This fails to compile
void main()
{
{
int nestedFunc(int val)
{
return val;
}
}
{
float nestedFunc(float val)
{
return val;
}
}
}
with the error
d.d(10): Error: declaration nestedFunc is already defined in another scope in
main
The functions are in separate scopes. No name shadowing is occurring. I don't
see why they can't both exist. If they were variables, there would be no
problem. Obviously, this is intentional given the specificity of the error
message, but it seems overly restrictive to me. So, I'm submitting it as a
feature request that nested functions be allowed to have the same name if
they're in separate scopes and no name shadowing/hiding can occur.
