When I do this, I get a linker error. If I fix the case in the
import statement, it compiles. It looks like this is related to
how the symbol names get mangled, and the names not matching up
once we get to the link step.
To me, it seems that this should either be:
- A failure during compile instead of link, with a more helpful
message about the import failing, or
- A successful link that is permissive of filename case
I lean towards the former. Thoughts?
This is where I wish I could edit posts. Here is what the above
should look like, with the typos fixed:
