"With no error messages, or even with no changes to the program since 1 and a half year in the repository, the scientific calculations are now all blown up, and program outputs only errors at runtime. The maintainer now curses and chases me for having the nerve to leave a program known as working in such a horrible mess in the repository."
Never tested, but doesnt the compiler warn of the colision ? if not, it should. Usually i prefix my symbols with some meaningfull prefixes to avoid collision. I never have two symbols with the same name and i hardly used unit prefixes in the past. But a collision warning from the compiler would be helpfull. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
