Bug ID: 127567
Summary: Import in local module does not import from the
universe of modules
Product: gcc
Version: 17.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: modula2
Assignee: gaius at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: gaius at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
It appears that an IMPORT inside a local module will only import symbols from
the outer module and cannot import a module from the universe of external
modules (libraries for example).
Forwarded from the gm2 mailing list:
$ cat badimport.mod
MODULE badimport;
IMPORT STextIO;
MODULE interne;
IMPORT Storage;
IMPORT SYSTEM;
EXPORT tt;
TYPE
Err = POINTER TO ErrDesc;
ErrDesc = RECORD
nr, line, col: INTEGER;
next: Err
END;
VAR
nextErr: Err;
PROCEDURE tt;
BEGIN
Storage.ALLOCATE(nextErr, SYSTEM.TSIZE(ErrDesc));
END tt;
BEGIN
END interne;
BEGIN
STextIO.WriteString("Bonjour");
END badimport.
