Hi See this bug report: [http://bugs.freepascal.org/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=5942], with resolution "no change required". The result is the same still in FPC 2.3.1. I understand that the behavior should be kept as is, for compatibility with TP and/or Delphi and filesystems with 8.3 filenames.
But the error message is so unclear that it makes you "bang your head into the wall" when searching the problem :) --- error message speaks about "Error: Illegal unit name: TestUnit", not indicating anywhere that actually the problematic identifier is "TestUnitBla". When the TestUnit interface is large, it's almost impossible to realize that this error message is not related at all to "unit TestUnit;" declaration, it's only related to "uses TestUnitBla;". (And the cause may be simply that you forgot to add -Fu with path where TestUnitBla.pas resides.) Even compiling with -va doesn't indicate anywhere that the problem is with "TestUnitBla". So, maybe at least improve error message to Error: Illegal unit name: TestUnit, expected TestUnitBla This way it's clear that the problem is related to "TestUnitBla" identifier, so it's more clear that TestUnit.pas is mistakenly picked up as the source code for TestUnitBla.
