OK, you are suggesting that the compiler should treat parameter
names and function names as being in separate name spaces.
If you then have a function named foo and parameter named foo
and you use foo in your function? How does the compiler
distinguish between foo the parameter and foo the function?
C++ has the scope resolution operator ::, but C has no such
mechanism.
Use the extern keyword:
int foo() {
return 5;
}
void bar(int foo)
{
extern int foo();
foo();
}
enjoy :)
