FATAL:Symbol _SAME already defined.

8 Jul 2003

      I'm not sure if this is a bug, but the error you get when two symbols 
have the same name is rather obscure:

zany:~/unix/c/testpas% gpc -W -Wall testpas10.pas
/var/tmp//ccWdBBvY.s:36:FATAL:Symbol _SAME already defined.

Example:

program testpas10;

	procedure test( a: Integer ); attribute( name = 'SAME' );
	begin
		WriteLn( a );
	end;

	procedure test2( a: Integer ); attribute( name = 'SAME' );
	begin
		WriteLn( a );
	end;

begin
end.

I would expect a more sensible error.

Enjoy,
    Peter.
