Hi, I have a small test program which doesn't compile: (file babyunit.pas) unit babyunit; interface type bug=(beetle, ant); procedure printbug(b : bug); implementation procedure printbug(b : bug); begin case b of beetle : writeln('beetle'); ant : writeln('ant') end end; end. (file baby.pas) program baby; uses babyunit; var lp : bug; type insect=(beetle, ant); begin {for lp:=bug(beetle) to bug(ant) do} { this compiles! } for lp:=beetle to ant do printbug(lp); end. Compiler error: gpc -g -c -w babyunit.pas gpc -g -c -w baby.pas baby.pas: In function `program_Baby': baby.pas:10: incompatible types in assignment It looks to be a problem with having the same identifier used in two enumerations; if those two enumerations are in the same unit a more informative error message results, such as: baby.pas:7: conflicting types for `Beetle' baby.pas:6: previous declaration of `Beetle' baby.pas:7: conflicting types for `Ant' baby.pas:6: previous declaration of `Ant' baby.pas: In function `program_Baby': baby.pas:11: incompatible types in assignment (when type foo=(beetle,ant); is added immediately after type insect in baby.pas). This is the most recent gpc beta snapshot compiled against the gcc 2.8.1 backend on intel/linux. Any ideas?
