The three following files show two apparent bugs:

1. The compiler seems to get confused between a standard procedure and an

object method with the same name.

Yes, that's true. I came across this problem as well recently.

2. Types declared in other units are still problematical. Comment out

procedure aaa in unit 1. Now the main program fails to compile:

Error Incompatible type for argument 2 of Twoobj_Bbb.

Hmpf... this problem was fixed for schema, pointer and record types, but apparently not for enum types. :-( I added it to the bug list. Anyway, Peter is working on a new GPI format which will hopefully get rid of this kind of bugs (there are a few more of them) altogether...

I can't even seem to find a workaround for this (apart from abandoning the user-defined type).

Perhaps some type-casting to Integer and back will help, but it's not nice...

Perhaps it's better, until the bug is fixed, to turn the enum type into an integer:

type RRtype = Integer;

const rr_one = 0; rr_two = 1; ...

Not very nice, either, but then there's ugliness only in one place -- but of course, you lose some degree of type-safety...
