I am trying to compile a Delphi matrix package using fpc 1.9.4 and I don't know if I misunderstand FPC's overloading or if there is an FPC problem. The code is located here:
http://www.fssc.demon.co.uk/Delphi/delphi.htm#TMatrix Lines 84-85 define a transpose method: 84 function transpose : TMatrix; {overload;} 85 function transpose (m : TMatrix) : TMatrix; {overload;} (I commented out the overload keyword.. doesn't seem to matter.). I don't see any forward declaration of 'transpose': [EMAIL PROTECTED] misc code]$ grep -i transpose mat.pas function transpose : TMatrix; overload; function transpose (m : TMatrix) : TMatrix; overload; { Transpose matrix 'Self', Self is thus destroyed and replaced } { Usage: A.transpose } function TMatrix.Transpose : TMatrix; { move data from transpose to Self } { Transpose the matrix 'm' into Self } { Usage: T.transpose (A); Tranposes A and puts result into T } { Will also accept T.transpose (T) } function TMatrix.Transpose (m : TMatrix) : TMatrix; raise EMatrixSizeError.Create ('Destination matrix has incorrect dimensions for transpose'); { If the user is trying to transpose itself.... } tmp.Transpose (st); Self.Transpose (ns); This is the output when I try to compile: [EMAIL PROTECTED] misc code]$ fpc -gl -S2 -Cr -Co mat.pas Free Pascal Compiler version 1.9.4 [2004/05/30] for i386 Copyright (c) 1993-2004 by Florian Klaempfl Target OS: Linux for i386 Compiling mat.pas mat.pas(85,41) Error: Duplicate identifier "M" mat.pas(85,30) Error: Function is already declared Public/Forward "TMatrix.transpose:TMatrix" mat.pas(87,38) Error: Duplicate identifier "M" mat.pas(89,38) Error: Duplicate identifier "M" mat.pas(90,38) Error: Duplicate identifier "M" mat.pas(91,30) Error: Function is already declared Public/Forward "TMatrix.mult(Extended):TMatrix" mat.pas(93,38) Error: Duplicate identifier "M" mat.pas(103,40) Error: Duplicate identifier "M" mat.pas(117,73) Error: Duplicate identifier "c" mat.pas(118,48) Error: Duplicate identifier "r" mat.pas(118,73) Error: Duplicate identifier "c" mat.pas(119,59) Error: Duplicate identifier "r" mat.pas(127,1) Fatal: There were 12 errors compiling module, stopping Any ideas on getting fpc to compile this?
