When I tried to compile the list class test program (test11.cc)
from the GNU libgxx library using the Oasys
version 1.2 compiler, I got the following error:
designer C++ Programming System, release 1.2 Vms4.5.1

"intList.hxx", line 129: error: append() declared both as const int and as fun
ction
------------
The code fragments below show the conflict:
// From stream.hxx
enum open_mode { input=0, output=1, append=2 };
// from intlist.hxx (from gnu libgxx list_h.proto)
class intList
{
.
public:
.
friend intList append(intList& a, intList& b);
.
};
inline void intList::append(intList& l)
{
.
}
Is this a bug? If not, this seems to be a very restrictive
name space problem with the language and how header files
and libraries can be constructed. Any comments?
