Hint "never used" does not work for global variables when variable with same name exists elsewhere

[Claus Pedersen]

If I have a variable in the package body, and a variable with the same name in a procedure in the body, the 'global' variable is not reported as "never used" by the compiler hints.

This also goes for constants, types, cursors etc.

 

[Marco Kalter]

Such an unused variable is indeed currently not reported. We'll enhance this.

It is probably related to the post Variable with same name as method is not recognised as a variable by the parser
