Variable with same name as method is not recognised as a variable by the parser

[Claus Pedersen]

I have the following code snippet in a package:

PROCEDURE tester IS
  tester  INT;
  tester2 INT;
BEGIN
  NULL;
END;

When compiling, I get one hint that:
Hint: Variable 'tester2' is declared but never used in 'tester'

But the variable 'tester' is not recognised as a variable by the PLD parser and is not reported as never used.

This seems to be caused by the fact that the variable and procedure have the same name. We'll fix it.

 

[Claus Pedersen]

Have you planned a fix for this?
