Wish duplicate public variable warning

[mterveen]

currently i can define the exact same public variable in multiple process_globals. e.g. all 3 activities could have "dim i as int" in each process_globals. it would be nice to at least get a warning or better yet, be prevented from happening.

It is completely allowed to declare variables with the same name in different modules.

 

[ac9ts]

Then are they pointing to the same variable or are they separate for each declaration?

 

[Erel]

They are separate. There isn't any relation between them.

As "'These variables can be accessed from all modules", I can see mterveen's point where you think you are updating a process global but are in fact only updating a module variable (if you mistakenly give the same name). I'll have to keep this in mind on how a layout my code.

Not true, to update a global variable from a different module, you always have to use its prefix( class name or object name if it's a lib)

True but you may not always realize it until things go astray.
