Hi,

I'm just sitting here at the machine which compiles the OS/2 snapshots. I hope someone who can answer my question is still awake. :)

FPC/2 fails to cycle currently, because some new errors just appeared in pmstddlg.pas file in the RTL. It seems to be, that the new compiler is more strict on the variable/type names, and doesn't allow to a variable and a type to co-exist under the same identifier.

The error messages appear:
D:/develop/main/fpc/compiler/ppc1.exe -Ur -Xs -OG2p3 -n -Fi../inc
-Fi../i386 -Fi../os2 -FE. -Ch8000000 -di386 -dRELEASE ../os2/pmstddlg.pas
pmstddlg.pas(653,40) Error: Error in type definition

pmstddlg.pas(1069,32) Error: Error in type definition
pmstddlg.pas(1208,3) Fatal: There were 8 errors compiling module, stopping

All the errors come from the same problem, described above. Like this:
CNRDragInfo = record
pDragInfo : PDragInfo; { <- line 852 }

           pRecord : PRecordCore;
        end;

The PDragInfo type is declared somewhere above. My question is that this change will be constant in the compiler, or this is a "bug" or a side effect of a recent change? So should i fix these problems to compile correctly with the current compiler, or leave it untouched for now?

It is a bug in the compiler. I changed the routine to look for types. I guess i broke it for records.

Patch is attached
