adding objcbase to uses list gives duplicate identifer

[MISV]

Hi,

Since I am giving up fixing fpc source and making Lazarus accept the new units files when compiling (works fine when browsing code) I am reimplementing all WKxxxx declarations myself.



OK, so having said that, adding WKFrameInfo to my own unit cause a problem...

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. Type
2. WKFrameInfo =  objcclass external (NSObject, NSCopyingProtocol)
3. public
4.   function isMainFrame: ObjCBOOL: message 'isMainFrame';
5.   function request: NSURLRequest: message 'request';
6.   function copyWithZone (zone: NSZonePtr): id; message 'copywithzone:';
7. end;
8.  

gives error

"Error: Duplicate identifier "zone"

"Hint: Identifier already defined in unit OBJCBASE: objcbase,pp at line 134

OK... And so it is as a function in "NSObject = objcclass external (NSObjectProtocol)"... How do I fix this?

....


Kinda mystified I tried to include unit objcbase in my uses list and that gives error

"Error: Duplicate identifier "OBJCBASE"

(notice case)

I guess this is somehow added implicitly



Quick note: Anyone wanting to use the WKWebView browser for the utmost non-trivial things will need the WKxxxx declarations but will either need to fix source themselves or recompile and while checking generated files I have recompiled those I wanted it simply will not work in Lazarus: https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,42001.msg428233.html#msg428233

I believe in the past I've simply renamed a conflicting argument. The important part is the argument type. So try renaming zone to, say, myzone and cross your fingers and toes.

Thank you. Appears to compile. I will write if I encounter further problems. Otherwise that is at least an alternative solution to the problem. (And if FPCSrc get fixed at some point each to remove declarations again)
