Hello,

Which 'Count' should the compiler select ? I suspect TSub.Count ?

I think we should prohibit this dubious construct in ObjFC mode.
(but try to be delphi compatible in Delphi mode)

I found an old conversation between Leonardo and Florian about the Fatail 
internal error 200111022. The thread concluded that they could not reproduce 
the error.

I got this error while converting a large project from Delphi to FPC. It turns 
out that a base class has a property Count, and a derived class has a function 
with the same name Count. This will compile, untill you call the property or 
function Count.

I created an example that should explain it. Uncomment the marked line to get 
the fatal internal error:

program project1;

{$mode objfpc}{$H+}

uses
 {$IFDEF UNIX}{$IFDEF UseCThreads}
 cthreads,
 {$ENDIF}{$ENDIF}
 Classes;

type

 TBase = class
 private
   function GetCount: Integer;
 public
   property Count: Integer read GetCount;
 end;

 TSub = class(TBase)
 public
   function Count: Integer; overload;
 end;

function TSub.Count: Integer;
begin
 Result := 0;
end;

{ TBase }

function TBase.GetCount: Integer;
begin
 Result := 0;
end;

var
 MySub: TSub;
 i : Integer;
begin
 MySub := TSub.Create;
// uncomment the next line for Fatal Internal error 200111022:
//  for i := 0 to MySub.Count do begin end;
end.
