Priority between module procedure and external procedure

[netphilou31]

Hi all,

I have just a simple question I am almost sure of the answer but wanted to have your comments on it.
What is the priority between a module procedure called "A" and a procedure "A" belonging to the same project ? I guess that for routines using the module and calling the routine "A" this is the routine belonging to the module which is called and for the other, the local routine "A" is called. It is probably due to a bad programing but I have discovered this problem when converting an old CVF project. I guess that the linker has no problem for building the target because one object is named _mp_A and the second is just named "A".

Best regards,

Phil.

A procedure (program unit, subroutine, function, ...) in a module is only visible if its module is USEd
(directly or indirectly). Then it takes "precedence", if that is the right word, over any procedure by the
same name that is outside any module. There may be a conflict with intrinsic procedures. Not sure how
that is dealt with.

The linker indeed only gets these decorated names, so it does not have to know anything about modules.

Arjen
