OpenEuphoria

1. Annoyed by "attempt to redefine" error

I have been using Euphoria for a couple of years now and really enjoy using it.

Today I have struck an error which seems illogical and suspect that either my version of Euphoria has become corrupted or I have just gone nuts.

The code I am having trouble with is this:-

function cleanUp(sequence page) 
atom junk, EOF, loc 
sequence first, second, Linkblock, links, line, stops, 
links = {} 
Linkblock = {} 
EOF = True 

When I run it I get an "attempt to redefine links" and a pointer to the instance where I am setting the links variable to an empty sequence.

links is only used in this function, I renamed it to lincs to test and got the same error.

I have commented the offending line out and I get "attempt to redefine Linkblock" and a pointer to the next line. Yes, if I comment out that line I get "attempt ot redefine EOF" and a pointer to that line.

All of these variables are only used in this function. This code was working in this format for the last few hours but now isn't.

I am running Windows XP in VirtualBox on a Linux computer. I am using Win32Lib IDE V1.0.0 and Win32Lib V0.60.6 with Euphoria V3.1

Any suggestions?

Hi

Yup, all been there and smoked that chicken, but, if you were using eu 4 then

function cleanUp(sequence page)  
atom junk, EOF = True, loc  
sequence first, second, line, stops,  
links = {},  
Linkblock = {}  
 

would be the way to init variables
