Ticket #222:
Error message is wrong when trying to access a symbol in a namespace when the symbol doesn't exist

If you try to access a symbol using a namespace and that symbol is missing the interpreter will tell you to use a namespace:
include smclients.e as clients
procedure fill_form(integer self, integer event, sequence params)
sequence client
client = clients:get(current_client)
if current_client = 0 then
fill_dropdowns( DropDownList_GivenName, DropDownList_FamilyName,
getText(DropDownList_GivenName), getText(DropDownList_FamilyName) )
end if
end procedure
setHandler(ThisWindow, w32HOpen, routine_id("fill_form") )
I get the following error:
h:\documents\dev\original\sm\smregistrations.e:33
<0023>:: A namespace qualifier is needed to resolve 'get'
because 'get' is declared as a global/public symbol in:
h:\documents\dev\original\sm\smcourses.e
E:\EUPHORIA\include\std\get.e
client = clients:get(current_client)
It should say something like 'get' is not defined as a global/public symbol in the namespace clients.

I'm having trouble trying to reproduce this issue.
Can you supply an example that I can run that shows the error?

Cannot reproduce this yet, and as it is minor issue, plus no one else seems to be concerned with it, let's defer any resolution til after 4.0 release.

The following example gives me this error:
/tmp/yu2/a.e:5
<0074>:: Errors resolving the following references:
a.e (5): hi
? d:hi(1)
As of at least 3730, this bug appears to have been fixed.
-- b.e
public function hi(object x)
return x + 1
end function
--end
-- c.e
public function hi(object x)
return x + 2
end function
-- end
-- d.e
function jhi(object x)
return x + 2
end function
-- end
-- a.e
include b.e as b
include c.e as c
include d.e as d
? d:hi(1)
-- end

Changed to a feature request.
The OP I think wants a different message when an identifier is explicitly referred to in a specific namespace but the identifier isn't declared in that namespace.
So in your example, the message should be more like ...
/tmp/yu2/a.e:5
<0nnn>:: Unresolved because "hi" cannot be found in namespace "d"
? d:hi(1)
^

I think that if this had been an issue, it's been resolved. I tried this:
include std/map.e
include std/regex.e
include std/get.e
? stdget:new()
...and got...
bug.ex:6
<0074>:: Errors resolving the following references:
bug.ex (6): new
? stdget:new()
^
If I instead try:
? new()
...I get:
bug.ex:6
<0023>:: A namespace qualifier is needed to resolve 'new'
because 'new' is declared as a global/public symbol in:
/usr/local/share/euphoria/include/std/regex.e
/usr/local/share/euphoria/include/std/map.e
? new()
^
Both errors seem correct to me. This was using svn:3742. I've assigned this back to Shawn to look at, since it looks like it has been fixed.

This works for me the same way it works for you. I am using version 3829. I will change this from Accepted to Fixed.

So, if you want to make this say things should say Unresolved reference: "stddev:get" instead of only "get". It should be on another ticket.
