Summary0000557: Ambiguous type causes compiler error without giving a useful error message for debugging
DescriptionMercury-Versions: 22.01 and rotd-2022-04-07

Two discriminated union types are defined in separate modules foo.m and bar.m and share the same name `ambiguous_type`. The module foo.m defines a record type of which one field has type `ambiguous_type`. A module qualification for the type of this record field is missing.

Actual result:
The compiler aborts with error and without giving a useful error message for debugging.

Expected result:
The compiler aborts with error, complaining about the missing module qualification for the ambiguous type.
Steps To ReproduceRun the attached test case (foo.m and bar.m)

mmc --make foo
