Summary0000106: Linking with multiple C++ files yields a "duplicate symbol" error
DescriptionLinking a Mercury main module with two (or more) C++ files that utilise some Mercury code through pragma foreign_export fails with the linker reporting the following:

** Error making `mercury_main'.
ld: duplicate symbol _MR_trace_tailrec_have_reused_frames in CPlusPlus2.o and CPlusPlus1.o
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

(See the attachment for a minimal example.)

The platform is Darwin (Mac OS X 10.5.8), using Apple's GCC 4.1.2 which is shipped with Xcode 3.1.2.

Additional InformationAdding the keyword "extern" to variables

MR_trace_tailrec_have_reused_frames
and
MR_trace_tailrec_num_reused_frames

in `mercury_trace_base.h'

seems to resolve the issue, i.e. the program links and seems to run fine.
TagsNo tags attached.

Ah, forgot to mention the grade -- it's hlc.gc. Sorry!

The missing externs are a bug - I will fix this shortly.
