Description _ gtzabari 2002-12-25 03:17:54 UTC

dev build 200212060100

1) Mount a CVS directory
2) Let class A extends class B
3) Run CVS | REMOVE on class B, CVS | REMOVE is
configured to delete files on this operation (even
if the changes are uncommited) so after this
operation the file object is "virtual".
4) Try running the "Internal Compiler" against
class A.

   Instrad of complaining about "class B does not
exist" it'll complain "cannot open file null" or
something similar. This has been around for many
months now but I've only recently figured it out
;) It leads to very ambigious error messages.

This can be fixed only in the internal compiler I suppose. It has to
ignore virtual FileObjects.
