Bad error messages in Metrowerks Codewarrior

That's an error message raised by CW:



Error   : object 'CSemModel::NotifyObserverL(MSemModelObserver::TModelEvent)'

csemmodel.cpp line 253

Error   : Compile failed

And that's the equivalent gcc error message:



Error   : redefinition of `void CSemModel::NotifyObserverL(enum MSemModelObserver::TModelEvent)'

CSEMMODEL.cpp line 253

Error   : `void CSemModel::NotifyObserverL(enum MSemModelObserver::TModelEvent)' previously defined here

CSEMMODEL.cpp line 209

Error   : Compile failed

gna CW for Symbian OS is not a C++ compiler, it's a disease.

CW is crappy wherever you look at. Just try converting an unsigned char* to a signed char* without turning on relaxed pointer checking...

we should be fair enough to mention that the error messages of gcc only 'recently' got better and still often enough they aren't as good as they should.
