DAG dependency throws an error

[kikofernandez]

The following example throws an error due to duplicate definition of a class List.
The error happens because we are importing the list file from two different files, namely main.enc and sss.enc.

-- file: main.enc
import list
import sss

class Main
  def main(): void
    new X

--file: list.enc
class List
  def x(): void
    ()

--file: sss.enc
import list

class X
  def x(): void
    ()

Currently, the module implementation is not more sophisticated than a hash-include, so anything imported multiple times is included multiple times in the generated code.
It should be relatively easy to fix this – when I find time.

hi there, I have a half solution to this issue. it's in the branch features/module-include in my fork. This could be considered as a temporary patch if we want to have something working for the plenary. The main idea is to put all the imports in the Main class and some more mangling that I do... but not much.
So far, the example given above can run and compile (there might be some more bugs... you are welcome to help)

Shortcomings:

• Classes have unique names, you cannot create two classes with the same name in different modules
• same for functions

As I said, it's not ideal... but it's something :)

P.S. there might some other unknown bugs. If this is not helpful because we want to do it right from the beginning (whatever right means...), this is a prototype and we can throw it away
