Is this a bug?
f#

Hi,

I can't seem to call a function that is declared in an interface file. The file contents and compilation output are below.

Rob

----- logging.fsi -----

module BugReports.Logging

val logfn : string -> unit

----- misc.fs -----

#light

module BugReports.Misc

BugReports.Logging.logfn "abc"

----- logging.fs -----

module BugReports.Logging

let logfn (str:string) = ()

----- Visual Studio compilation output -----

Executing
C:\Program Files\FSharp-1.9.1.8\bin\fsc.exe --fullpaths --progress -a -Ooff -g -o "c:\bugreports2\test.dll" "logging.fsi" "misc.fs" "logging.fs"
in directory
C:\BugReports2\
Typecheck implementation BugReports.Misc
Typecheck implementation BugReports.Logging
Note, optimizations are off.

C:\BugReports2\misc.fs(5,0): error: *** Local value logfn not found during optimization.

.

Your files should be given in order "logging.fsi" "logging.fs" "misc.fs", since Misc uses Logging.

Adjust the order of your files (by editing the project file: right click on the project, choose "unload project", right click again and choose "Edit test.fsharpp", adjust the order of entries, reload the project).

The error message could certainly be better here. Indeed in this case the compiler could swallow the error without causing compilation to stop (that's what it used to do before 1.9.1)

regards

Okay, I see. Thanks for the response.

In my real program I have a mutual dependency between the two modules, so I'll need to rethink things.
