Compiler hang, using macros & linkedlists same named

Hello freak!

When I was 'geistig umnachtet', I used a macro and a linked list at the same time, both named "mauszeiger" and With inside the macro.
Of course, this was not done on purpose by me, but can you add a debugger check? I re-started the IDE several times, wondering why the compiler freezes insted of doing its work until I recognized the error finally. Thanks.

This would prevent future users from doing the same 'Blödsinn'. :wink:

The debugger doesn't work until the program is run. If the compiler hangs then it's a bug in the compiler and can't be caught with the debugger since it's not yet started.

Also, the debugger checks are added in the debugger, not in the IDE, so this isn't the correct forum section.

The check does not need to be done by the debugger.
Es ist mir egal, if the check is done by the IDE, the debugger, the compiler... :wink:
