[B136] Error loading Mastering ENVY/Developer Testing Extensions

[marten]

I got an error under Linux (did not check Windows):

Mastering ENVY/Developer Testing Extensions V 5.5.1 [19] can not be loaded, because MedPrereqCheckTestCase>>#quonk does not compile.

Marten -

You will get the same error in Windows. This code has not changed since we introduced it in VAST V7.5. I do not remember seeing this error before (but that could be due to a memory fault). We will look into it. Case 45357.

Fixed in V8.0.4.

The behavior differs based on whether or not you are running with a clean image. In a clean image, the 2 symbols are not defined, so you get the compiler error; otherwise, the 2 symbols already exist, so you get only the 2 Warning 91 messages.

There is no way to eliminate the 2 Warning 91 messages on first load since the test case is intended to define 2 globals in the unmanaged namespace. But if you do a reload of the application (without an intervening unload) the 2 globals will already be defined, so you will not get the 2 Warning 91 messages. The best that can be done is write an explanation to the Transcript that covers both cases.

I also discovered that the app did not remove the 2 globals when it was unloaded -- this has been corrected.

Finally, I renamed the 2 globals to something more unique to eliminate the possibility of naming collisions.
