[Swift-devel] Procedure re-defintion, feature or bug ?

[Yadu Nand]

Hi,

Following what Justin said about function redefinition being a
feature in the shell I tried a test to check if that really works in
swift.

(int o) f (int i){
   o = i ;
}
trace ( "first" , f(5) );

(int z) f (int a){
   z = a * 10;
}
trace ( "second", f(5) );

In swift this would give :
second, 50
first , 50

What I think is, the procedures are overwritten around compile
time which allows this behavior, in which only the last definition
is valid by execution time.
