493.7Status?TLE::LUCIAhttp://asaab.zko.dec.com/~lucia/biography.htmlWed May 14 1997 20:223
    Status?  Should ladebug actually collapse all the files with the same
    spelling into just one?
    
493.8Worst case scenario?VIRRUS::diewaldVortex of ChaosThu May 15 1997 12:0616
What happens if you do:

cd ./directory1
<compile> -c -o ./file.o ./file.xyz
cd ../directory2
<compile> -c -o ./file.o ./file.xyz
cd ..
<link> -o obnoxious ./directory1/file.o ./directory2/file.o

Is it possible to manufacture a situation where you could get
identical file names for *different* files?

This would break in the case of collapsing all of the file
names.  Is it something that someone might have a valid
and compelling reason to do?  (I can't think of one, which
is why collapsing all the names sounds like a good idea.)
