I have a field called OFFSET, in a file, that's defined as packed(5,0).
And in an ADDT0100-type structure for a call to QtmmSendMail, in one of
the programs that uses this file, I also have a field called OFFSET,
defined as a 4-byte binary.
Remarkably, the thing compiles (and has, with this selfsame seeming name
collision, for over a year).
Neither of the two fields gets accessed directly. Is that why the
compiler isn't seeing the name collision?
I'm assuming that the reason a potentially polluted "offset to next
address structure" field isn't blowing up QtmmSendMail is that there's
never a "next address structure" to offset to.
