Error when incremental compiler encounter a value defined in inherited class as protected[scope]. #5013

scabug · 2011-09-20T12:24:45Z

A compilation error is returned when trying to compile a scala file containing a value defined in inherited class as protected:

// a/Foo.scala
package a

class Foo {
  protected[Foo] var x = 0
}

// b/Bar.scala
package b

class Bar extends a.Foo {
  println(x)
}

$ fsc a/Foo.scala
$ fsc b/Bar.scala 
b/Bar.scala:4: error: not found: value x
  println(x)
          ^
one error found
$

If the 2 scala files are compile at the same time, the compilation goes fine.

$ fsc a/Foo.scala b/Bar.scala 
$

Note for future me: protected[a] is visible, protected[Foo] is not.
