The problem is the name clashing. See:

Array_u8 string_bytes = firebird__marshal_array_u8(string_bytes(s));

V s.bytes() turns into string_bytes(s) C code, which crashes.

@spytheman @medvednikov what do you guys suggest for this cases?

[einar-hjortdal]

Is there a workaround I can use in the meantime? Development is stalled because of this error

The error is here

fn (mut p WireProtocol) pack_string(s string) {
	string_bytes := marshal_array_u8(s.bytes())
	p.buf = arrays.append(p.buf, string_bytes)
}

Just change string_bytes to strings_bytes_ for now

@felipensp would adding a default name mangling for user defined variables, functions, types, etc. and a different one for all internal auto generated types be a viable solution? ie. prefixing all user variables and functions with __VU_ and all internal library variables and std library functions with __VI_?

Yeah, I already thought about this approach. What do you think @medvednikov ?

[einar-hjortdal]

Why not postfix userland function names with a hash?

is there a benefit to a hash over just an int counter like is used for anonymous... I believe structs?
