Strange potential bug in VC++ 2005

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi guys,

I'm not really sure whether this is the appropriate newsgroup to ask this in
(I checked the descriptions of the various VC++ groups but my issue didn't
seem to fit neatly into any of them); please could someone redirect me if
it's not?

Basically, my problem is this: I was trying to move my shared code into a
static library in VC++ 2005 and couldn't figure out why I kept getting
linker errors. After tinkering around with things for a while, I managed to
track down the problem to the fact that several pairs of my source files
were named the same (argh :-)), although they were distinct files in
different directories. When I renamed one of each pair, it fixed the
problem. I'd like to think this sort of problem shouldn't happen(!), but I
couldn't find it on the list of known bugs in the compiler. Is this by
design? Or if not, has anyone else encountered it? If it is an
as-yet-unencountered bug, who should I report it to please?

Cheers,
Stuart
