[Lazarus] overloaded proc not found

[Marc Santhoff]

Hi,

is there any problem with overloading in fpc2.6.0? Or another change
making lazarus behave like this:

<snip>

// ncore.pas

TnkDOMTree = class( TXMLDocument )
public
...
end;

function LoadTnkTreeTreeFromXMLFile(fname: string): TnkDOMTree;
var
  t: TnkDOMTree;
begin
  t := NIL; { avoid warning }
  try
    XMLRead.ReadXMLFile(t, fname); // <-- line 82, errror spot
  except
    on e: exception do begin
      FreeAndNil(t);
    end;
  end;
  result := t;
end;

// XMLRead.pas, from line 44:

procedure ReadXMLFile(out ADoc: TXMLDocument; const AFilename: String); overload;
procedure ReadXMLFile(out ADoc: TXMLDocument; var f: Text); overload;
procedure ReadXMLFile(out ADoc: TXMLDocument; f: TStream); overload;
procedure ReadXMLFile(out ADoc: TXMLDocument; f: TStream; const ABaseURI: String); overload;

</snip>

Compiler says on "build all":

ncore.pp(82,33) Error: Incompatible type for arg no. 2: Got "AnsiString", expected "TStream"

Compiler is:
$ fpc -i
Free Pascal Compiler version 2.6.0

Compiler Date      : 2011/12/30
Compiler CPU Target: x86_64
...

I did not change anything in the source, but the machine is now on 64
bit OS and was 32 bit. And I updated lazarus (from 2012-07-05, SVN
35971). Those lines compiled and ran fine, and I think they should do
now, too. I've tried deleting all .o and .ppu of the program, no change.

TIA,
Marc
