Synopsis: Wrong formal generic name reported for precursor feature in VDRD(2) error message
Description
Compiling with the attached classes causes the compiler to correctly report a VDRD(2) error. However, the error message says: Class: TEST2 [G] Redefined feature: success: BOOLEAN From: TEST2 Precursor: success: WEASEL From: TEST1 The type of the precursor feature is actually formal generic ERMINE, not WEASEL, so the error message is very confusing.
To Reproduce
Compile with attached classes and config file. Examine error message and compare with the type of feature `success' in class TEST2.
