Severity: Non-critical
Number: 19241
Release: 16.05

Synopsis: [er] Infinite recursion in EV_DIALOG_IMP_MODAL.show

Description
The Gobo compiler is able to compile flat versions of features. When compiling the generated C code, the C compiler emits a warning about infinite recursions.
Indeed, if you look at the flat view of EV_DIALOG_IMP_MODAL.show and EV_UNTITLED_DIALOG_IMP_MODAL.show in the Feature tool of EiffelStudio, you will see that `show' is called at the end of the feature.
This is the result of rename and select clauses along the way of the inheritance graph, as there is no recursion in the class where this routine is written.

The issue is fixed in rev#98901 of EiffelStudio.
The involved feature is never executed in a regular Vision application because modal dialogs are shown only relative to a parent window and do not call `show` under Windows.
