Dangling modifier in extends clauses not detected if name exists locally.

[Jan Brugård]

Example:

model A
end A;

model B
  extends A(p = 2);
  parameter Real p;
end B;

Example above gives NO warning when checking the class, even though there is no variable p declared in class A. This seems to be because the name p is also used in class B and the check is done after flattening the inheritance hierarchy. If we change the local name to q in class B we will get a warning. See below:

model A
end A;

model B
  extends A(p = 2);
  parameter Real q;
end B;

Check of B failed
Error: In modifier (p = 2), class or component p not found in <B>
Error: Error occured while flattening model B

Here we can see that the error message is also very misleading due to the check being done after flattening. The error message refers to class B and not the inherited class A.

Still an issue, since we handle extends incorrectly.

This is handled correctly by the new frontend, and the old frontend will not be fixed since it's too broken in this regard.
