Extended Description

Compiling module ScalarIO lead to the following error message:
ABORT: line 643  file: ScalarIO.sac
ABORT: Cannot infer type of "result" as it corresponds to "..." return type
ABORT: -- missing type declaration
This is due to the fact that the source code of function scanchar, which
includes a declaration for the type of result, is transformed in phase 5. The
original code looks like:
inline bool, char scanchar()
{
  char result;
  success, result=TermFile::scanf("%c");
  return(success==1, result);
}
After transformation we get:
inline
#189: in [ --, Terminal::Terminal] le <> ge <>, #190: in [ --,
TermFile::TermFile] le <> ge <>, #191: in [ --, bool[*]] le <> ge <>, #192: in [
--, char[*]] le <> ge <> ScalarIO::scanchar( Terminal::Terminal
_rso_322_TheTerminal, TermFile::TermFile _rso_321_stdin)
/*
 *  scanchar ::  ---
 */
{
  unknown[*] _flat_9__SSA0_1; /* (null) */
  unknown[*] result__SSA0_2; /* (null) */
  unknown[*] result__SSA0_1; /* (null) */
  unknown[*] _rso_321_stdin__SSA0_1; /* (null) */
  unknown[*] _rso_322_TheTerminal__SSA0_1; /* (null) */
  unknown[*] _flat_9; /* (null) */
  unknown[*] _flat_10; /* (null) */
  unknown[*] success; /* (null) */
  unknown[*] _flat_6; /* (null) */
  unknown[*] _flat_7; /* (null) */
  unknown[*] _flat_8; /* (null) */
  unknown[*] result; /* (null) */
  _flat_8 = 2;
  _flat_7 = [ '%', 'c', '\0' ];
  _flat_6 = wrapper:String::to_string( _flat_7, _flat_8);
  _rso_322_TheTerminal__SSA0_1, _rso_321_stdin__SSA0_1, success, result =
wrapper:TermFile::scanf( _rso_322_TheTerminal, _rso_321_stdin, _flat_6);
  result__SSA0_1 = type_conv( char, result);
  _flat_10 = 1;
  _flat_9 = wrapper:ScalarArith::==( success, _flat_10);
  result__SSA0_2 = type_conv( char, result__SSA0_1);
  _flat_9__SSA0_1 = type_conv( bool, _flat_9);
  return( _rso_322_TheTerminal__SSA0_1, _rso_321_stdin__SSA0_1, _flat_9__SSA0_1,
result__SSA0_2);
}
The original declaration has thus been transformed into a type_conv. This leads
to the given error message, as no declared type is available for result...
