extern (C) private linking issue

[William R. DeVore]

I am running into an issue under windows during linking.

I am getting an optlink error based on a private function in a module:

Simulations\CylBoxSlide.obj(CylBoxSlide) Offset 01494H Record Type 00C3
Error 1: Previous Definition Different : _collisionCallback 
[/quote]

File CylVsSphere.d has:
[code]
extern (C) private void collisionCallback(void* data, dGeomID o1, dGeomID o2) {
...
} 
[/code]

and
CylBoxSlide.d has:
[code]
extern (C) private void collisionCallback(void* data, dGeomID o1, dGeomID o2) {
...
}
[/code]

Doesn't the private attribute hide the functions?

These modules are imported in a factory module (SimFactory.d) as so:
[code]
module Simulations.SimFactory;

import Simulations.ISimulation;
import Simulations.CylVsSphere;
import Simulations.CylBoxSlide;
...
[/code]

Linux linker respects the scope but window doesn't. I am using dmd 1.007

Any suggestions? Should I submit a bugzilla?
I really don't want to have a unique name for each collision callback function inside a module if I can avoid it.

Thks.
