A duplicated TOC entry (e.g., a resource being once listed as binary in
Analysis.binaries
and once as data inAnalysis.datas
) in the firstAnalysis
being passed toMERGE()
ends up generating a spuriousDEPENDENCY
entry with a self-reference to itself.Therefore, the
dependencies
TOC of the primaryAnalysis
object ends up non-empty, and if passed toEXE()
, results in a non-functional executable.
