Why RBDimmer Lib. not capable with Arduino Iot cloud LIB

[jamsyogendra]

Hello everyone i am trying to match Rbdimmer lib:
Link:- https://github.com/RobotDynOfficial/RBDDimmer

with this lib but I am getting errors with my sketch

Arduino: 1.8.12 (Windows 10), Board: "NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module), 80 MHz, Flash, Legacy (new can return nullptr), All SSL ciphers (most compatible), 4MB (FS:2MB OTA:~1019KB), 2, v2 Lower Memory, Disabled, None, Only Sketch, 115200"

anyone can explain why this happing 

[jamsyogendra]

i already changed variable names ON/OFF in rbd, after that i got not compile with esp board error

[jamsyogendra]

i change the parameter name with different one, then i got zero compile error but after uploading my esp keep resetting

Thanks for your report @jamsyogendra.

I see we have another report about this problem of the library producing collisions due to the use of very common names at #315.

It is best to have only a single issue per subject so we can consolidate all relevant discussion to one place. Even though your issue came first, that one has more information so I will close this in favor of the other.

If you end up with additional information to share, feel free to comment in the other thread.

As long as there are defines in header files you will eventually have name collisions. Turn them into constants, put them behind a namespace. Now nearly everything is solved. Alas it's supposed to be "too complicated" for the average user ... Anyway, the child has fallen into the fountain already, there are gazillions of libraries that do this.
