This error message says you have a variable in an inner scope shadowing a 
variable in an outer scope. This is allowed in "the programmer is always right" 
type languages like C or C++, but not in "let's try to prevent common mistakes 
by banning the constructs which cause them" type languages like Java or C#. 
(The potential mistake in this case is of course confusing the variables with 
the same name, i.e. trying to refer to the outer "result" variable and getting 
the inner one instead.)

The obvious fix is of course to rename the local "result" variable to something 
non-conflicting. Given that this code appears to be automatically generated, 
the patch will probably have to be applied to the generator.
