Multiple declaration of the same variable

I builded a small project as follows:

=============================
int a;
int a; // Yes the same variable declared in the same way

main()
{ ...// anything
} =============================

this project is successfully compiled. No warnings.
Why ?
What is really performed:
1. Only one variable.
2. Two variable occupying different memory but for further using only one is accessible.

How to check such a possible duplicate declaration in very large project with many files included if there is no warnings for this case?

(If Variable name is the same but declarations are different [int and char for an example] error occurs as expected)

This was tested on uVision 2.30 Keil C51 7.02
