final bool functionSemantic();
Resolve forward reference of function signature - parameter types, return type, and attributes. Returns false if any errors exist in the signature.
final bool functionSemantic3();
Resolve forward reference of function body. Returns false if any errors exist in the body.
final bool checkForwardRef(ref const Loc loc);
Check that this function type is properly resolved. If not, report "forward reference error" and return true.
final int overrides(FuncDeclaration fd);
Determine if 'this' overrides fd. Return !=0 if it does.
final int findVtblIndex(Dsymbols* vtbl, int dim, bool fix17349 = true);
Find index of function in vtbl[0..dim] that this function overrides. Prefer an exact match to a covariant one.

bool overloadInsert(Dsymbol s);
Overload this FuncDeclaration with the new one f. Return true if successful; i.e. no conflict.
final FuncDeclaration overloadExactMatch(Type t);
Find function in overload list that exactly matches t.
final FuncDeclaration overloadModMatch(ref const Loc loc, Type tthis, ref bool hasOverloads);
Find function in overload list that matches to the 'this' modifier. There's four result types.
1. If the 'tthis' matches only one candidate, it's an "exact match". Returns the function and 'hasOverloads' is set to false. eg. If 'tthis" is mutable and there's only one mutable method. 2. If there's two or more match candidates, but a candidate function will be a "better match". Returns the better match function but 'hasOverloads' is set to true. eg. If 'tthis' is mutable, and there's both mutable and const methods, the mutable method will be a better match. 3. If there's two or more match candidates, but there's no better match, Returns null and 'hasOverloads' is set to true to represent "ambiguous match". eg. If 'tthis' is mutable, and there's two or more mutable methods. 4. If there's no candidates, it's "no match" and returns null with error report. e.g. If 'tthis' is const but there's no const methods.
final TemplateDeclaration findTemplateDeclRoot();
find function template root in overload list
final bool inUnittest();
Returns true if function was declared directly or indirectly in a unittest block
final MATCH leastAsSpecialized(FuncDeclaration g);

final LabelDsymbol searchLabel(Identifier ident);
Labels are in a separate scope, one per function.
final int getLevel(ref const Loc loc, Scope* sc, FuncDeclaration fd);
Determine lexical level difference from 'this' to nested function 'fd'. Error if this cannot call fd.
Returns:

final const(char)* toFullSignature();
for diagnostics, e.g. 'int foo(int x, int y) pure'
final bool isAbstract();

final bool canInferAttributes(Scope* sc);
Decide if attributes for this function can be inferred from examining the function body.
Returns:
true if can
final void initInferAttributes();
Initialize for inferring the attributes of this function.
final bool setImpure();
The function is doing something impure, so mark it as impure. If there's a purity error, return true.
final bool setUnsafe();
The function is doing something unsave, so mark it as unsafe. If there's a safe error, return true.
final bool setGC();
The function is doing something that may allocate with the GC, so mark it as not nogc (not no-how).
Returns:
true if function is marked as @nogc, meaning a user error occurred
final bool isReturnIsolated();
See if pointers from function parameters, mutable globals, or uplevel functions could leak into return value.
Returns:
true if the function return value is isolated from any inputs to the function
final bool isTypeIsolated(Type t);
See if pointers from function parameters, mutable globals, or uplevel functions could leak into type t.
Parameters:
Type t type to check if it is isolated
Returns:
true if t is isolated from any inputs to the function
const bool isNested();
Determine if function needs a static frame pointer.
Returns:
true if function is really nested within other function.

Contracts If isNested() returns true, isThis() should return false.

inout inout(AggregateDeclaration) isThis();
Determine if function is a non-static member function that has an implicit 'this' expression.
Returns:
The aggregate it is a member of, or null.

Contracts If isThis() returns true, isNested() should return false.

final FuncDeclaration isUnique();
If there are no overloads of function f, return that function, otherwise return NULL.
final bool checkNestedReference(Scope* sc, ref const Loc loc);
In the current function, we are calling 'this' function. 1. Check to see if the current function can call 'this' function, issue error if not. 2. If the current function is not the parent of 'this' function, then add the current function to the list of siblings of 'this' function. 3. If the current function is a literal, and it's accessing an uplevel scope, then mark it as a delegate. Returns true if error occurs.
final bool needsClosure();
Look at all the variables in this function that are referenced by nested functions, and determine if a closure needs to be created for them.
final bool checkClosure();
Check that the function contains any closure. If it's @nogc, report suitable errors. This is mostly consistent with FuncDeclaration::needsClosure().
Returns:
true if any errors occur.
final bool hasNestedFrameRefs();
Determine if function's variables are referenced by a function nested within it.
final void buildResultVar(Scope* sc, Type tret);
Declare result variable lazily.
final Statement mergeFrequire(Statement sf);

static bool needsFensure(FuncDeclaration fd);
Determine whether an 'out' contract is declared inside the given function or any of its overrides.
Parameters:
FuncDeclaration fd the function to search
Returns:
true found an 'out' contract
final void buildEnsureRequire();
Rewrite contracts as nested functions, then call them. Doing it as nested functions means that overriding functions can call them.
final Statement mergeFensure(Statement sf, Identifier oid);
Merge into this function the 'out' contracts of all it overrides. 'out's are AND'd together, i.e. all of them need to pass.
final Parameters* getParameters(int* pvarargs);

Returns:
void expression that calls the invariant
int overloadApply(Dsymbol fstart, scope int delegate(Dsymbol) dg, Scope* sc = null);

Parameters:
Dsymbol fstart symbol to start from
int delegate(Dsymbol) dg the delegate to be called on the overload
Scope* sc the initial scope from the calling context
Returns:
==0 continue !=0 done
auto MODMatchToBuffer(OutBuffer* buf, ubyte lhsMod, ubyte rhsMod);
Checks for mismatching modifiers between lhsMod and rhsMod and prints the mismatching modifiers to buf.
The modifiers of the lhsMod mismatching the ones with the rhsMod are printed, i.e. lhs(shared) vs. rhs() prints "shared", wheras lhs() vs rhs(shared) prints "non-shared".
Parameters:
OutBuffer* buf output buffer to write to
ubyte lhsMod modifier on the left-hand side
ubyte lhsMod modifier on the right-hand side
Returns:
A tuple with isMutable and isNotShared set if the lhsMod is missing those modifiers (compared to rhs).
Examples:
OutBuffer buf;
auto mismatches = MODMatchToBuffer(&buf, MODFlags.shared_, 0);
assert(buf.peekSlice == "`shared` ");
assert(!mismatches.isNotShared);

buf.reset;
mismatches = MODMatchToBuffer(&buf, 0, MODFlags.shared_);
assert(buf.peekSlice == "non-shared ");
assert(mismatches.isNotShared);

buf.reset;
mismatches = MODMatchToBuffer(&buf, MODFlags.const_, 0);
assert(buf.peekSlice == "`const` ");
assert(!mismatches.isMutable);

buf.reset;
mismatches = MODMatchToBuffer(&buf, 0, MODFlags.const_);
assert(buf.peekSlice == "mutable ");
assert(mismatches.isMutable);
FuncDeclaration resolveFuncCall(ref const Loc loc, Scope* sc, Dsymbol s, Objects* tiargs, Type tthis, Expressions* fargs, int flags = 0);

Parameters:
Loc loc instantiation location
Scope* sc instantiation scope
Dsymbol s instantiation symbol
Objects* tiargs initial list of template arguments
Type tthis if !NULL, the this argument type
Expressions* fargs arguments to function
int flags 1: do not issue error message on no match, just return NULL 2: overloadResolve only
Returns:
if match is found, then function symbol, else null
Type getIndirection(Type t);
Returns an indirect type one step from t.
class FuncAliasDeclaration: dmd.func.FuncDeclaration;
Used as a way to import a set of functions from another scope into this one.
class FuncLiteralDeclaration: dmd.func.FuncDeclaration;
void modifyReturns(Scope* sc, Type tret);
Modify all expression type of return statements to tret.
On function literals, return type may be modified based on the context type after its semantic3 is done, in FuncExp::implicitCastTo.
A function() dg = (){ return new B(); } // OK if is(B : A) == true
If B to A conversion is convariant that requires offseet adjusting, all return statements should be adjusted to return expressions typed A.
