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.

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 bool setGC();
The function is doing something that may allocate with the GC, so mark it as not nogc (not no-how).

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, unless the function needs a dual-context pointer.

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 Both isThis() and isNested() should return true if function needs a dual-context pointer, otherwise if isThis() returns true, isNested() should return false.

final bool isUnique();
Returns:
true if there are no overloads of this function
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.

Parameters:

Returns:
true found an 'out' contract
final void buildEnsureRequire();

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 context used to check if symbol is accessible (and therefore visible), can be null
Returns:
==0 continue !=0 done (and the return value from the last dg() call)
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);

Parameters:
Loc loc instantiation location

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.
