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.

    The function is doing something unsafe, so mark it as unsafe. If there's a safe error, return true.
  final bool `setGC`();

  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`);

  const bool `isNested`();
    Determine if function needs a static frame pointer.
    Returns:

    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.

    true if there are no overloads of this function
  final bool `checkNestedReference`(Scope* `sc`, ref const Loc `loc`);

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

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:

  Examples:

      OutBuffer buf;

      assert(buf[] == "`shared` ");
      assert(!mismatches.isNotShared);

      buf.setsize(0);
      mismatches = MODMatchToBuffer(&buf, 0, MODFlags.shared_);
      assert(buf[] == "non-shared ");
      assert(mismatches.isNotShared);

      buf.setsize(0);
      mismatches = MODMatchToBuffer(&buf, MODFlags.const_, 0);
      assert(buf[] == "`const` ");
      assert(!mismatches.isMutable);

      buf.setsize(0);
      mismatches = MODMatchToBuffer(&buf, 0, MODFlags.const_);
      assert(buf[] == "mutable ");
      assert(mismatches.isMutable);

enum `FuncResolveFlag`: ubyte;

  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
