Function usage before its declaration

What happened?

You called a function or used its name before the function was declared.

Why is that bad?

It makes the code more difficult to read and may cause confusion.

Note that the function is made available before its declaration due to hoisting.

Example

import QtQuick

Item {
    function f() {
        g(42)
        function g() { return 42; }
    }
}

To fix this warning, move the declaration before the usage.

import QtQuick

Item {
    function f() {
        function g() { return 42; }
        g(42)
    }
}
