Function Definition : false positives [25.09.r5812]

[meteorquake]

In JS, items of the following form -

(new A).a()

(new A).a().b().c() ...

return a().b();

In the first 2 cause a,b,c... to be highlighted as function definitions when they are function references
In the third causes b to

d

Fixed by commit 2751a95, please test latest builds from https://github.com/zufuliu/notepad4/actions.

Cheers! I see on my current version it is also caused by

a b()

e.g. else b();

d

[zufuliu]

else b() is fixed by commit 7432a73. a b() is unlikely to cause other false-positive?

[meteorquake]

a b() is a general problem so (asking Gemini for clues) presumably we might also get -

yield a().b();
await a();
await a().b();

interestingly the keywords differ in their results so that "yield a()" isn't an issue but "await a()" is.
and maybe future keywords could get added...

[zufuliu]

await a() is fixed by 7432a73. due to automatic semicolon insertion, here may have other false positives?

That's all my thoughts so far - I'll add an extra comment if further possibilities come to my attention!
