Call of a function that does not exist

Built from the repository at commit a8614dc.

A call must name a function of the program, a class, a prelude function (print, eprint, panic, read_line), or a conversion i64(...), u8(...), f64(...), char(...) or string(...).

When a function, class, prelude function or conversion has a similar name, or another language's name for one, such as readln or input, the error offers it as an unsafe fix. The unsafe fix may be wrong: the name could be a function that was never written.

Why

Sisu does not resolve a misspelled function name on its own. A misspelled name, or a function that was never written, would otherwise run some other code or none.

Broken

fn total(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 {
    a + b
}

fn main() {
    print(sum(1, 2))
}

What sisu says

error[E0052]: cannot find function `sum`
 --> E0052.sisu:6:11
  |
6 |     print(sum(1, 2))
  |           ^^^

sisu: 1 error
sisu: for more on a code, run `sisu explain <code>`: E0052

Fixed

fn total(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 {
    a + b
}

fn main() {
    print(total(1, 2))
}
