Hello, what's the differences between visitFunction, visitFunctionNew, visitSimpleFunction and visitFunctionAccess?

[Tóth István Zoltán]

What I typically do is to check the code of IrElementTransformerVoidWithContext to see what they do.

visitSimpleFunction it restricts the function type you visit to IrSimpleFunction, it calls visitFunction if not overridden so it is almost the same as visitFunction but leaves out non-simple functions such as constructors

visitFunctionAccess is for function calls, not function definitions, like IrCall, IrConstructorCall etc. If you check - for example - visitConstructorCall you'll see that it goes to visitFunctionAccess

The visitFunction override adds the scope handling while visitFunctionNew calls the super method without the scope handling.

Hope this helps.
