v0.10.0 miscategorizes uncalled function as unreachable code

[matthewpersico]

For bugs

• Rule Id (if any, e.g. SC1000): SC2329
• My shellcheck version (shellcheck --version or 'online'): online
• I tried on shellcheck.net and verified that this is still a problem on the latest commit
• It's not reproducible on shellcheck.net, but I think that's because it's an OS, configuration or encoding issue

For new checks and feature suggestions

• shellcheck.net (i.e. the latest commit) currently gives no useful warnings about this
• I searched through https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/issues and didn't find anything related

Here's a snippet or screenshot that shows the problem:

#!/bin/bash

main()
{
        echo I am in main
}

subber ()
{
        echo I am in subber
}

main
exit

Here's what shellcheck (https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/releases/tag/v0.10.0) currently says:

In /home/mpersico5/sctest line 10:
        echo I am in subber
        ^-----------------^ SC2317 (info): Command appears to be unreachable. Check usage (or ignore if invoked indirectly).

Here's what I wanted or expected to see:

Line 8	SC2329: This function is never invoked. Check usage (or ignored if invoked indirectly).

Can we get a new release v0.11.0?

I am not sure what the issue really is apart from no recent release. Or that might be the only issue here?

The expected output is seen at shellcheck.net and that system uses the most recent git HEAD - and a new release would then match the expected behavior.

A workaround until a release is available would be to build from source.

I think this issue should be closed.

Yes - can you cut 0.11.0? I'm about to approve a PR to our repo that applies all of your updates as a bazillion [sic] patches. Prefer to grab 0.11.0.

And my apologies for the duplicated issues; not sure how I managed that.
