main_ is_ not_ function
The declaration named 'main' must be a function.
Description
#
The analyzer produces this diagnostic when a library contains a declaration
of the name
main
that isn't the declaration of a top-level function.
Example
#
The following code produces this diagnostic because the name
main
is
being used to declare a top-level variable:
var main = 3;
Common fixes
#Use a different name for the declaration:
var mainIndex = 3;
