Summary

Fixes #18719.

  • In module mode, function declarations are lexically scoped (part of LexicallyDeclaredNames), so function a() {} var a = '' is a redeclaration error per the ECMAScript spec
  • The checker was only reporting the error when the var appeared before the function (var a = ''; function a() {}) but not the other way around, due to AST visit ordering
  • check_variable_declarator_redeclaration unconditionally skipped the check at Top | Function scopes — now it falls through to the redeclaration check when in module mode at the top scope

Pull request overview

This PR fixes issue #18719 where function a() {} var a = '' was not reporting a redeclaration error in module mode, despite being invalid according to the ECMAScript specification. In module mode, function declarations are part of LexicallyDeclaredNames, making them incompatible with var declarations of the same name.

Changes:

  • Modified check_variable_declarator_redeclaration to properly handle module mode at the top scope by allowing the redeclaration check to proceed instead of returning early
  • Added test cases to verify that both orderings (function a() {} var a and var a; function a() {}) correctly report redeclaration errors in module mode

… in module mode (#19041)

## Summary

Fixes #18719.

- In module mode, function declarations are lexically scoped (part of `LexicallyDeclaredNames`), so `function a() {} var a = ''` is a redeclaration error per the ECMAScript spec
- The checker was only reporting the error when the `var` appeared **before** the function (`var a = ''; function a() {}`) but not the other way around, due to AST visit ordering
- `check_variable_declarator_redeclaration` unconditionally skipped the check at `Top | Function` scopes — now it falls through to the redeclaration check when in module mode at the top scope
