Au3Check bugs on function reference when function takes byref parameter

[jchd18]

Code to trigger the issue:

Local $f = function
Local $s = 'xxx'
$f($s)

; function declaration needs to be after function reference assignment for the bug to occur
Func function(ByRef $title)
	MsgBox(0, $title, 'function invoked')
EndFunc

Au3Check gets confused and raises an error:

Non-beta version 3.3.10.2 behaves identically.

Not a bug, syntax error.

Use:

Local $s = 'xxx'
function($s)

Func function(ByRef $title)
	MsgBox(0, $title, 'function invoked')
EndFunc

It's a bug! Now functions are first class objects.

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Run_Au3Check=N ; Au3Check displays an error.

; 1st approach.
Local $sString = ''
Local $hFunc = ByRefFunc
$hFunc($sString) ; The variable is passed as a reference and not a value.
$hFunc($sString)
$hFunc($sString)
ConsoleWrite($sString & @CRLF)

; 2nd approach.
$sString = ''
ByRefFuncCall($sString, ByRefFunc)

Func ByRefFunc(ByRef $sVal) ; Changing to a pass by value and the error disappears.
	$sVal &= '__'
	Return True
EndFunc   ;==>ByRefFunc

Func ByRefFuncCall($sVal, $hFunc)
	$hFunc($sVal)
	$hFunc($sVal)
	$hFunc($sVal)
	ConsoleWrite($sVal & @CRLF)
EndFunc   ;==>ByRefFuncCall

If You declare the function before no error ...

I made a note of that in my first post. I look at that solution as a temporary workaround.

Darn. A version mismatch. That sucks.
O well, its better than nothing I guess.
