This commit introduces a missing ContextualASTVisitor to gccrs, which is essential for correctly checking free functions. The addition ensures that the compiler can properly traverse and analyze the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) to identify and validate standalone functions. This resolves an issue related to Rust-GCC/gccrs#3585, improving the compiler’s ability to handle free function declarations.
