In my init.el file, I use the package general and the following line
(general-create-definer foo/leader-keys
and then later
(foo/leader-keys
I use the package flycheck to lint the code in the init-file and on that second line it gives me the warning
the function foo/leader-keys is not known to be defined
I would like to ask how to get rid of this warning, by either modifying the code in the init-file or customizing flycheck's linter, or some other reasonable way.
Okay, after some research, if using use-package when specifying the above settings it is possible to use the keywords :define, functions, and :commands. (More info here.) Quoting from use-package documentation
Another feature of use-package is that it always loads every file that it can when .emacs is being byte-compiled. This helps to silence spurious warnings about unknown variables and functions.
However, there are times when this is just not enough. For those times, use the :defines and :functions keywords to introduce dummy variable and function declarations solely for the sake of the byte-compiler.
