Problem Description: We are trying to migrate a ColdFusion 8.0 site to ColdFusion 11update 5 for a client of ours. One of the errors reported by the Code Analyzer is that "getmetadata" function references in the code must be changed as this is a new function added in ColdFusion 10. But this has been added since ColdFusionMX ( 6.0).
Steps to Reproduce: Create a new file called test.cfm. put a code such as <cfdump var="#getmetaData(CGI)#">. Run this and it will run ok.
Actual Result: Now use the Code Analyzer in Adobe ColdFusion 11 Administrator to analyze this file and it would report an error stating that the getmetadata function is new in ColdFuion10 and the UDF name must be changed to avoid conflict in our legacy code.
Expected Result: No error must occur as it is a inbuild CF function added since version 6.0
Any Workarounds: Just ignore this error and proceed with your upgrade to CF11.
