> **Description** 
> Currently, if we miss the @**Reflect** annotation on methods called from kernel functions, no method is generated for them in the corresponding backend. This causes an error like:
> 
> `> error: implicit declaration of function 'squareitWithoutReflectAnnotation' is invalid...
> `
> **Solution** 
> - Throw error if Reflect annotation is missing on all methods called from the kernel function  that are defined in the same class as the kernel function. 
> 
> **Test** 
>   -  A new test is added at **hat.test.TestMissingReflectAnnotation#testTransitiveMethodFromKernelWithoutReflectAnnotation**
