Intermediate interfaces don't need interface forwarders, since the Kotlin compiler won't try to make them non-abstract by synthesising methods.
Super references should always target an immediate superclass, not the ancestor containing the intended implementation.
Rather than using lock files and rewriting TRAP file, and storing the
metadata in a .metadata file, we now encode the metadata in the filename
and rename all but the newest TRAP file so that the importer doesn't
see them.
So we might end up with e.g.
Text.members#0.0-1664381081060-java.trap.gz
Text.members#55.0-1658481279000-java.trap-old.gz
Text.members#55.0-1664381081060-java.trap-old.gz
For now, you can go back to the old system by setting
CODEQL_EXTRACTOR_JAVA_TRAP_LOCKING=true
in the environment.
If the interface is Java-defined and it provides a default interface implementation then real class-file default methods are being used and kotlinc won't synthesise anything. If the loaded .class file wasn't made by Kotlin, then we see all the real methods and there is no need to synthesise anything either.
Kotlin's implementation of defaults depends on the -Xjvm-default setting (or the @JvmDefault deprecated annotation, not implemented here): by default, actual interface class files don't use default method, and any class that would inherit one instead implements the interface calling a static method defined on TheInterface$DefaultImpls. With
-Xjvm-default=all or =all-compatibility, real interface default methods are emitted, with the latter retaining the DefaultImpls methods so that other Kotlin can use it.
Here I adopt a hybrid solution: create a real default method implementation, but also emit a forwarding method like `@override int f(int x) { return super.TheInterface.f(x); }`, because the Java extractor will see `MyClass.f` in the emitted class file and try to dispatch directly to it. The only downside is that we emit a default interface
method body for a prototype that will appear to be `abstract` to the Java extractor and which it will extract as such. I work around this by tolerating the combination `default abstract` in QL. The alternative would be to fully mimic the DefaultImpls approach, giving 100% fidelity to kotlinc's strategy and therefore no clash with the Java
extractor's view of the world.
