Phase 2 progress — shared CFG library fully instantiated with IR support:
ControlFlowGraphShared.qll (1290 lines) now contains:
additionalNode entries for all 30+ synthetic IR operations:
Assignment writes (assign:i), compound RHS (compound-rhs), tuple extraction (extract:i)
Zero initialization (zero-init:i), increment/decrement (implicit-one, incdec-rhs)
Return (return), result write/read (result-write:i, result-read:i)
Function prologue (param-init:i, arg:i, result-init:i, result-zero-init:i)
Range next (next), send (send), implicit deref (implicit-deref)
Slice bounds (implicit-low/high/max), case checks (case-check:i)
Type switch variables (type-switch-var), literal init (lit-init, lit-index)
Implicit field selection (implicit-field:i)
step routing for all constructs needing custom flow:
Assignments (with epilogue node sequencing for extract/assign chains)
Increment/decrement (operand → implicit-one → incdec-rhs → In)
Return statements (expressions → extract → result-write → return)
Index/slice/selector expressions (with implicit deref insertion)
Composite literals (pre-order: allocation first, then element init)
Send statements (channel → value → send)
Plus the existing: if-with-init, for/range loops, switch/select, defer, go
What remains for full migration (making shared types primary):
Rewrite ControlFlowGraph.qll: change ControlFlow::Node from TControlFlowNode to GoCfg::ControlFlowNode
Rewrite IR.qll (1598 lines): map all 30+ IR instruction classes to shared CFG nodes via getAstNode()/getIdTag() instead of Mk* types
Update BasicBlocks.qll to use shared library's built-in BasicBlock
Update ~30 downstream files (SSA, DataFlow, security queries) that reference IR::Instruction/ControlFlow::Node
Add function prologue/epilogue step routing (param init, result init, defer LIFO at exit)
Remove ControlFlowGraphImpl.qll
This remaining work is a substantial rewrite (3000+ lines across 35+ files) that would benefit from being done incrementally with test validation at each step. Shall I continue with the IR.qll rewrite next?
Created ControlFlowGraphShared.qll — contains the full GoCfg module with:
Ast module implementing AstSig<Location> — maps Go's AST types to the shared interface, with empty types for constructs Go doesn't have (while/do/try/catch/throw/ternary/null-coalescing)
Input module implementing InputSig1 + InputSig2 — labels, conditional contexts, custom step() predicates for if-with-init, for/range loops, expression/type switches, case clauses, select, defer, and go statements; abrupt completions for panics, fallthrough, and goto
Make0/Make1/Make2 wiring and import Public
Modified ControlFlowGraph.qll — added import of the shared library and re-exports it as module SharedCfg = GoCfg, making shared types accessible as SharedCfg::ControlFlowNode, SharedCfg::ControlFlow::EntryNode, SharedCfg::BasicBlock, etc.
No breakage — all 90 src queries and library files compile cleanly.
Read ControlFlowGraphShared.qll, lines 1 to 50
The file compiles successfully. Here's a summary of what was implemented:
ControlFlowGraphShared.qll — Shared CFG library instantiation for Go, wrapped in the GoCfg module to coexist with the existing CFG during transition. Key design decisions:
Ast module (implements AstSig):
Callable = FuncDef with a body
IfStmt — only For if-statements without init (those with init use custom steps)
LoopStmt — uses characteristic predicate pattern (not direct extension) to avoid return type conflicts with BlockStmt
Empty classes for: WhileStmt, DoStmt, ForStmt, ForeachStmt, ThrowStmt, TryStmt, CatchClause, Switch, Case, ConditionalExpr, NullCoalescingExpr (Go doesn't have these constructs)
LogicalAndExpr = LandExpr, LogicalOrExpr = LorExpr, LogicalNotExpr = NotExpr
BooleanLiteral maps to true/false identifiers
skipCfg filters out type expressions, non-rvalue references, parenthesized expressions, etc.
Input module (implements InputSig1 + InputSig2):
Labels: Go statement labels + fallthrough
Custom steps for: if-with-init, for loops, range loops, expression/type switch, case clauses, select statements, defer, go statements
Abrupt completions: panic via calls/div/deref/type-assert/index/conversion, fallthrough, goto
End abrupt completions: labeled statements catch breaks, goto targets
Remaining work (todos 4-6): The GoCfg module is self-contained and doesn't yet replace the existing CFG. Integration with BasicBlocks.qll, IR.qll, and the public ControlFlowGraph.qll API is the next phase — which is a larger effort requiring updates to DataFlow and all downstream consumers.
Same pattern we've seen many times before: a field on an anonymous node
gets attached to the parent node instead.
I'm not 100% sure this is the right solution, but it seemed wrong to
just make `_parenthesized_type` named instead (we don't usually name
parentheticals). At the very least, this cleans up the spurious
navigation_expression.element and tuple_type_item.element fields.
Because `_type` was anonymous, its body was inlined in all of the places
it appeared. Because this body contained a `name` field, this field was
_also_ inlined. This caused a bunch of nodes to have spurious `name`
fields, and for some of them (that already had such a field) it caused
that field have multiplicity greater than one.
To fix this, we make the `_type` node named, which prevents the errant
field from escaping.
Adds a new type `nested_type_identifier`, which contains the
choice-branch that previously allowed those tokens to bleed through into
the closest parent field.
You know the drill. We just make an anonymous node named instead. In
this case, however, we have to be a bit more clever about how to rewrite
it. We turn the sequence of a type followed by an optional ! into a
_choice_ between mere type or type followed by bang (the latter being
our new named node).
Supertypes are a honking great idea. We should use more of them.
This massively cleans up the node types, without polluting the AST with
`expression` nodes.
Before, the `condition` field of an if statement supposedly could
contain things like parentheses and commas, due to bleeding from
referenced anonymous nodes. Making the node named makes this issue go
away.
We make _referenceable_operator a named node. This prevents it from
bleeding through to the _expression definition. It likely also makes the
output easier to deal with, as bare operators used as arguments now have
a named node wrapping them in the AST.
Also removes a duplicated inclusion of _comparison_operator that served
no purpose.
This caused any field containing an _expression to appear as if it could
countain any number of such nodes. It also threw away the information
that there was a `?` marker there.
To fix it, we simply move the definition into its own named node.
The astute reader will note that we seem to _lose_ some node types in
the process. Apparently, these were unreachable in the grammar, and the
newer version of tree-sitter removes such "dead code".
Changes based on code review:
1. Remove redundant strings.Contains check in isExactTestPackage
The equality check on the next line handles both cases, making
the early return unnecessary.
2. Extract package selection logic into selectBestPackages function
This reduces code duplication and allows the test to call the
actual implementation rather than copying the logic.
3. Add TestSelectBestPackages to test the new function
Comprehensive test covering single packages, test vs production,
exact vs nested tests, and multiple packages.
