Dataflow requires accounting for the fact that the varargs parameter isn't necessarily last in the parameter list in a couple more places. Default handling just requires that if the only null parameter is the varargs argument, and it has no default value, then no $default method is required-- the caller is expected to simply pass nothing (at QL
/ source level) or an empty array (at JVM level).
Kotlin's implementation of defaults depends on the -Xjvm-default setting (or the @JvmDefault deprecated annotation, not implemented here): by default, actual interface class files don't use default method, and any class that would inherit one instead implements the interface calling a static method defined on TheInterface$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.
I opt to identify any syntactic initializer. These are broader in scope than Java's member initializers, which are necessarily context-free, whereas in Kotlin the primary constructor's parameters can be referred to.
