This commit removes SSA nodes from the data flow graph. Specifically, for a definition and use such as ```python x = expr y = x + 2 ``` we used to have flow from `expr` to an SSA variable representing x and from that SSA variable to the use of `x` in the definition of `y`. Now we instead have flow from `expr` to the control flow node for `x` at line 1 and from there to the control flow node for `x` at line 2. Specific changes: - `EssaNode` from the data flow layer no longer exists. - Several glue steps between `EssaNode`s and `CfgNode`s have been deleted. - Entry nodes are now admitted as `CfgNodes` in the data flow layer (they were filtered out before). - Entry nodes now have a new `toString` taking into account that the module name may be ambigous. - Some tests have been rewritten to accomodate the changes, but only `python/ql/test/experimental/dataflow/basic/maximalFlowsConfig.qll` should have semantic changes. - Comments have been updated - Test output has been updated, but apart from `python/ql/test/experimental/dataflow/basic/maximalFlows.expected` only `python/ql/test/experimental/dataflow/typetracking-summaries/summaries.py` should have a semantic change. This is a bonus fix, probably meaning that something was never connected up correctly.
CodeQL
This open source repository contains the standard CodeQL libraries and queries that power GitHub Advanced Security and the other application security products that GitHub makes available to its customers worldwide.
How do I learn CodeQL and run queries?
There is extensive documentation on getting started with writing CodeQL using the CodeQL extension for Visual Studio Code and the CodeQL CLI.
Contributing
We welcome contributions to our standard library and standard checks. Do you have an idea for a new check, or how to improve an existing query? Then please go ahead and open a pull request! Before you do, though, please take the time to read our contributing guidelines. You can also consult our style guides to learn how to format your code for consistency and clarity, how to write query metadata, and how to write query help documentation for your query.
