This required a bit of an overhaul of the original integration of
JSON diagnostics into binlog.
The problem is that it is quite hard to add a kind of metadata to
binlog entries without changing its code. Another problem is that when
wanting to avoid double evaluation of logging macro arguments one
cannot really add a separate "diagnose" step easily.
The proposed solution consists in two things:
* hook into a binlog plumbing function by providing a better overload
resolution match, which happens after logging macro expansion,
bypassing the problem of double evaluation
* in that hook, produce the diagnostic directly, without waiting to
reconstruct the diagnostics entry from the binlog serialized entry.
This allows to forgo the weird category to diagnostic mapping, and now a
diagnostics emission simply happens when a diagnostic source is given
as the first argument after the log format string. A flavour of
diganostics sources with locations is then added with the same
mechanism, allowing to write something like
```cpp
LOG_ERROR("[{}] ouch!", internalError.withLocation("foo.swift", 32));
```
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.
For information on contributing to CodeQL documentation, see the "contributing guide" for docs.
