As discussed with @hvitved offline. This helps out to ensrue we don't
needlessly evaluate dataflow for configurations that are not needed
anyway. That is, if other library modeling also used the same dataflow
configuration, which ends up being used in query A, then dataflow for
all the `DataFlowImplForLibraries` configurations would be computeted at
once. When we get to evaluate the query `RequestWithoutValidation.ql`
these results mgith have been forgotten since the predicates are not
cached, and everything will have to be computeted again.
In principle we could be added a dataflow copy for each framework.
However, since we know that the `disablesCertificateValidation`
member-predicates for all the HTTP client libraries will all be used at
the same time, and only for the one query, we only add ONE additional
copy.
Note that the only use of `DataFlowImplForLibraries` before this PR is
using `tainttrackingforlibraries.TaintTrackingImpl` (based on
DataFlowImplForLibraries) for regex computation.
c904ba1d16/ruby/ql/lib/codeql/ruby/Regexp.qll (L153)
Since this is currently transitively imported from Frameworks.qll
(through Core.qll, and core/String.qll), the previous approach didn't
actually violate the assumption about all configurations always being in
scope, but it might have been more by accident, than by purpose.
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. You can use the CodeQL for Visual Studio Code extension or the interactive query console on LGTM.com (Semmle Legacy product) to try out your queries on any open source project that's currently being analyzed.
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.
License
The code in this repository is licensed under the MIT License by GitHub.
The CodeQL CLI (including the CodeQL engine) is hosted in a different repository and is licensed separately. If you'd like to use the CodeQL CLI to analyze closed-source code, you will need a separate commercial license; please contact us for further help.
Visual Studio Code integration
If you use Visual Studio Code to work in this repository, there are a few integration features to make development easier.
CodeQL for Visual Studio Code
You can install the CodeQL for Visual Studio Code extension to get syntax highlighting, IntelliSense, and code navigation for the QL language, as well as unit test support for testing CodeQL libraries and queries.
Tasks
The .vscode/tasks.json file defines custom tasks specific to working in this repository. To invoke one of these tasks, select the Terminal | Run Task... menu option, and then select the desired task from the dropdown. You can also invoke the Tasks: Run Task command from the command palette.
