Owen Mansel-Chan 59908124c1 Add test showing limits of DeferStmt in CFG
There are paths to the exit of the function which go through the defer
statement and paths which don't, so we add an optional call to the
deferred function. This causes FPs in the query as it stands.

Go analysis support for CodeQL

This sub-folder contains the extractor, CodeQL libraries, and queries that power Go support for CodeQL.

It contains two major components:

  • an extractor, itself written in Go, that parses Go source code and converts it into a database that can be queried using CodeQL.
  • static analysis libraries and queries written in CodeQL that can be used to analyze such a database to find coding mistakes or security vulnerabilities.

Usage

To analyze a Go codebase, either use the CodeQL command-line interface to create a database yourself, or download a pre-built database from GitHub.com. You can then run any of the queries contained in this repository either on the command line or using the VS Code extension.
