py/non-iterator-in-for-loop
Should fix #1833, #2137, and #2187. Internally, comprehensions are (at present) elaborated into local functions and iterators as described in [PEP-289](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0289/). That is, something like: ``` g = (x**2 for x in range(10)) ``` becomes something akin to ``` def __gen(exp): for x in exp: yield x**2 g = __gen(iter(range(10))) ``` In the context of the top-level of a class, this means `__gen` looks as if it is a method of the class, and in particular `exp` looks like it's the `self` argument of this method, which leads the points-to analysis to think that `exp` is an instance of the surrounding class itself. The fix in this case is pretty simple: we look for occurrences of `exp` (in fact called `.0` internally -- carefully chosen to _not_ be a valid Python identifier) and explicitly exclude this parameter from being classified as a `self` parameter.
CodeQL
This open source repository contains the standard CodeQL libraries and queries that power LGTM, and the other products that Semmle 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 interactive query console on LGTM.com or the CodeQL for Visual Studio Code extension 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.
