The comment extractor has two implementations selected at runtime: the PSI-based `CommentExtractorPSI` (used when the IR is built from PSI, i.e. the K1 frontend) and `CommentExtractorLighterAST` (used under the K2/FIR frontend, where no PSI is available and comments are recovered from the FIR lighter AST). The PSI extractor writes a row per KDoc section (`comment.getAllSections()`: the default section plus `@property`, `@constructor`, ... tag sections), but the lighter-AST extractor did not, because the KDOC node in the FIR lighter AST is a leaf: its section/tag structure is never expanded there. As a result, `ktCommentSections`, `ktCommentSectionNames` and `ktCommentSectionSubjectNames` were entirely absent under K2, producing a large divergence from the K1 output. KDoc section structure can only be recovered by parsing the KDoc text into real PSI, which needs a `Project`. The compiler passes one to the component registrar's `registerProjectComponents`, so we capture it there into `KDocProjectHolder` (a process-global; a weak reference guarded by `isDisposed` avoids keeping a disposed project alive). The lighter-AST extractor then re-parses each KDoc's text with `KtPsiFactory` and reads `getAllSections()`, writing exactly the same rows as the PSI extractor. Because both paths delegate to the same compiler KDoc parser, the section content, names and subject names are reproduced identically. Trade-offs: - A process-global project holder is used rather than threading the project through the extension/extractor constructors, which would touch a lot of unrelated wiring. Each CodeQL extraction is a single compiler invocation, so one project per process is a safe assumption; the weak reference and `isDisposed` check bound the lifetime risk. - The re-parse forces the KDoc text into a doc-comment position via a throwaway trailing declaration. A KDoc is only recognised as a doc comment when it precedes a declaration; the appended declaration is inert and does not affect section parsing. - Section output is byte-identical between K1 (2.3.20) and K2 (2.4.0) today because both use the compiler's own KDoc parser. This is a version-coupled compatibility shim rather than a guaranteed invariant; the shared test suite will catch any future drift. Only the K2 expectations gain rows; the K1 output is unchanged. The `test-kotlin2` comment section relations now match `test-kotlin1` byte-for-byte, except for the line-1 KDoc whose source text still differs between the two suites (addressed separately).

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 about the CodeQL language, writing CodeQL using the CodeQL extension for Visual Studio Code and using 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.
License

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.
