We have an operator expression like `x * 5`. We want to follow where the value of the operator expression goes. We used to follow local flow from an operand, but now there is flow from that operand to the next use of the variable. The fix is to explicitly start local flow from the operator expression. There are also some expected edge changes due to use-use flow.
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.
