<unary> in both frontends
A prefix/postfix increment or decrement (`x++`, `--x`, ...) is desugared into a block holding an induction temporary. The two frontends name that temporary differently: - K1 uses a per-scope counter, `tmp0`, `tmp1`, ... `tmpN`. - K2 uses the uniform special name `<unary>`. Decision: adopt the K2 name (`<unary>`) from both frontends. This is the only robust convergence direction: K1's counter-based `tmpN` numbering depends on the frontend's temporary allocation order and cannot be reproduced faithfully under K2 (mapping `<unary>` back to a single `tmp0` would wrongly collapse distinct temporaries such as `tmp0`..`tmp7` in one function). The uniform `<unary>` name is frontend-independent and identifies the construct just as well. (This supersedes the earlier D14 preference for the readable `tmpN` names, which was made before the numbering infeasibility was established.) Implementation: `extractBlock` recognises an `IrContainerExpression` whose origin is one of PREFIX_INCR / PREFIX_DECR / POSTFIX_INCR / POSTFIX_DECR and records its first statement (the induction temporary) together with the canonical name `<unary>`. `extractVariableExpr` emits that name for exactly that variable (matched by identity), leaving all other locals untouched. The recording is saved/restored around the block's statement extraction so nested blocks behave correctly. The detection is origin-based and therefore identical for K1 and K2. Full dual-suite relearn: all 3333 tests pass. The only changed rows are in test-kotlin1 (exprs/exprs, exprs/PrintAst, controlflow/basic/bbStmts and getASuccessor), where the K1 increment temporaries converge from `tmpN` to `<unary>`, matching K2. Remaining exprs.kt differences (unary-operand span, and the delegatedProperties `<set-?>`/`<get-x>` cluster) are separate location/naming items tracked elsewhere. The destructuring container temp (`tmp0_container` vs `<destruct>`) is handled separately in C14b. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
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.

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.
