Potentially breaking changes

  • A number of internal command line options (--builtin_functions_file, --clang_builtin_functions,
    --disable-objc-default-synthesize-properties, --list_builtin_functions, --memory-limit-bytes,
    --mimic_config, and --objc) has been removed from the C/C++ extractor. The --verbosity
    command line option has also been removed. The option was an alias for --codeql-verbosity,
    which should be used instead.

Improvements

  • The frontend of the C/C++ extractor has been updated, improving the
    extractor's reliability and increasing its ability to extract source code.

Bugs fixed

  • When parsing user-authored YAML files such as codeql-pack.yml,
    qlpack.yml, codeql-workspace.yml, and any YAML file defining a data
    extension, unquoted string values starting with a * character are now
    correctly interpreted as YAML aliases. Previously, they were interpreted
    as strings, but with the first character skipped.
