In Go, log := log.G(ctx) now links log.G to the project package's function and the later log.Errorf to the method of the logger it returns. Before, both stayed unresolved.

Two causes, both in the native resolver:

  • A local's scope covers its whole block, so on its own := line the new local hid the imported package. The right of a := now sees what the name meant before the line (innermost_binding_unless, used for receiver lookup, the shadowed-import check and the factory-call lookup).
  • The standard-library drop (log.…, context.…) ignored where the import came from. It now keeps a reference when the file imports that name from inside the module, so a direct log.G(ctx) into a project package named log links too.

The earlier attempt shifted the lookup line by one, which stayed inside the local's scope and fixed nothing; this replaces it.

The it.fails test for this gap is now an ordinary test (log.G on the declaration line, log.Errorf after it, a direct log.G in another function, logger, log := log.G(ctx), 0, and a second statement after a ; on the declaring line). Each assertion fails without the change that covers it.

The shadow exception applies to every name a := line declares, and only to a reference on the right side before the next ;. A declaration whose right side starts on a later line (log := then log.G(ctx) on the next line) still links nothing, as before; the binding rows carry no statement extent.

Checks:

  • Full suite (rerun after each review fix): 690 files, 8798 passed, 39 skipped, 0 failed.
  • Golden dumps: no change, so no re-baseline.
  • Precision gate on gin (the only Go corpus on this host): 3 of 3 held.
  • gin before and after: 8202 edges, 3569 call edges, none gained or lost. The change only shows where a project package shares a standard-library name, which gin has none of. harbor-style code is covered by the fixture, not measured on a real corpus.

README rows checked: the Go resolution paragraph under About this fork (one sentence extended); no quoted number moves. CHANGELOG entry added under Unreleased Fixes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Go references to project packages now resolve correctly when a local variable with the same name is declared on the same line.
    • Calls to project packages named after standard-library packages now resolve to the project package, including methods on returned values.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified how local variables and project packages interact with imports during Go reference resolution.

…ckage

A Go local declared as `log := log.G(ctx)` took the name of the imported
project package from its own line, so `log.G` and the later `log.Errorf`
both stayed unresolved. A project package named like a standard-library
one (`log`, `context`) was also taken for the standard library even with
nothing shadowing it.

On the right of a `:=` the name now means what it meant before the line,
and an import that resolves inside the module is no longer dropped as a
standard-library call.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Go name resolution now handles package calls on the right-hand side of a short declaration without treating the new local as an existing shadow. It also checks imported package directories when classifying standard-library-name references and resolves factory-returned receiver types.

Changes

Go name resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Package and same-line binding lookup
codegraph-kernel/src/resolve/prefilter.rs, codegraph-kernel/src/resolve/member_fn_ref.rs
The prefilter checks for an imported package directory before classifying a Go reference as built-in or external. Binding lookup can skip a same-line local. Import-shadow checks account for whether a reference occurs on the right-hand side or after the declaration operator in a short declaration.
Factory receiver resolution and coverage
codegraph-kernel/src/resolve/bound.rs, __tests__/go-stdlib-named-locals.test.ts, README.md, CHANGELOG.md
Factory receiver inference excludes a local introduced by the same short declaration when looking up the factory root. Tests check package calls in initializers, methods on returned types, and package calls in Handle and Pair. The README and changelog describe the resolution behavior.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 380d5

Go calls in a narrow same-line redeclaration case can resolve to the wrong symbol. The change is mergeable with this limitation understood or corrected.

is_shadowed_import to limit the short-declaration exception to references on the
right-hand side before the declaration statement ends, using the reference’s
start-column position rather than its line alone. Preserve normal local-binding
resolution for later same-line references such as log.Errorf.

…ts right

A factory call whose package name is declared beside the receiver, as in
`logger, log := log.G(ctx), 0`, looked the package up as the new local
and linked nothing. The lookup now passes over a local declared on that
line for any name on the left, not only the receiver.
…ight side

A call after a `;` on the declaring line, as in `log := log.G(ctx); log.Errorf(x)`,
is a later statement and sees the new local, not the package. The check now
reads the call's column and the statement's end, and the factory lookup passes
the factory call's own column.

- Line 1435: Update the binding lookup at the `names.iter().any` check to
exclude only the local introduced by the current `:=` declaration. Preserve
earlier same-line bindings when resolving factory expressions, so
`innermost_binding_unless` can select the prior `log` binding instead of falling
back to an imported package.
