To fix the problem, we need to rename the local variable loc in the Emit method to avoid shadowing the member variable loc. This will make the code clearer and prevent any potential confusion or bugs related to variable shadowing.
- In general terms, we should rename the local variable to something unique that does not conflict with any member variables.
- Specifically, we will rename the local variable
locin theEmitmethod tolocation. - This change will be made in the file
csharp/extractor/Semmle.Extraction.CSharp/Entities/TypeMention.cson line 121. - No additional methods, imports, or definitions are needed to implement this change.

To fix the problem, we need to rename the local variable type in the Emit method to avoid shadowing the member variable type. This can be done by choosing a different name for the local variable that clearly distinguishes it from the member variable. We will update the method signature and all references to the local variable within the method.

Potential fix for https://github.com/krishnprakash/codeql/security/code-scanning/13
To fix the problem, we need to rename the local variable
parentin theEmitmethod to avoid shadowing the member variableparent. This will make the code clearer and prevent any potential confusion or bugs related to variable shadowing.parentin theEmitmethod to a different name, such aslocalParent.Emitmethod to use the new name.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
