To fix the problem, we should rename the local variable loc in the Emit method to avoid shadowing the member variable loc. This will make the code clearer and reduce the risk of confusion or bugs. The best way to do this is to choose a descriptive name for the local variable that reflects its purpose within the method.

To fix the problem, we need to rename the local variable parent in the Emit method to avoid shadowing the member variable parent. This will make the code clearer and prevent any potential confusion or bugs related to variable shadowing. The best way to fix this is to choose a new name for the local variable that clearly indicates its purpose and does not conflict with any member variables.
In this case, we can rename the local variable parent to localParent in the Emit method. This change will be made in the file csharp/extractor/Semmle.Extraction.CSharp/Entities/TypeMention.cs on line 121 and any other lines within the Emit method where the local variable is used.

Potential fix for https://github.com/krishnprakash/codeql/security/code-scanning/14
To fix the problem, we need to rename the local variable
typein theEmitmethod to avoid shadowing the member variabletype. This will make the code clearer and reduce the risk of errors. The best way to do this is to choose a new name for the local variable that accurately describes its purpose and does not conflict with any existing member variables.In this case, we can rename the local variable
typetolocalTypein theEmitmethod. This change will be made in the filecsharp/extractor/Semmle.Extraction.CSharp/Entities/TypeMention.cson line 121.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
