In the implementation of my analyzer I am in the AnalyzeSymbol
method:
public override void Initialize(AnalysisContext context)
{
context.RegisterSymbolAction(AnalyzeSymbol, SymbolKind.Method);
}
private static void AnalyzeSymbol(SymbolAnalysisContext context)
{
// here I look through the syntax of the method body in order to find invocations.
var methodSymbol = context.Symbol as IMethodSymbol;
var location = methodSymbol.Locations.FirstOrDefault();
var methodNode = location.SourceTree.GetCompilationUnitRoot().FindNode(location.SourceSpan);
var blockNode = methodNode.ChildNodes().FirstOrDefault(s => s is BlockSyntax);
var invocations = blockNode.DescendantNodes()
.Select(s => s as InvocationExpressionSyntax)
.Where(s => s != null)
foreach(InvocationExpressionSyntax i in invocations i)
{
// look at the signature of the method which is invoked
// in order to figure out if the arguments are attributed
}
}
For each InvocationExpressionSyntax
node I find, I need to check with which attributes the arguments are declared in the signature of the declaring method the invocation calls (namely my [ReadOnly]
attribute see here). In my understanding I need to get somehow from the InvocationExpressionSyntax
object to the corresponding IMethodSymbol
, but I cannot figure out how. Unlike FieldDeclarationSyntax
which has a property Declarations
by which I get an IFieldSymbol
like posted here, InvocationExpressionSyntax
doesn't and the following code I tried yields null for the symbol:
var model = context.Compilation.GetSemanticModel(ies.SyntaxTree);
var symbol = model.GetDeclaredSymbol(ies.Expression);
What am I doing wrong?
Example code of what my analyzer should analyze is:
void Foo()
{
int i = 42;
// coming from this InvocationExpressionSyntax node I want to find out that i is an parameter for an argument which has an [ReadOnly] attribute
Bar(i);
// coming from this InvocationExpressionSyntax node I want to find out that i is an parameter for an argument which has NOT an [ReadOnly] attribute
Baz(i);
}
void Bar([ReadOnly] int i)
{
}
void Baz(int i)
{
}
