Kotlin: Mention Literal::getLiteral() difference from source code#14584
Merged
Conversation
It appears the Kotlin extractor does not have access to the actual string representation in the source code, and for most literal types uses simply the represented value also as `getLiteral` result, see https://github.com/github/codeql/blob/codeql-cli/v2.15.1/java/kotlin-extractor/src/main/kotlin/KotlinFileExtractor.kt#L4443
