Summary of Changes

Hello @xushiwei, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly refactors the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) for function call expressions by relocating the CallExpr definition to ast_gop.go and enhancing it to support keyword arguments. This change introduces a dedicated KwargExpr struct to represent these named arguments, thereby expanding the AST's capability to parse and represent more advanced function call syntaxes, likely in support of Go+ language features.

Highlights

  • Refactoring CallExpr Definition: The CallExpr struct, which represents function call expressions in the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST), along with its associated methods (Pos, End, IsCommand, exprNode), has been moved from ast/ast.go to ast/ast_gop.go.
  • Introduction of Keyword Arguments: The CallExpr struct has been extended to include a new field, Kwargs []*KwargExpr, enabling the AST to represent keyword arguments in function calls.
  • New KwargExpr Struct: A new KwargExpr struct has been introduced to specifically model individual keyword arguments, comprising a Name (identifier) and a Value (expression), complete with its own Pos(), End(), and exprNode() methods.

Code Review

This pull request refactors the CallExpr AST node by moving it from ast/ast.go to ast/ast_gop.go and extends it to support keyword arguments. This is achieved by adding a Kwargs field to CallExpr and introducing a new KwargExpr node type. The changes are well-structured and consistent with the existing codebase. My only suggestion is to update the documentation for CallExpr to reflect its new capability.

The comment for CallExpr is no longer fully accurate with the addition of keyword arguments. It would be clearer to mention that the argument list can now include both positional and keyword arguments.

Suggested change
// A CallExpr node represents an expression followed by an argument list.
// A CallExpr node represents an expression followed by an argument list, which may include positional and keyword arguments.

Code Review Summary

Good work adding keyword argument support! Found critical issues requiring fixes:

Security: Nil pointer panics in Pos()/End() methods, missing AST walker updates
Structure: KwargExpr missing separator position field (see KeyValueExpr pattern)
Documentation: No syntax examples or spec updates for this new language feature

Details in inline comments below.

Critical Issues

ast/ast_gop.go:92-95 - Missing Position Field

Critical: KwargExpr missing separator position field. Following the KeyValueExpr pattern (ast/ast.go:269-273), should include:

type KwargExpr struct {
    Name  *Ident    // argument name
    Sep   token.Pos // position of "=" or ":"
    Value Expr      // argument value
}

This is essential for error reporting, formatting tools, and IDE features.

ast/ast_gop.go:74 - Nil Pointer Risk

Security: Nil pointer panic if Fun is nil. Add nil check:

func (x *CallExpr) Pos() token.Pos {
    if x.Fun != nil {
        return x.Fun.Pos()
    }
    return x.Lparen
}

ast/ast_gop.go:97 - Nil Pointer Risk

Security: Nil pointer panic if Name is nil. Add nil check:

func (x *KwargExpr) Pos() token.Pos {
    if x.Name != nil {
        return x.Name.Pos()
    }
    if x.Value != nil {
        return x.Value.Pos()
    }
    return token.NoPos
}

ast/ast_gop.go:101 - Nil Pointer Risk

Security: Nil pointer panic if Value is nil. Add nil check:

func (x *KwargExpr) End() token.Pos {
    if x.Value != nil {
        return x.Value.End()
    }
    if x.Name != nil {
        return x.Name.End()
    }
    return token.NoPos
}

ast/walk.go - Missing AST Walker Updates

Security: The Walk function doesn't traverse Kwargs field or handle KwargExpr nodes. This causes security analysis tools to miss code in keyword arguments. Need to:

  1. Update CallExpr case to walk Kwargs:
case *CallExpr:
    Walk(v, n.Fun)
    walkList(v, n.Args)
    walkList(v, n.Kwargs)  // Add this
  1. Add KwargExpr case:
case *KwargExpr:
    Walk(v, n.Name)
    Walk(v, n.Value)

Style Issues

ast/ast_gop.go:97,101,105 - Inconsistent Receiver Naming

Expression nodes use x as receiver, not p. Update KwargExpr methods to use x.

ast/ast_gop.go:62 - Documentation Update

Update CallExpr comment to mention keyword arguments:

// A CallExpr node represents an expression followed by an argument list.
// The argument list may include positional arguments (Args) and/or 
// keyword arguments (Kwargs).

ast/ast_gop.go:97,101 - Missing Method Documentation

Add documentation comments for Pos() and End() methods following the pattern used elsewhere in the file.

Documentation Gap

This adds a new language feature (keyword arguments) but there are no:

  • Syntax examples in code comments
  • Updates to language specification files
  • Usage examples showing the kwarg syntax

Consider adding examples showing the actual syntax (e.g., func(arg: value) or func(arg=value)).
