Sometimes AST trees would be thrown away, specifically when long chained expressions would be compressed into temporary cache variables. Sometimes the ASTs that are thrown away, have nodes directly written to the diff graph. This only happens with expressions, and closures typically write directly to the diff graph.
This PR minimizes what is written directly to the diff graph from function creation, and extends
x2cpg.Ast
to also includeCAPTURE
edges. This also introducesclosureToRefs
map to track whichBlock
nodes already have live method ASTs in the diff graph.
