Subject: RE: [sarif] "generatedFile" => "uncontrolledFile"


The purpose of these roles is to help a SARIF consumer who can’t access a VCS to decide what files have changed (and so might need to be reanalyzed). Given that, I don’t see a useful distinction between a generated file and any other file that’s not under source control. In either case, the consumer either has to assume that the file has changed, or it has to keep track of a last-modified time, or a hash, of the file.

 

So I think generatedFile is not necessary as a separate property, and I propose we rename it to uncontrolledFile.

It may be useful to have both of these.  generatedFile implies uncontrolledFile, but there are other referenced files that are uncontrolled, but not generated, such as files that are part of the standard library of the language.

 

If generatedFile is not useful, then uncontrolledFile is probably a better name.
