Find Java parameter argument references

Recipe IDio.moderne.prethink.FindJavaParameterArgumentReferences

Artifactio.moderne.recipe:rewrite-prethink

Report bare ordinary invocation arguments that reference an explicitly written formal of their own method or constructor. Retain original declaration, body, parameter, invocation and identifier identities and written source ranges. Written argument ordinals are not target formal ordinals; no incoming-value, execution or runtime-flow inference.

Data tables

Java parameter argument references

io.moderne.prethink.table.JavaParameterArgumentReferences

Written bare ordinary-call arguments referring to an explicit formal of their own method or constructor body. One row per source occurrence, without deduplication. Actual UUIDs are original-input/producer-local; cross-table joins require verified namespaces and unique known source inventory. No JavaType.Variable object identity, generic signature parsing, target-formal mapping or runtime value flow.

Column	Description
Source path	Original written .java compilation-unit source path.
Source set	Sole actual JavaSourceSet name, preserving null/empty; null when missing or duplicated. Never inferred from a path.
Project ID	Sole actual JavaProject marker UUID, or null when missing/duplicated. Opaque original-input/producer-local identity.
Project name	Sole actual JavaProject name, preserving null/empty. Descriptive only; never an identity fallback.
Source set ID	Sole actual JavaSourceSet marker UUID, or null when missing/duplicated, independently of project-marker ambiguity.
Source file ID	Actual original J.CompilationUnit UUID. Does not establish method/body identity or stability across model copies.
Method ID	Actual own written J.MethodDeclaration UUID. Overloads and named nested/local declarations retain separate occurrences; no enclosing declaration identity is borrowed.
Method body ID	Actual own method or constructor body J.Block UUID, observed directly rather than inferred from a file or signature.
Method signature	Exact attributed JavaType.Method.toString() for the own declaration. Descriptive only; not declaration identity, a parsed parameter list or complete-attribution guarantee.
Method kind	METHOD or CONSTRUCTOR for the actual own written declaration. Constructor calls and delegation are excluded as invocation targets.
Method start line	One-based original sanitized-printer line at the full declaration start, including written annotations and excluding prefix whitespace/comments.
Method start column	One-based UTF-16 column at the full method or constructor declaration start; tabs count as one.
Method end line	One-based original line at the exclusive full declaration end, including its body.
Method end column	One-based UTF-16 column at the exclusive full declaration end.
Parameter declaration ID	Actual own explicit formal J.VariableDeclarations UUID. Distinct from the sole NamedVariable parameter ID.
Parameter ID	Actual sole formal-parameter NamedVariable UUID. No JavaType.Variable object identity or synthetic declaration identity is substituted.
Parameter index	Zero-based own written formal ordinal, excluding J.Empty and explicit receivers. A caller varargs formal occupies one slot; no synthetic formals are inferred.
Parameter name	Actual simple name of the uniquely matched own explicit formal in this exact declaration scope.
Parameter type	Available attributed formal-parameter JavaType.toString(), or null for missing/Unknown component type. Not an assignability or complete-attribution claim.
Parameter start line	One-based original sanitized-printer line at the full formal J.VariableDeclarations start, including annotations/type/name and excluding prefix whitespace/comments.
Parameter start column	One-based UTF-16 column at the full formal declaration start, including written annotations.
Parameter end line	One-based original line at the exclusive full formal declaration end; a following comma is excluded.
Parameter end column	One-based UTF-16 column at the exclusive full formal declaration end, excluding a following comma.
Invocation ID	Actual ordinary J.MethodInvocation UUID whose explicit argument is the bare identifier. Excludes constructor/delegation calls; nested ordinary calls retain their own occurrences.
Argument ID	Actual bare argument J.Identifier UUID, distinct from the declaration IDs. The identifier itself must be an explicit ordinary invocation argument.
Argument index	Zero-based written invocation argument ordinal, excluding the receiver/select. It is not the target formal index; expanded varargs arguments retain their written ordinals.
Reference start line	One-based original sanitized-printer line at the bare argument identifier start, excluding prefix whitespace/comments.
Reference start column	One-based UTF-16 column at the bare argument identifier start; tabs count as one.
Reference end line	One-based original line at the exclusive bare identifier end.
Reference end column	One-based UTF-16 column at the exclusive bare identifier end.
Reference source	Exact original sanitized-printer bare identifier slice, preserving written source spelling and excluding prefix whitespace/comments. Reassigned formals remain declaration references, not incoming values.

Column	Description
Source path before the run	The source path of the file before the run. null when a source file was created during the run.
Source path after the run	A recipe may modify the source path. This is the path after the run. null when a source file was deleted during the run.
Parent of the recipe that made changes	In a hierarchical recipe, the parent of the recipe that made a change. Empty if this is the root of a hierarchy or if the recipe is not hierarchical at all.
Recipe that made changes	The specific recipe that made a change.
