When run with
--export-ref-info
, store line-level reference information in the cache, in a JSON file with a.refs.json
extension. It includes the line numbers and targets of each RefExpr in the program. This only works properly if incremental mode is disabled.The target can either be a fullname, or
*.name
for anname
attribute reference where the type of the object is unknown.This is an undocumented, experimental feature that may be useful for certain tools, but it shouldn't be used in production use cases.
