Class Public::MethodCallNode

A data flow node that represents a direct call to a method.

When a method value is assigned to a variable then when it is called it syntactically looks like a function call, as in the following example.

file, _ := os.Open("test.txt")
f := file.Close
f()

In this case it will not be considered a MethodCallNode.
