Research direction

Start by reading com.oracle.graal.python.nodes.frame.WriteLocalVariableNode and the four nested call-node classes in com.oracle.graal.python.nodes.call.PythonCallNode, then compare nearby hasTag implementations. Done means each named class provides the appropriate instrumentation tags and the existing instrumentation behavior remains valid.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The com.oracle.graal.python.nodes.frame.WriteLocalVariableNode class does not override the hasTag method which provides the corresponding instrumentation tags. Same issue with the four nested classes: PythonCallUnary, PythonCallBinary, PythonCallTernary and PythonCallQuaternary of the com.oracle.graal.python.nodes.call.PythonCallNode class.

I will be opening a pull request with proposed fixes.
