Overview

Package shadow defines an Analyzer that checks for shadowed variables.

Analyzer shadow

shadow: check for possible unintended shadowing of variables

This analyzer check for shadowed variables. A shadowed variable is a variable declared in an inner scope with the same name and type as a variable in an outer scope, and where the outer variable is mentioned after the inner one is declared.

(This definition can be refined; the module generates too many false positives and is not yet enabled by default.)

For example:

func BadRead(f *os.File, buf []byte) error {
	var err error
	for {
		n, err := f.Read(buf) // shadows the function variable 'err'
		if err != nil {
			break // causes return of wrong value
		}
		foo(buf)
	}
	return err
}
