		Title: `Unsupported argument to functions in \'encoding/binary\'`,
		Text: `The \'encoding/binary\' package can only serialize types with known sizes.
This precludes the use of the \'int\' and \'uint\' types, as their sizes
differ on different architectures. Furthermore, it doesn't support
serializing maps, channels, strings, or functions.

Before Go 1.8, \'bool\' wasn't supported, either.`,

	"SA1004": {
		Title: `Suspiciously small untyped constant in \'time.Sleep\'`,
		Text: `The \'time\'.Sleep function takes a \'time.Duration\' as its only argument.
Durations are expressed in nanoseconds. Thus, calling \'time.Sleep(1)\'
will sleep for 1 nanosecond. This is a common source of bugs, as sleep
functions in other languages often accept seconds or milliseconds.

The \'time\' package provides constants such as \'time.Second\' to express
large durations. These can be combined with arithmetic to express
arbitrary durations, for example \'5 * time.Second\' for 5 seconds.

If you truly meant to sleep for a tiny amount of time, use
\'n * time.Nanosecond\' to signal to Staticcheck that you did mean to sleep
for some amount of nanoseconds.`,

	},

	"SA1005": {
		Title: `Invalid first argument to \'exec.Command\'`,
		Text: `\'os/exec\' runs programs directly (using variants of the fork and exec
system calls on Unix systems). This shouldn't be confused with running
a command in a shell. The shell will allow for features such as input
redirection, pipes, and general scripting. The shell is also
responsible for splitting the user's input into a program name and its
arguments. For example, the equivalent to

    ls / /tmp

would be

    exec.Command("ls", "/", "/tmp")

If you want to run a command in a shell, consider using something like
the following – but be aware that not all systems, particularly
Windows, will have a \'/bin/sh\' program:

    exec.Command("/bin/sh", "-c", "ls | grep Awesome")`,

	"SA1006": {
		Title: `\'Printf\' with dynamic first argument and no further arguments`,
		Text: `Using \'fmt.Printf\' with a dynamic first argument can lead to unexpected
output. The first argument is a format string, where certain character
combinations have special meaning. If, for example, a user were to
enter a string such as

    Interest rate: 5%

and you printed it with

    fmt.Printf(s)

it would lead to the following output:

    Interest rate: 5%!(NOVERB).

Similarly, forming the first parameter via string concatenation with
user input should be avoided for the same reason. When printing user
input, either use a variant of \'fmt.Print\', or use the \'%s\' Printf verb
and pass the string as an argument.`,

		Title: `Non-canonical key in \'http.Header\' map`,
		Text: `Keys in \'http.Header\' maps are canonical, meaning they follow a specific
combination of uppercase and lowercase letters. Methods such as
\'http.Header.Add\' and \'http.Header.Del\' convert inputs into this canonical
form before manipulating the map.

When manipulating \'http.Header\' maps directly, as opposed to using the
provided methods, care should be taken to stick to canonical form in
order to avoid inconsistencies. The following piece of code
demonstrates one such inconsistency:

    h := http.Header{}
    h["etag"] = []string{"1234"}
    h.Add("etag", "5678")
    fmt.Println(h)

    // Output:
    // map[Etag:[5678] etag:[1234]]

The easiest way of obtaining the canonical form of a key is to use

    var v interface{} = T{}

    switch v.(type) {
    case io.Reader:
        // ...
    case T:
        // unreachable
    }

the second case clause can never be reached because \'T\' implements
\'io.Reader\' and case clauses are evaluated in source order.

Another example:

    type T struct{}
    func (T) Read(b []byte) (int, error) { return 0, nil }
    func (T) Close() error { return nil }

    var v interface{} = T{}

    switch v.(type) {
    case io.Reader:

Even though \'T\' has a \'Close\' method and thus implements \'io.ReadCloser\',
\'io.Reader\' will always match first. The method set of \'io.Reader\' is a
subset of \'io.ReadCloser\'. Thus it is impossible to match the second
case without matching the first case.


Structurally equivalent interfaces

A special case of the previous example are structurally identical
interfaces. Given these declarations

    type T error
    type V error

    func doSomething() error {

        if ok {
            return T(err)

the following type switch will have an unreachable case clause:

    switch doSomething().(type) {
    case T:
        // ...
    case V:
        // unreachable
    }

\'T\' will always match before V because they are structurally equivalent
and therefore \'doSomething()\''s return value implements both.`,

	"SA4023": {
		Title: `Impossible comparison of interface value with untyped nil`,
		Text: `Under the covers, interfaces are implemented as two elements, a
type T and a value V. V is a concrete value such as an int,
struct or pointer, never an interface itself, and has type T. For
instance, if we store the int value 3 in an interface, the
resulting interface value has, schematically, (T=int, V=3). The
value V is also known as the interface's dynamic value, since a
given interface variable might hold different values V (and
corresponding types T) during the execution of the program.

An interface value is nil only if the V and T are both
unset, (T=nil, V is not set), In particular, a nil interface will
always hold a nil type. If we store a nil pointer of type *int
inside an interface value, the inner type will be *int regardless
of the value of the pointer: (T=*int, V=nil). Such an interface
value will therefore be non-nil even when the pointer value V
inside is nil.

This situation can be confusing, and arises when a nil value is
stored inside an interface value such as an error return:

    func returnsError() error {
        var p *MyError = nil
        if bad() {
            p = ErrBad
        }
        return p // Will always return a non-nil error.
    }

If all goes well, the function returns a nil p, so the return
value is an error interface value holding (T=*MyError, V=nil).
This means that if the caller compares the returned error to nil,
it will always look as if there was an error even if nothing bad
happened. To return a proper nil error to the caller, the
function must return an explicit nil:

    func returnsError() error {
        if bad() {
            return ErrBad
        }
        return nil
    }

It's a good idea for functions that return errors always to use
the error type in their signature (as we did above) rather than a
concrete type such as \'*MyError\', to help guarantee the error is
created correctly. As an example, \'os.Open\' returns an error even
though, if not nil, it's always of concrete type *os.PathError.

Similar situations to those described here can arise whenever
interfaces are used. Just keep in mind that if any concrete value
has been stored in the interface, the interface will not be nil.

the pointer may be nil and dereferencing it may panic. This is
commonly a result of improperly ordered code or missing return
statements. Consider the following examples:

    func fn(x *int) {
        fmt.Println(*x)

        // This nil check is equally important for the previous dereference
        if x != nil {
            foo(*x)
        }
    }

    func TestFoo(t *testing.T) {
        x := compute()
        if x == nil {
            t.Errorf("nil pointer received")
        }

        // t.Errorf does not abort the test, so if x is nil, the next line will panic.
        foo(*x)
    }

Staticcheck tries to deduce which functions abort control flow.
For example, it is aware that a function will not continue
execution after a call to \'panic\' or \'log.Fatal\'. However, sometimes
this detection fails, in particular in the presence of
conditionals. Consider the following example:

    func Log(msg string, level int) {
        fmt.Println(msg)
        if level == levelFatal {
            os.Exit(1)

    func fn(x *int) {
        if x == nil {
            Fatal("unexpected nil pointer")
        }
        fmt.Println(*x)
    }

Staticcheck will flag the dereference of \'x\', even though it is perfectly
safe. Staticcheck is not able to deduce that a call to
Fatal will exit the program. For the time being, the easiest
workaround is to modify the definition of Fatal like so:

    func Fatal(msg string) {
        Log(msg, levelFatal)
        panic("unreachable")
    }

Normally, a conversion of a byte slice to a string needs to copy the data and

strings and can return as soon as the first non-matching character has
been found.

		Text: `In a constant declaration such as the following:

    const (
        First byte = 1
        Second     = 2
    )

the constant Second does not have the same type as the constant First.
This construct shouldn't be confused with

    const (
        First byte = iota
        Second
    )

where \'First\' and \'Second\' do indeed have the same type. The type is only
passed on when no explicit value is assigned to the constant.

When declaring enumerations with explicit values it is therefore
important not to write

    const (
          EnumFirst EnumType = 1
          EnumSecond         = 2
          EnumThird          = 3
    )

This discrepancy in types can cause various confusing behaviors and
bugs.


Wrong type in variable declarations

The most obvious issue with such incorrect enumerations expresses
itself as a compile error:

    package pkg

    const (
        EnumFirst  uint8 = 1
        EnumSecond       = 2
    )

    func fn(useFirst bool) {
        x := EnumSecond
        if useFirst {
            x = EnumFirst
        }
    }

fails to compile with

    ./const.go:11:5: cannot use EnumFirst (type uint8) as type int in assignment


Losing method sets

A more subtle issue occurs with types that have methods and optional
interfaces. Consider the following:

    package main

    import "fmt"

    type Enum int

    func (e Enum) String() string {
        return "an enum"
    }

    const (
        EnumFirst  Enum = 1
        EnumSecond      = 2
    )

    func main() {
        fmt.Println(EnumFirst)
        fmt.Println(EnumSecond)
    }

This code will output

    an enum
    2

as \'EnumSecond\' has no explicit type, and thus defaults to \'int\'.`,

Writing

    d := os.TempDir()

in your unit tests will have a devastating effect on the stability of your system.

When declaring variables as part of an \'if\' statement (like in \"if

    } else {

    }

\'x\' in the \'else\' branch will refer to the \'x\' from \'x, ok
:=\'; it will not refer to the \'x\' that is being type-asserted. The
result of a failed type assertion is the zero value of the type that
is being asserted to, so \'x\' in the else branch will always have the
value \'0\' and the type \'int\'.
