Loop variables captured by the func literal
Reports references to loop variables from within func
literals in defer
and go
statements. Such variables might have unexpected values because they are not copied to func
literals, and the func
literals in defer
and go
are not executed immediately.
For more information about closures and goroutines, see What happens with closures running as goroutines? at go.dev.
Example:
for _, v := range []string{"a", "b", "c"} {
go func() {
fmt.Println(v) // output will likely be `c c c`, not `a b c`
}()
}
After the quick-fix is applied:
for _, v := range []string{"a", "b", "c"} {
v := v // `v` is copied now
go func() {
fmt.Println(v)
}()
}
Note the analyzer only checks defer
and go
statements when they are the last statement in the loop body. Otherwise, the analysis might produce false detections.
