Incorrect usage of the 'sync/atomic' package
Reports assignment statements of the form x = atomic.AddUint64(&x, 1).
Such operations are not atomic, and is a common misuse of the sync/atomic API. To make them atomic, one need to remove the assignment to use a direct call: atomic.AddUint64(&x, 1). In that case, the value of x will be updated atomically by address.
Example:
import (
"sync/atomic"
)
type Counter uint64
func AtomicTests() {
x := uint64(1)
x = atomic.AddUint64(&x, 1) // ERROR "direct assignment to atomic value"
_, x = 10, atomic.AddUint64(&x, 1) // ERROR "direct assignment to atomic value"
x, _ = atomic.AddUint64(&x, 1), 10 // ERROR "direct assignment to atomic value"
}
