R002

R002

The R002 analyzer reports likely extraneous uses of star (*) dereferences for a Set() call. The Set() function automatically handles pointers and * dereferences without nil checks can panic.

Flagged Code

var stringPtr *string

d.Set("example", *stringPtr)

Passing Code

var stringPtr *string

d.Set("example", stringPtr)

Ignoring Reports

Singular reports can be ignored by adding the a //lintignore:R002 Go code comment at the end of the offending line or on the line immediately proceding, e.g.

var stringPtr *string

//lintignore:R002
d.Set("example", *stringPtr)
