What did you do?

Installed and ran the shadow analyzer on a file witht the contents below:

$ go get -u -v golang.org/x/tools/go/analysis/passes/shadow/cmd/shadow
$ cat tt.go
package main

import (
        "fmt"
)

func main() {
        n := 10
        total := 0
        for _, n := range []int{1, 2, 3} {
                total += n
        }
        fmt.Printf("total is %d, n is %d\n", total, n)
}

$ shadow tt.go
$ 

No warning was generated

What did you expect to see?

A message similar to:

/home/john/tt.go:10:9: declaration of "n" shadows declaration at line 8

What did you see instead?

No output from the shadow tool.
