What did you do?

  1. create a x.go and use built-in function like panic/recover/make/...
  2. hover on the built-in function.

What did you expect to see?

func(v any)func panic(v any)

What did you see instead?

It doesn't seem to be related to editor setting.

[Trace - 19:18:15.663 PM] Received response 'textDocument/hover - (7)' in 4ms.
Result: {"contents":{"kind":"markdown","value":"```go\nfunc(v any)\n```\n\n[`panic` on pkg.go.dev](https://pkg.go.dev/builtin?utm_source=gopls#panic)\n\nThe panic built\\-in function stops normal execution of the current\ngoroutine\\. When a function F calls panic, normal execution of F stops\nimmediately\\. Any functions whose execution was deferred by F are run in\nthe usual way, and then F returns to its caller\\. To the caller G, the\ninvocation of F then behaves like a call to panic, terminating G\\'s\nexecution and running any deferred functions\\. This continues until all\nfunctions in the executing goroutine have stopped, in reverse order\\. At\nthat point, the program is terminated with a non\\-zero exit code\\. This\ntermination sequence is called panicking and can be controlled by the\nbuilt\\-in function recover\\.\n"},"range":{"start":{"line":13,"character":1},"end":{"line":13,"character":6}}}

Possible reason

//https://github.com/golang/tools/blob/5ea13d0d89f92d5ca5468e282dd4ba2ad7503564/internal/lsp/source/hover.go#L576-L581

func FindHoverContext(ctx context.Context, s Snapshot, pkg Package, obj types.Object, pkgNode ast.Node, fullDecl ast.Decl) (*HoverContext, error) {
        ...
	case *ast.FuncDecl:
		switch obj.(type) {
		case *types.Func:
			info = &HoverContext{signatureSource: obj, Comment: node.Doc}
		case *types.Builtin:
			info = &HoverContext{signatureSource: node.Type, Comment: node.Doc}

In the case of *types.Builtin only node.Type (ast.FuncDecl.Type) is reserved while ast.FuncDecl.Name
info is discarded. I tried following change and the function name can be shown correctly.

  info = &HoverContext{signatureSource: node.Type, Comment: node.Doc}
    ↓
  info = &HoverContext{
      signatureSource: &ast.FuncDecl{
	  Name: node.Name,
	  Type: node.Type,
      },
      Comment: node.Doc,
  }
