LastInsertId

golint flags LastInsertId

godrv/driver.go:160:18: func LastInsertId should be LastInsertID

'though I have to implement database/sql/Result interface, which has LastInsertId.
Can I suppress this flag?

Thanks,

You can't suppress it, but you could grep it out if it bothers you.

autocmd BufWritePost,FileWritePost *.go execute 'Lint'| vimgrep -Ev 'Id should be ID' | cwindow

Seems to do the trick for me not sure I understand the rule on why Id should be all caps. Just wanted to drop this in to save time for future searchers with the same problem.

[dsymonds]

ID is in caps for the same reason that URL and HTTP are in caps; because that's Go's style for initialisms. It's regrettable that database/sql got it wrong (it should have used LastInsertID), but we are stuck with it now.

[lateefj]

I know what URL and HTTP stand for I thought Id was short for Identity I didn't realize it was two words..

[dsymonds]

ID is short for identity (or identification), but it's formally treated as
an initialism (see a dictionary, or signage).
