Currently, the go/types.Type for a declared type alias is the same type as the that which it is aliased too. In Go 1.23, when GODEBUG=gotypesalias=1 is enabled by default, it is a go/types.Alias instead, which is a unique type node for aliases that points to the type it is aliased to via go/types.Unalias(). (see golang/go#63223 for more details). errcheck's tests do not currently fail with GODEBUG=gotypesalias=1, but that is because the tests themselves do not exercise the problematic situations, such as the following: ```go type t struct{} func (x t) a() error { /* ... */ } type embedt struct { t } type embedtalias = embedt func foo() { embedtalias.a() } ``` With GODEBUG=gotypesalias=1, errcheck will panic when inspecting `embedtalias.a()` to see if it should be excluded from checking: ``` panic: cannot get Field of a type that is not a struct, got _/home/user/go/src/github.com/kisielk/errcheck/errcheck/testdata/src/a.embedtalias (*types.Alias) goroutine 2962 [running]: github.com/kisielk/errcheck/errcheck.getTypeAtFieldIndex({0x7779c0?, 0xc002eceab0?}, 0x4c?) /home/user/go/src/github.com/kisielk/errcheck/errcheck/embedded_walker.go:96 +0xf9 github.com/kisielk/errcheck/errcheck.walkThroughEmbeddedInterfaces(0x6b83a0?) /home/user/go/src/github.com/kisielk/errcheck/errcheck/embedded_walker.go:53 +0x8e github.com/kisielk/errcheck/errcheck.(*visitor).namesForExcludeCheck(0xc0025eeff0, 0xc002596140?) /home/user/go/src/github.com/kisielk/errcheck/errcheck/errcheck.go:364 +0x165 github.com/kisielk/errcheck/errcheck.(*visitor).excludeCall(0xc0025eeff0, 0x4d?) /home/user/go/src/github.com/kisielk/errcheck/errcheck/errcheck.go:403 +0x72 github.com/kisielk/errcheck/errcheck.(*visitor).ignoreCall(0xc0025eeff0, 0xc002596140) /home/user/go/src/github.com/kisielk/errcheck/errcheck/errcheck.go:415 +0x2c github.com/kisielk/errcheck/errcheck.(*visitor).Visit(0xc0025eeff0, {0x776d48?, 0xc0066e08a0}) /home/user/go/src/github.com/kisielk/errcheck/errcheck/errcheck.go:564 +0x137 ``` This change uses `types.Unalias` to follow through this extra level of indirection, which fixes the panic and ensures the same behavior with both settings. This change also adds these cases to the test suite, and runs the tests using both settings of gotypesalias. Without the calls to `types.Unalias`, the tests fail.
