This false-positive is not present in the upstream stand-alone 'unused'
2019.1.1 program that golangci-lint uses.
pkg/lint.ContextLoader.filterPackages() did two things:
1. It removed synthetic "testmain" packages (packages with .Name=="main"
and .PkgPath ending with ".test")
2. It removed pruned subsumed copies of packages; if a package with files
"a.go" and "a_test.go", it results in packages.Load giving us two
packages:
- ID=".../a" GoFiles=[a.go]
- ID=".../a [.../a.test]" GoFiles=[a.go a_test.go]
The first package is subsumed in the second, and leaving it around
results in duplicated work, and confuses the 'deadcode' linter.
However, the 'unused' linter relies on both the ".../a" and
".../a [.../a.test]" packages being present. Pruning them causes it to
panic in some situations, which lead to this workaround:
af6baa5dc1
While that workaround got it to not panic, it causes incorrect results.
So, split filterPackages() in to two functions: filterTestMainPackages()
and filterDuplicatePackages(). The linter.Context.Packages list only
gets filterTestMainPackages() called on it, while linter.Context.Program
and linter.Context.SSAProgram get both filters applied.
With the source of the panic fixed, roll back a few now-unnecessary
commits in go-tools.
Significantly improve CPU and memory usage when not using SSA-powered linters.
Improve readability of go/packages errors.
Improve debugging capabilities and write doc about debugging.
Treat Go source files as plain text files by misspell: it allows detecting
issues in strings, variable names, etc. Also, it's the default mode of
a standalone misspell tool.
Also, implement richer and more stable auto-fix of misspell issues:
now it can fix multiple issues in one line.
This mostly aims to document how everything was generated, and the steps
necessary to re-generate the same files verbatim; the goal is to figure
out how to reproduce the files as they currently are. The exception is
that we strip out the timestamp out of install.sh.
The bug was introduced in golangci-lint when migrating staticcheck to go/packages.
Also, thanks to pkg.IllTyped we can analyze as max as we can by
staticcheck.

Preprocessed files like .qtpl.go quicktemplate Go files can have
//line directives. They map to a source .qtpl file.
This commit fixes linting of such files:
1. don't fail on AST cache loading
2. output Go filename not .qtpl or similar
Also, here we update golint to the upstream version.
