    cmd/vet: skip self-assigns with side effects · 320b0cdd
    Daniel Martí authored
    The existing logic for whether the left and right parts of an assignment
    were equal only checked that the gofmt representation of the two was
    equal. This only checks that the ASTs were equal.
    
    However, that method is flawed. For example, if either of the
    expressions contains a function call, the expressions may actually be
    different even if their ASTs are the same. An obvious case is a func
    call to math/rand to get a random integer, such as the one added in the
    test.
    
    If either of the expressions may have side effects, simply skip the
    check. Reuse the logic from bool.go's hasSideEffects.
    
    Fixes #22174.
