    cmd/vet: avoid false positives with non-comments · 07d384b9
    Daniel Martí authored
    vet's buildtag check looks for malformed build tag comments. Since these
    can appear in Go files as well as non-Go files (such as assembly files),
    it must read the file line by line instead of using go/token or go/ast
    directly.
    
    However, this method runs into false positives if there are any lines in
    the code that look like comments, but are not. For example:
    
    	$ cat f.go
    	package main
    	const foo = `
    	//+build ignore
    	`
    	$ go vet f.go
    	./f.go:3: +build comment must appear before package clause and be followed by a blank line
    
    This bug has been popping up more frequently since vet started being run
    with go test, so it is important to make the check as precise as
    possible.
    
    To avoid the false positive, when checking a Go file, cross-check that a
    line that looks like a comment actually corresponds to a comment in the
    go/ast syntax tree. Since vet already obtains the syntax trees for all
    the Go files, it checks, this change means very little extra work for
    the check.
    
    While at it, add a badf helper function to simplify the code that
    reports warnings in the buildtag check.
    
    Fixes #13533.
