-Vet is a tool that checks correctness of Go programs. It runs a suite of tests,
-each tailored to check for a particular class of errors. Examples include incorrect
-Printf format verbs and malformed build tags.
-
-Over time many checks have been added to vet's suite, but many more have been
-rejected as not appropriate for the tool. The criteria applied when selecting which
-checks to add are:
-
-Correctness:
-
-Vet's checks are about correctness, not style. A vet check must identify real or
-potential bugs that could cause incorrect compilation or execution. A check that
-only identifies stylistic points or alternative correct approaches to a situation
-is not acceptable.
-
-Frequency:
-
-Vet is run every day by many programmers, often as part of every compilation or
-submission. The cost in execution time is considerable, especially in aggregate,
-so checks must be likely enough to find real problems that they are worth the
-overhead of the added check. A new check that finds only a handful of problems
-across all existing programs, even if the problem is significant, is not worth
-adding to the suite everyone runs daily.
-
-Precision:
-
-Most of vet's checks are heuristic and can generate both false positives (flagging
-correct programs) and false negatives (not flagging incorrect ones). The rate of
-both these failures must be very small. A check that is too noisy will be ignored
-by the programmer overwhelmed by the output; a check that misses too many of the
-cases it's looking for will give a false sense of security. Neither is acceptable.
-A vet check must be accurate enough that everything it reports is worth examining,
-and complete enough to encourage real confidence.
