I wanted to check if a given CIDR from user is valid, so I tried using the following approach:

_, ipnet, err := net.ParseCIDR("10.256.0.0/16")
if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("%#v, %#v", ipnet.String(), err)
}

but that caused panic:

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal 0xb code=0x1 addr=0x0 pc=0x57850]

goroutine 1 [running]:
net.networkNumberAndMask(0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0)

exit status 2

I'm using go 1.4.2 as it's obvious from the log above.
See on playground: http://play.golang.org/p/CqmfdTgQLm

The cleanest workaround I was able to come up with:

func main() {
    defer func() {
        if r := recover(); r != nil {
            fmt.Println("Invalid CIDR")
            return
        }
    }()
    _, ipnet, err := net.ParseCIDR("10.256.0.0/16")
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("%#v, %#v", ipnet.String(), err)
    }
}

When ParseCIDR fails, the returned values are:

ip = net.IP(nil)
ipnet = (*net.IPNet)(nil)
err = &net.ParseError{Type:"CIDR address", Text:"10.256.0.0/16"}

True, it's actually me causing the panic by calling .String()! Sorry!
