Found by go-fuzz, unlikely to occur in real code. Very low priority.

func main() {
	in := []byte("g(func()())")
	out, err := format.Source(in)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Printf("in : %q\nout: %q\n", in, out)
	return
}

Result:

in : "g(func()())"
out: "g(func())"

Observe the dropped parens pair.

If input is "g(func()()())" instead (extra parens pair), the result instead has misplaced parens:

in : "g(func()()())"
out: "g((func())())"

Compare https://play.golang.org/p/jmef0XQwDn3.

The error in the example source is that the function passed to g is missing its FunctionBody, but other than that it seems that go/format is correctly parsing func()() as the type of a function with empty Parameters and an empty (but parenthesized) Result.

For g(func()()()), the initial func()() is similarly parsed as a bodiless function, and the parentheses are added to invoke that function with empty Arguments.

Thanks, Bryan. Given that observation I’m going to call this one not worth investigating and close it.
