What did you do?

package main

import (
	"fmt"
)

type Door struct {
	ID string
}

func (d *Door) Open() {
	fmt.Println("Open")
}

type Car struct {
	Door *Door
}

func (c *Car) OpenDoor() {
	c.Door.Open()
}

func main() {
	c := new(Car)
	c.Door.Open()
	// 	c.Door.ID = "test"
}

With this code , the c.Door is not initial , the c.Door.Open() can be called .
when do the c.Door.ID = "test" , it is nil pointer error

What did you expect to see?

when call c.Door.Open() , should be nil pointer error .

What did you see instead?

the c.Door.Open() can be called

Thank you for raising this issue. This is working as intended. In Go it is perfectly valid to call a method on a nil receiver. This is by design and not a bug.

Unlike many projects, the Go project does not use GitHub Issues for general discussion or asking questions. GitHub Issues are used for tracking bugs and proposals only.

For asking questions, see:
