Umbrella issue: we need to verify that the vet analyzers in x/tools are well behaved with generic code, before they are vendored into the standard library as part of the Go 1.18 release cycle.

The majority of the analyzers require no additional logic for the new language constructs. In most of these cases, we should still add test coverage. This coverage needs to be added both in x/tools, and in cmd/vet/testdata. We can start with x/tools and add tests to cmd/vet once our changes have been vendored.

In some cases, analyzers will require new logic to handle type parameters. For example, the printf analyzer could consider the structural restrictions on a type parameter (e.g. interface { ~int }), and offer diagnostics if a particular verb is incompatible with this structural restriction (I put together a proof of concept CL for this). But the solution in that CL is not obviously correct: we can't know whether a type argument implements fmt.Formatter. Where such non-trivial decisions are required, we should have a separate proposal issue that will be referenced here.

I'll keep this top comment updated with the current state of analyzers:

CC @timothy-king @golang/tools-team

(N.B.: I'm filing this issue during quiet week, because we need it to track ongoing CLs. Please note that we might not be responsive to discussion about vet changes this week, but that there will be time for discussion later).

Change https://golang.org/cl/353210 mentions this issue: go/analysis/passes/unmarshal: allow unmarshalling to a type parameter

gopherbot pushed a commit to golang/tools that referenced this issue Oct 4, 2021
We can also unmarshal data to a type parameter, in addition to a pointer
and an interface.

This analyzer probably requires more discussion, but this solution
should be sufficient for now.

Change https://golang.org/cl/353629 mentions this issue: go/analysis/passes/bools: add typeparams test

gopherbot pushed a commit to golang/tools that referenced this issue Oct 5, 2021
This atomic check simply inspects whether sync/atomic.Add*
are used and LHS looks identical to the first arg of the call.
In the current implementation, this does not require handling
of type params. This test shows the addition of typeparams
doesn't crash the vet.

Pending the acceptance of golang/go#49038, this CL updates the printf
analyzer to warn if any elements of a type parameter's type set do not
match the printf verb being considered. Since this may be a source of

I'm pretty sure we looked at everything, and I'm satisfied with the changes we made. It would have been nice to have added more precision to the unsafeptr analyzer (see https://golang.org/cl/360174), but I don't think that's release blocker and we can improve it for 1.19.

Closing this as done. Any additional changes to the analyzers should be against new, more specific issues.
