Hi,
Before reporting this bug I thought I would post here to confirm that it
has not been covered already.
If a function argument hides a built-in function and there is an attempt to
call the built-in function the compiler will crash with no indication of
where it was in the compilation process, which makes it hard to find in a
large codebase.
Here is a simple repo of the issue
package main
var a = []byte{1,2,3}
func bug(len int) bool {
return len < len(a)
}
func main() {
println(bug(5))
}
Here the argument len hides the built-in function len, and in that same
function a call is made to the function len. The expected result would be a
compiler error
*cannot call non-function len (type int)*
The actual result is
> *panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer
> dereference[signal 0xc0000005 code=0x0 addr=0x70 pc=0xb94675]*
