Go Compilation Error for Unused “append” Result
The Go compiler may issue an unused variable compilation error when appending to a slice and not using the result. This behavior differs from other languages that raise an unused variable error when declaring a variable without using it.
In Go, the presence of an unused variable is flagged as an error only if the variable is not read. Appending to a slice using append() involves reading the slice as it is passed to the function. Similar behavior is observed when assigning a value to a map key.
Consider the following code:
var mySlice []string mySlice = append(mySlice, "halo")
In this example, mySlice is read during the append operation, even if its result is not used elsewhere. Therefore, this code will not generate an unused variable error.
However, assigning a value to a slice using the direct assignment operator does not involve reading the slice header. As a result, the following code will produce an unused variable error:
var i = []int{0} i = []int{1}
To resolve this error, the slice can be used before reassigning it. For example:
var i = []int{0} i[0] = 1 i = []int{1}
This code will compile successfully because i[0] = 1 reads the slice header.
以上是為什麼 Go 會為 `append` 標記未使用的變數錯誤,但不會為直接切片賦值標記錯誤?的詳細內容。更多資訊請關注PHP中文網其他相關文章!
