range-value-capture

Default severity: warning

Before Go 1.22, variables declared by a range clause were reused across iterations. Variables assigned with = are still reused on every Go version. A closure that outlives an iteration can therefore observe a later value. Immediately invoked closures are accepted.

Bad

var value int
for _, value = range values {
  callbacks = append(callbacks, func() { use(value) })
}

Good

for _, value := range values {
  go func(current int) {
    use(current)
  }(value)
}
