Inspectopedia Help

Exceeded shift expression

Reports shift expressions that equal or exceed the width of the integer.

All the bits of the left operand are shifted in such expression resulting in a constant value. The constant value indicates that either the shift offset is incorrect or the shift expression is redundant.

Example:

func shift(i int8) { fmt.Println(i << 8) // always prints 0 }
