Hi, I recently learned that the variable shadowing linting does not exist (anymore) in go vet. Since I only recently started to not use Jetbrains Goland, which does have a visual warning about shadowed warnings, I now learned about the need to lint for this explicitly. I found some issues which are talking about shadowing but did not find an explicit rule in the documentation: https://staticcheck.dev/docs/checks/ So simply put, does staticcheck find shadowed variables? |

I had already suspected, thank you for answering. Searching the web / github i could not find any other sensible linter. Do you have some recommendation? I was hoping since the Jetbrains tools have a good highlighter for this, there must be some usable linter. |

It does not. And generally speaking, if a check would be too noisy for
go vet, it wouldn't be a good fit for Staticcheck, either.
