Add a vet target in order to catch suspicious constructs reported by go vet. Vet has successfully detected problems in the past, for example, seepull/828/head482460c4c8fc36b1cd9468a41035a97b704fb77d4f3f85b16595fa353ee94bfe18b40dSome vet flags are noisy. In particular, the following flags reports a large amount of generally unharmful constructs: -assign: check for useless assignments -composites: check that composite literals used field-keyed elements -shadow: check for shadowed variables -shadowstrict: whether to be strict about shadowing -unreachable: check for unreachable code In order to skip running the flags mentioned above, vet is invoked on a directory basis with 'go tool vet .' since package- level type-checking with 'go vet' doesn't accept flags. Hence, each file is vetted in isolation, which is weaker than package-level type-checking. But nevertheless, it might catch suspicious constructs that pose a real problem. The vet target runs the following flags on the entire repo: -asmdecl: check assembly against Go declarations -atomic: check for common mistaken usages of the sync/atomic package -bool: check for mistakes involving boolean operators -buildtags: check that +build tags are valid -copylocks: check that locks are not passed by value -methods: check that canonically named methods are canonically defined -nilfunc: check for comparisons between functions and nil -printf: check printf-like invocations -rangeloops: check that range loop variables are used correctly -shift: check for useless shifts -structtags: check that struct field tags have canonical format and apply to exported fields as needed -unsafeptr: check for misuse of unsafe.Pointer Now and then, it might make sense to check the output of VETARGS=-unreachable make vet manually, just in case it detects several lines of dead code etc.
