Immediate dereferencing of new expressions GO-C4002
Anti-pattern
Minor
Autofix It is recommended to replace the immediate dereferencing of new expressions to
the equivalent zero value of the type, i.e., new returns a pointer to a newly
allocated zero value of the type passed as an argument to new, so
dereferencing the same gives the zero value.
Bad practice
boolStore := *new(bool)
Recommended
boolStore := false // zero value of `bool` is `false`
