Golang linter to check the errors handling expressions
== Details
Starting from Go 1.13 the standard `error` type behaviour was changed: one `error` could be derived from another with `fmt.Errorf()` method using `%w` format specifier.
So the errors hierarchy could be built for flexible and responsible errors processing.
And to make this possible at least two simple rules should be followed:
1. `error` values should not be compared directly but with `errors.Is()` method.
1. `error` should not be created dynamically from scratch but by the wrapping the static (package-level) error.
This linter is checking the code for these 2 rules compliance.
=== Reports
So, `err113` reports every `==` and `!=` comparison for exact `error` type variables except comparison to `nil` and `io.EOF`.
Also, any call of `errors.New()` and `fmt.Errorf()` methods are reported except the calls used to initialise package-level variables and the `fmt.Errorf()` calls wrapping the other errors.
Note: non-standard packages, like `github.com/pkg/errors` are ignored completely.
== Install
```
go get -u github.com/Djarvur/go-err113/cmd/err113
```
== Usage
Defined by link:https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/tools/go/analysis/singlechecker[singlechecker] package.
```
