We now rank printf operand candidates according to the corresponding
formatting verb. We follow what fmt allows for the most part, but I
omitted some things because they are uncommon and would result in many
false positives, or didn't seem worth it to support:
- We don't prefer fmt.Stringer or error types for "%x" or "%X".
- We don't prefer pointers for any verbs except "%p".
- We don't prefer recursive application of verbs (e.g. we won't prefer
[]string for "%s").
I decided against sharing code with the printf analyzer. It was
tangled somewhat with go/analysis, and I needed only a very small
subset of the format parsing.
I tweaked candidate type evaluation to accommodate the printf hints.
We now skip expected type of "interface{}" when matching candidate
types because it matches everything and would always supersede the
coarser object kind checks.
