staticcheck: unhandled type *ir.ArrayConst

[itsdevbear]

Welcome

• Yes, I'm using a binary release within 2 latest major releases. Only such installations are supported.
• Yes, I've searched similar issues on GitHub and didn't find any.
• Yes, I've read the typecheck section of the FAQ (https://golangci-lint.run/welcome/faq/#why-do-you-have-typecheck-errors).
• Yes, I've tried with the standalone linter if available (e.g., gocritic, go vet, etc.). (https://golangci-lint.run/usage/linters/)

Description of the problem

Hello,

can you provide a reproducible example?

[ldez]

It's a problem with Staticcheck dominikh/go-tools#1397

The problem has been fixed by dominikh/go-tools@b3ee554

But this commit is missing from the latest release branch of staticcheck.

[itsdevbear]

Oh wow thanks for digging in! Is there a way to force the usage of latest main for static check within golangci?

[ldez]

staticcheck uses release branches, the difference between the main branch and a release branch, is complex to verify.
So I think it is not a good idea to use the main branch.

Linters are classic Go modules, so to use another version of a dependency you have to update the go.mod and compile golangci-lint.
