unused: struct comparison

[s1na]

Hello. I'm using unused via golangci-lint. Here is the version of the packages:

❯ golangci-lint --version
golangci-lint has version 1.59.1 built with go1.22.4 from 1a55854 on 2024-06-08T22:05:49Z

❯ go version
go version go1.22.5 darwin/amd64

I can see that the version of go-tools that golanci-lint is using is honnef.co/go/tools v0.4.7.

I'm running this command:

golangci-lint run

My config is:

linters:
  disable-all: true
  enable:
    - unused

linters-settings:
  unused:
    field-writes-are-uses: false
    generated-is-used: true

This is the code:

package main

import "fmt"

type A struct {
    foo  bool
    bar  bool
    used string
}

func main() {
    a := A{foo: true, bar: true, used: "hi"}
    b := A{foo: true, bar: true, used: "hi"}
    fmt.Printf("%s %s %v\n", a.used, b.used, a == b)
}

unused thinks foo and bar are unused in this case. Their values are read by the struct comparison.
