Examples

Given a package with the file:

package pkg // import "example.org/foo/pkg"

func copy()  {}
func print() {}

func foo() string {
	string := "x"
	return string
}

type int struct{}

running:

predeclared example.org/foo/pkg

prints:

example.go:3:6: function "copy" has same name as predeclared identifier
example.go:4:6: function "print" has same name as predeclared identifier
example.go:7:2: variable "string" has same name as predeclared identifier
example.go:11:6: type "int" has same name as predeclared identifier

Running the program on the standard library's text package and subpackages produces:

$ predeclared text/...
/usr/local/go/src/text/template/parse/node.go:554:33: param "true" has same name as predeclared identifier
/usr/local/go/src/text/template/parse/node.go:599:3: variable "rune" has same name as predeclared identifier
/usr/local/go/src/text/template/funcs.go:164:36: param "cap" has same name as predeclared identifier
/usr/local/go/src/text/template/funcs.go:233:3: variable "cap" has same name as predeclared identifier
/usr/local/go/src/text/template/template.go:218:30: param "new" has same name as predeclared identifier
/usr/local/go/src/text/template/exec_test.go:232:21: param "error" has same name as predeclared identifier
