Language: Go

Severity: Info

Category: Best Practices

Empty critical sections are often a mistake. Instead of unlocking, developers often miss using defer to defer unlocking the mutex.

func test() {     mutex.Lock()     mutex.Unlock() }

func test() {     mutex.Lock()     doSomething()     mutex.Unlock() }
