The Go compiler (I'm using go1.16 linux/amd64) correctly infers that
function with an infinite for { … } loop that conditionally returns a value
from within the loop does not also need to return a value at the end of the
function:
- https://play.golang.org/p/07ZjFx2uJlx
However, changing that infinite loop to a three-clause for loop with true
as the continuation condition (e.g., for i := 0; true; i++ { … }) complains
about a missing return at end of function:
- https://play.golang.org/p/yf4ihkdBUXZ
Shouldn't the compiler treat those two cases the same?
