gocheckcompilerdirectives

Check that go compiler directives (//go: comments) are valid and catch easy mistakes.

Compiler directives are comments like //go:generate, //go:embed, //go:build, etc.

Why

Go compiler directives are comments in the form of //go: that provide an instruction to the compiler.

The directives are easy to make mistakes with. The linter will detect the following mistakes:

1. Adding a space in between the comment bars and the first character, e.g. // go:, will cause the compiler to silently ignore the comment.

2. Mistyping a directives name, e.g. //go:embod, will cause the compiler to silently ignore the comment.
