Go: returning from defer
问题 I want to return an error from a function if it panics (in Go): func getReport(filename string) (rep report, err error) { rep.data = make(map[string]float64) defer func() { if r := recover(); r != nil { fmt.Println("Recovered in f", r) err, _ = r.(error) return nil, err } }() panic("Report format not recognized.") // rest of the getReport function, which can try to out-of-bound-access a slice ... } I appear to have misunderstood the very concept of panic and defer. Can anybody enlighten me?
