    fmt.Println("foo")

I don't see errcheck complaining there

how about (taken from here: (https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/ak305l/goodbye...):

    r1, err := fn1()
    r2, err = fn2()
    if err != nil {
      return err
    }

err check doesn't complain either

That second example is really surprising. This sort of thing happens all the time in production when lines get moved around. Does anyone know why errcheck misses it?

Not sure about that. But https://github.com/gordonklaus/ineffassign catches that.
