        Bug

          Don’t null check (i.e. !) a potentially nullable type parameter.

          Why is this an issue?

          How can I fix it?

          More Info

          Given a type parameter T, the type T? is nullable version of T, i.e. A variable x of type T? can either hold a value of type T or null.

          However, when T itself is bound to a nullable type, a variable y of type T can hold a null value by itself. For example, if y is defined as int?, null is a valid value for y.

          Therefore, when T is bound to a nullable type, x can hold null as a valid value, which means that x! is an incorrect check for the validity of x, since it would raise a runtime exception when x holds null.

          void main() {
            int? x = null;
            bangT(x); // Throws a runtime exception
            asT(x); // Returns null
          }
          
          T bangT<T>(T x) => x!;
          T asT<T>(T x) => x as T;
