There is no reason to re-assign a variable to itself. Either this statement is redundant and should be removed, or the re-assignment is a mistake
and some other value or variable was intended for the assignment instead.
Noncompliant code example
func (user *User) rename(name string) {
name = name // Noncompliant
}
Compliant solution
func (user *User) rename(name string) {
user.name = name
}
