confuse the Go garbage collector; they are sometimes not really
pointers but data structures encoded in a pointer type. All operations
on these types must happen in C. The proper constant to initialize an
empty such reference is 0, not nil.

These special cases were introduced in Go 1.10. For auto-updating code
from Go 1.9 and earlier, use the cftype or jni rewrites in the Go fix tool:

// Package tar implements access to tar archives.
//
// Tape archives (tar) are a file format for storing a sequence of files that
// can be read and written in a streaming manner.
// This package aims to cover most variations of the format,
// including those produced by GNU and BSD tar tools.

Errors returned by [driver.Valuer] implementations are now wrapped for
improved error handling during operations like [DB.Query], [DB.Exec],

</pre>

into:

<pre>
n := 0
local := *shared
for i := 0; i < m; i++ {
	n += local
}
</pre>

<p>
provided it can be proved that <code>*shared</code> will not fault on access,
because the potential added read will not affect any existing concurrent reads or writes.
On the other hand, the rewrite would not be valid in a source-to-source translator.
