<li>
<code>recover</code> was not called directly by a deferred function.
</li>
</ul>

<p>
The <code>protect</code> function in the example below invokes
the function argument <code>g</code> and protects callers from
run-time panics raised by <code>g</code>.
</p>

<pre>
func protect(g func()) {
	defer func() {
		log.Println("done")  // Println executes normally even if there is a panic

Also, constants are always evaluated as 64-bit unsigned integers.
Thus <code>-2</code> is not the integer value minus two,
but the unsigned 64-bit integer with the same bit pattern.
The distinction rarely matters but
to avoid ambiguity, division or right shift where the right operand's
high bit is set is rejected.
