<h4 id="vet-loopclosure">References to loop variables</h4>

<p><!-- CL 539016, https://go.dev/issue/63888: cmd/vet: do not report variable capture for loop variables with the new lifetime rules -->
The behavior of the <code>vet</code> tool has changed to match
the new semantics (see above) of loop variables in Go 1.22.
When analyzing a file that requires Go 1.22 or newer
(due to its go.mod file or a per-file build constraint),
<code>vet</code>code> no longer reports references to
loop variables from within a function literal that
might outlive the iteration of the loop.
In Go 1.22, loop variables are created anew for each iteration,
so such references are no longer at risk of using a variable
after it has been updated by the loop.
