Golangci-lint does not show revive `exported` lints when using `import "C"`

[polyscone]

Welcome

• Yes, I'm using a binary release within 2 latest major releases. Only such installations are supported.
• Yes, I've searched similar issues on GitHub and didn't find any.
• Yes, I've included all information below (version, config, etc).
• Yes, I've tried with the standalone linter if available. (https://golangci-lint.run/usage/linters/)

Description of the problem

When I enable the revive linter along with setting the include configuration to include exported lints the linter output fails when import "C" is used.

I've been using cgo to call into SDL2 and I noticed today that in files where I import "C" and #include a .h file, the exported class of lints (doc comments on exported function etc.) don't show up.

These lints work prefectly fine if I don't import "C".

The lints also work fine if I enable the now deprecated golint linter even without removing import "C", so this is just a problem with revive, for some reason.

Code example or link to a public repository

The minimum project I set up is a .golangci.json file with the above config, a go.mod file, a main.go file with an empty main function in it, and then an sdl package.

The sdl package contains a single sdl.go file with the following contents:

package sdl

// #include <SDL.h>
import "C"

func Foo() {}

As soon as I remove the import "C" golangci-lint correctly reports the missing doc comments.

Hey, thank you for opening your first Issue ! 🙂 If you would like to contribute we have a guide for contributors.

Hello,

I recommend adding typecheck (this linter is a requirement), and I think you will see the root cause of your problem.

Hello,

I recommend adding typecheck (this linter is a requirement), and I think you will see the root cause of your problem.

Thank you for the suggestion, but adding typecheck doesn't change the output.

Just in case I tried it anyway, so this is now my config:

{
    "linters": {
        "disable-all": true,
        "enable": [
            "typecheck",
            "revive"
        ]
    },
    "issues": {
        "include": [
            "EXC0012",
            "EXC0013",
            "EXC0014",
            "EXC0015"
        ]
    }
}

After running the following...

golangci-lint cache clean
golangci-lint run -v

...this is the output I get:

level=info msg="[config_reader] Config search paths: [./ C:\\Users\\Polyscone\\Desktop\\bug C:\\Users\\Polyscone\\Desktop C:\\Users\\Polyscone C:\\Users C:\\ D:\\devenv]"

level=info msg="Memory: 9 samples, avg is 50.6MB, max is 69.0MB"
level=info msg="Execution took 774.9253ms"

So no new errors/warnings and the doc comment lints still aren't being shown.

I also tried running revive directly and the lints work just fine that way.

Edit:
I should also add that I just tried changing from #include <SDL.h> to #include "testing.h", which is an empty .h file in the same directory as sdl.go, but that also makes no difference.
