comment directives don't work with Go toolchain v1.22.x versions when no go.mod
files are involvedfor-range
and tranditional for;;
loops. Since the semantic changes alter the behavior of existing code written according to the previous semantics, they break backward compatibility.
for-range
loops are almost unaffected, traditional for;;
loops exhibit unexpected behaviors due to the breakage.

go run
command (without a go.mod
file involved), the example program prints [13 0]
with Go toolchain 1.22.x versions, due to Go 1.22+ semantics are used, which is wrongly. It should prints [17 13]
, as with older and newer toolchain versions.
