Consider the following code:
var p *int
a := []int{0, 1, 2, 3}
for _, i := range a {
if i == 1 {
p = &i
}
}
fmt.Println(*p) // Prints 3
This prints 3 because the variable i is the exact same variable across
all iterations of the loop. When the address is taken for some specific
iteration, the user's intent is to capture the value of i at that
given loop, but instead the value of i in the last loop is what remains.
A bug this sort occurs in the check logic since the address of the
knownKey is taken, but is changed upon subsequent iterations of the
loop (which happens when there are multiple lines).
