Click here to show the 4 line(s) of Go which triggered the analyzer.
```go
for _, bucket := range buckets {
io.WriteString(out, p.BucketHeader(&bucket, fullPath, len(buckets) > 1))
io.WriteString(out, p.StackLines(&bucket.Signature, srcLen, pkgLen, fullPath))
}
```

No path was found through the callgraph that could lead to a function which writes a pointer argument.
No path was found through the callgraph that could lead to a function which passes a pointer to third-party code.
root signature {BucketHeader 3} was not found in the callgraph; reference was passed directly to third-party code
