Click here to show the 9 line(s) of Go which triggered the analyzer.
```go
for _, discovered := range onCluster.Items {
restore := &model.PodVolumeRestore{
Base: model.Base{
Cluster: r.ds.Cluster.PK,
},
}
restore.With(&discovered)
models = append(models, restore)
}

No path was found through the callgraph that could lead to a function which writes a pointer argument.
The following graphviz dot graph describes paths through the callgraph that could lead to a function which passes a pointer to third-party code:
digraph G {
"(With, 1)" -> {"(EncodeObject, 1)";}
"(EncodeObject, 1)" -> {}
}
```
