Description
Found a possible issue in [copernet/copernicus](https://www.github.com/copernet/copernicus) at [logic/lmempool/ltxmempool.go](https://github.com/copernet/copernicus/blob/46353c3fb80dbfb0da4546a79351ef2d84ed809d/logic/lmempool/ltxmempool.go#L201-L205)
Below is the message reported by the analyzer for this snippet of code. Beware that the analyzer only reports the first issue it finds, so please do not limit your consideration to the contents of the below message.

Click here to show the 5 line(s) of Go which triggered the analyzer.
```go
for _, preout := range trax.GetAllPreviousOut() {
if coinsMap.SpendCoin(&preout) == nil {
panic(fmt.Sprintf("no spentable coin for prevout(%v)", preout))
}
}
```
Click here to show extra information the analyzer produced.
```
The following graphviz dot graph describes paths through the callgraph that could lead to a function which writes a pointer argument:
digraph G {
"(SpendCoin, 1)" -> {"(GetCoin, 1)";}
"(GetCoin, 1)" -> {"(NewCoinKey, 1)";}
"(NewCoinKey, 1)" -> {}
}
No path was found through the callgraph that could lead to a function which passes a pointer to third-party code.
