Click here to show the 7 line(s) of Go which triggered the analyzer.

```go
for _, event := range roomData.Timeline.Events {
if event.StateKey != nil {
event.RoomID = roomID
room.UpdateState(&event)
s.notifyListeners(&event)
}
}

```

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 {
"(UpdateState, 1)" -> {}
}

No path was found through the callgraph that could lead to a function which passes a pointer to third-party code.
