Using gocritic via golangci-lint:

@cristaloleg: Oof. Do you have a full stacktrace?@ptman: ```

```@cristaloleg: Hopefully this will be fixed in https://github.com/go-critic/go-critic/releases/tag/v0.14.1 (regular `x/` bump fixes such failures).@ldez: As the panic happens inside golangci-lint, a bump of `golang.org/x/tools` will have no impact: we already use the latest version.

@ldez: I don't reproduce the problem:

```console
$ go run ./cmd/go-critic/ check -enableAll ./...
$
$ go install github.com/go-critic/go-critic/cmd/go-critic@v0.14.1
$ go-critic check -enableAll ./...
$
```
@ldez: can you provide a reproducible example?@ptman: I have no idea which part of our private codebase triggers it. 0.13.0 worked. 0.14.0 doesn't.@ptman: Ah, dupOption is new in 0.14.0, so that's clearly the cause. https://github.com/go-critic/go-critic/blob/5182ddd4c454f34f0fdf991887bbd7ae16223bbc/checkers/dupOption_checker.go#L79@ptman: @alingse @alexandear @ldez: Obviously, this is the cause, but we need to understand why.

Without a reproducible example, it will take time to find the right fix.
@alingse: the `last := sign.Params().Len() - 1` is 2 but the call.Args length is 1, it might be call a options func without options.@ldez: I already tried without options, and there is no panic.@alingse: try this code, the compile is not completed, so the real call.Args's length is 1

```go
package main

type Config struct {}
type Option func(*Config)

func NewService(name string, op Option, options ...Option) *Config {
    return nil
}

func main() {
    // This call will trigger the go-critic panic
    NewService("worker")
}
```
and
```
go-critic check -enableAll ./...
```

and it cause panic

```

```@ptman: our codebase compiles@cristaloleg: @ptman can you bisect failure by packages, please? I assume there is no that many option-like definitions and probably calls.@cristaloleg: @alingse most (if not all) linters assume that the input code is syntactically correct and compilable.

Without this assumption, checking the code’s logic is impossible. So if the code doesn’t compile without errors, expecting meaningful results from a linter is asking too much.@ldez: And inside golangci-lint, the compilation error is detected:

```console

@cristaloleg: @ptman do you've a build tags in your project? There might be a case when project compiles BUT there is also a code under build tag that doesn't but it's still checked by the linters.@ldez: I found how to reproduce 🎉 @ldez: I will open a PR.@ldez: This is tricky: you need to use a function A that returns the parameters of the function B.
@ldez: At the end, the fix is trivial, but finding a reproducible example was complex.

The PR -> #1516
