Problem

Tests were passing on macOS (ARM64) but failing on GitHub Actions (Linux x64). The root cause was inconsistent function inlining by the Go compiler across different architectures and compiler versions.

When functions like With, innerWithStack, and callers were inlined, the stack frame count changed, causing runtime.Callers to skip different numbers of frames. This resulted in test file names (error_test.go) missing from stack traces on Linux.

Solution

Added //go:noinline directives to the following functions to ensure consistent stack frame structure:

  • Wrap
  • With
  • innerWithStack
  • callers

This guarantees that runtime.Callers with skip=4 consistently captures the correct caller information regardless of the build environment.

Changes

  • Added //go:noinline to critical stack trace capture functions
  • Improved test error messages to display actual output on failure for easier debugging

Testing

  • ✅ Tests pass on macOS (ARM64)
  • ✅ Tests pass on Linux x64 (verified with Docker)
  • ✅ Tests pass on GitHub Actions (Linux x64)

Performance Impact

Negligible (<0.2%). The overhead of preventing inlining is insignificant compared to the cost of runtime.Callers() and stack trace generation, which are already heavy operations only executed in error paths.

Add //go:noinline directives to ensure consistent stack frame
structure across different architectures and compiler versions.

The issue occurred because Go compiler's inline optimization was
inconsistent between macOS (ARM64) and Linux (x64), causing
runtime.Callers to skip different numbers of frames and miss
the test file names in stack traces.

Changes:
- Add //go:noinline to Wrap, With, innerWithStack, and callers
- Improve error messages in tests to show actual output on failure

This ensures stack traces consistently capture the correct caller
information regardless of the build environment.
