When using
atomic.Value
it will panic if the error is a struct implementing the error interface and an error as been registered.From https://pkg.go.dev/sync/atomic#Value.Store,
Store sets the value of the Value to x. All calls to Store for a given Value must use values of the same concrete type. Store of an inconsistent type panics, as does Store(nil).
Check this example. https://play.golang.org/p/N5Zp15o_AoE
We recently found this error at https://github.com/ava-labs/ when a custom error was returned from
rawdb.ReadBloomBits
.Kudos to https://github.com/StephenButtolph for writing the code.
