Detect optional db struct #405
Description
I tried nilaway over a piece of code that recentely had a panic.
// definition
type Event struct {
...
Indexes *Indexes `gorm:"embedded;embeddedPrefix:indexes_"`
}In another file
// Indexes was nil
event.Indexes.Anythingnilaway didn't detect this while It seemed quite an obvious panic risk

@tchaton tracking of struct pointer fields is currently not enabled by default in NilAway, since it can incur a significant performance overhead. You can turn on the flag experimental-struct-init to enable this tracking.
