cmd/compile: improve error message for non-final variadic parameter
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Previously, when a function signature had defined a non-final variadic
parameter, the error message always referred to the type associated with that
parameter. However, if the offending parameter's name was part of an identifier
list with a variadic type, one could misinterpret the message, thinking the
problem had been with one of the other names in the identifer list.

    func bar(a, b ...int) {}
clear ~~~~~~~^       ^~~~~~~~ confusing

This change updates the error message and sets the column position to that of
the offending parameter's name, if it exists.

Fixes #28450.
