github.com/gm42/go-tools
github.com/gm42/go-tools is a collection of tools and libraries for
working with Go code, including linters and static analysis.
This is a fork of the original go-tools by dominikh, if you wish to support it go to patrons on Patreon; original project has a commercial version now with commercial support.
Notable changes
- uses as much as possible upstream tools packages (forked to add e-SSA)
Tools
All of the following tools can be found in the cmd/ directory. Each tool is accompanied by its own README, describing it in more detail.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| gosimple | Detects code that could be rewritten in a simpler way. |
| keyify | Transforms an unkeyed struct literal into a keyed one. |
| rdeps | Find all reverse dependencies of a set of packages |
| staticcheck | Detects a myriad of bugs and inefficiencies in your code. |
| structlayout | Displays the layout (field sizes and padding) of structs. |
| structlayout-optimize | Reorders struct fields to minimize the amount of padding. |
| structlayout-pretty | Formats the output of structlayout with ASCII art. |
| unused | Reports unused identifiers (types, functions, ...) in your code. |
| gochk | Run staticcheck, gosimple and unused in one go |
Libraries
In addition to the aforementioned tools, this repository contains the libraries necessary to implement these tools.
Unless otherwise noted, none of these libraries have stable APIs. Their main purpose is to aid the implementation of the tools. If you decide to use these libraries, please vendor them and expect regular backwards-incompatible changes.
