Defer Loop Linter

A simple linter to find defer statements inside of for loops in Go source.

This is a fork from gsquire/dll with support for concurrent analyse. The goal of it was to practice the work with goroutines.

Why?

It's often erroneous to use defer inside of a loop as it can lead to memory leaks or other unintended behavior. It can also be easy to miss this in a code review as using defer to close sockets or files is a common Go idiom. This tool aims to point these out by simply printing the line of a defer statement when it is found inside of a loop.

Install

go get github.com/gsquire/dll

Usage
