77 Go Static Analysis Tools

Mega-Linter can handle any type of project thanks to its 70+ embedded Linters, its advanced reporting, runnable on any CI system or locally, with assisted installation and configuration, able to apply formatting and fixes

A fast, open-source, static analysis tool for finding bugs and enforcing code standards at editor, commit, and CI time. Its rules look like the code you already write; no abstract syntax trees or regex wrestling. Supports 17+ languages.

Better Code Hub checks your GitHub codebase against 10 engineering guidelines devised by the authority in software quality, Software Improvement Group.

In-depth static analysis to find issues in verticals of bug risks, security, anti-patterns, performance, documentation and style. Native integrations with GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket. Less than 5% false positives.

Checks missing or unreferenced package imports.

Prints out coding style mistakes in Go source code.

Check that error return values are used.

Finds unused code.

Code Analysis to ship Better Code, Faster.

Reports variables that may have been unintentionally shadowed.

Package ast declares the types used to represent syntax trees for Go packages.

Enables code auditors and security teams to interactively investigate their unique code bases to find business logic flaws and technical vulnerabilities that traditional SASTs cannot. This is done by enabling the analyst to write their own custom queries. Can find hard-coded secrets, authentication issues, and malicious code like rootkits and backdoors.

Find unused struct fields.

Linter for integrating annotated TODOs with your issue trackers

Detect redundant type conversions.

Wrap and fix Go errors with the new %w verb directive. This tool analyzes fmt.Errorf() calls and reports calls that contain a verb directive that is different than the new %w verb directive introduced in Go v1.13. It's also capable of rewriting calls to use the new %w wrap verb directive.

Finds repeated strings that could be replaced by a constant.

Golang security analysis with a focus on minimizing false positives. It is capable of tracing the source of variables and function arguments to determine whether input sources are safe.

Syntactic and semantic analysis similar to the Go compiler.

Comments on style violations in GitHub pull requests. Supports Coffeescript, Go, HAML, JavaScript, Ruby, SCSS and Swift.

Report long lines.

Detect structs that would take less memory if their fields were sorted.

Finds unused arguments in function declarations.

A lightweight static code analyzer designed for developers and security teams. It allows you to analyze and transform source code with an intuitive DSL similar to sed, but for code.

An interactive tool to analyze Golang goroutine dump.

Lizard is an extensible Cyclomatic Complexity Analyzer for many programming languages including C/C++ (doesn't require all the header files or Java imports). It also does copy-paste detection (code clone detection/code duplicate detection) and many other forms of static code analysis. Counts lines of code without comments, CCN (cyclomatic complexity number), token count of functions, parameter count of functions.

Finds naked returns.
