31 Rust 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 code linter to catch common mistakes and improve your Rust code.

Audit Cargo.lock for crates with security vulnerabilities reported to the [RustSec Advisory Database](https://github.com/RustSec/advisory-db/).

Supports functionality such as 'goto definition', type inference, symbol search, reformatting, and code completion, and enables renaming and refactorings.

A tool for formatting Rust code according to style guidelines.

Checks all your documentation for spelling and grammar mistakes with hunspell (ready) and languagetool (preview)

Find unused dependencies in Cargo.toml. It either prints out a "unused crates" line listing the crates, or it prints out a line saying that no crates were unused.

Supports functionality such as 'goto definition', symbol search, reformatting, and code completion, and enables renaming and refactorings.

Find out what takes most of the space in your executable. supports ELF (Linux, BSD), Mach-O (macOS) and PE (Windows) binaries.

Cargo subcommand to show result of macro expansion and #[derive] expansion applied to the current crate. This is a wrapper around a more verbose compiler command.

Inspect Rust code without syntactic sugar to see what the compiler does behind the curtains.

And abstract interpreter operating on Rust's mid-level intermediate language, and providing warnings based on taint analysis.

Linter for integrating annotated TODOs with your issue trackers

A Simple and Comprehensive Vulnerability Scanner for Containers and other Artifacts, Suitable for CI. Trivy detects vulnerabilities of OS packages (Alpine, RHEL, CentOS, etc.) and application dependencies (Bundler, Composer, npm, yarn, etc.). Checks containers and filesystems.

C2Rust helps you migrate C99-compliant code to Rust. The translator (or transpiler) produces unsafe Rust code that closely mirrors the input C code.

A cargo plugin for linting your dependencies. It can be used either as a command line too, a Rust crate, or a Github action for CI. It checks for valid license information, duplicate crates, security vulnerabilities, and more.

A tool for running Rust lints from dynamic libraries. Dylint makes it easy for developers to maintain their own personal lint collections.

A tool for formally verifying Rust programs by transpiling them into definitions in the Lean theorem prover.

Read and apply the suggestions made by rustc (and third-party lints, like those offered by clippy).

RustViz is a tool that generates visualizations from simple Rust programs to assist users in better understanding the Rust Lifetime and Borrowing mechanism. It generates SVG files with graphical indicators that integrate with mdbook to render visualizations of data-flow in Rust programs.

Scan is a free open-source DevSecOps platform for detecting security issues in source code and dependencies. It supports a broad range of languages and CI/CD pipelines.

Adds warnings or errors to your crate when using a numerically unstable floating point expression.

Linting your Rust-files in Atom, using rustc and cargo.

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.

Provides a convenient macro that allows you to generate type wrappers that promise to always uphold arbitrary invariants that you specified.

A static verifier for Rust, based on the Viper verification infrastructure. By default Prusti verifies absence of panics by proving that statements such as unreachable!() and panic!() are unreachable.

Audit Rust binaries for known bugs or security vulnerabilities. This works by embedding data about the dependency tree (Cargo.lock) in JSON format into a dedicated linker section of the compiled executable.

Show unused code from multi-crate Rust projects

Reports known vulnerabilities in common dependencies and recommends updated packages to minimize breaking changes
