Complex Methods of Static Code Analysis in Go: Combination of Classical Approaches and Modern Tools

Abstract

The paper explores comprehensive approaches to static code analysis for Go, highlighting both foundational theory and advanced practical applications. After examining theoretical constructs—such as abstract syntax trees and rule-based detection—this work presents an overview of current trends, including aggregators like GolangCI-Lint. Attention is given to integrating specialized linters (e.g., misspell, unparam, prealloc, bearer) to bolster detection accuracy and address security vulnerabilities. Through detailed practical examples, the article illustrates how automated reports in pull requests facilitate early bug identification and remediation. Configuration strategies for continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines are also outlined, focusing on harnessing multi-layered analysis for improved coverage. Concluding remarks emphasize the importance of combined static analysis tools, domain-specific checkers, and regular inspections to achieve high levels of reliability, readability, and security in Go codebases.
