splint
splint is a little Go application to analyze Go source files. It finds any functions that are
too long or have too many parameters or results.
These are typical signs that a function is doing too much. We find splint to be a helpful tool
for detecting potential problem areas in our code, areas that should be refactored. We tolerate long
functions and functions with long parameter/result lists when they are needed, but generally try to
keep them short.
Installation
Use go install:
go install github.com/agflow/splint

Overview ¶
splint is a little Go application to analyze Go source files. It finds any functions that are too long or have too many parameters or results.
find . -name "*.go" -exec splint {} \; By default, splint will inform you of any functions that are more than 30 statements long, have more than five parameters, or have more than five results.
You can change these values with command line flags. -s sets the statement count threshold, -p sets the parameter count threshold, and -r sets the result count threshold. Check for all functions with more than 50 statements, 10 parameters, 7 results: splint -s=50 -p=10 -r=7 **/*.go
