Use go/packages instead of x/tools/loader: it allows to work
with go modules and speedups loading of packages with the help
of build cache.
A lot of linters became "fast": they are enabled by --fast now and
work in 1-2 seconds. Only unparam, interfacer and megacheck
are "slow" linters now.
Average project is analyzed 20-40% faster than before if all linters are
enabled! If we enable all linters except unparam, interfacer and
megacheck analysis is 10-20x faster!
1. Rename in a backward compatible way
2. Remove gosec default exclude list because gosec is already disabled
by default.
3. Warn about unmatched linter names in //nolint directives
4. Process linter names in //nolint directives in upper case
5. Disable gosec for golangci-lint in .golangci.yml
1. Support unparam linter and fix found issues
2. Replace forked mvdan.cc/lint and mvdan.cc/interfacer with the
upstream ones
3. Minimize forked megacheck: move the most of it's code to this repo
4. Use golang.org/x/tools/go/ssa import path instead of custom fork
paths
5. In golang.org/x/tools/go/{ssa,callgraph} use changed code from
honnef.co/go/tools
6. Add megacheck.check-unexported option: it found some issues in
the repo, fixed them all
We skip all issues from autogenerated files.
Also reuse AST parsing for nolint and autogenerated exclude processors:
decrease processing time on golang source code from 3s to 800ms.
Use build.Import instead of manual parser.ParseFile and paths traversal. It allows:
1. support build tags for all linters.
2. analyze files only for current GOOS/GOARCH: less false-positives.
3. analyze xtest packages (*_test) by golint: upstream golint and
gometalinter can't do it! And don't break analysis on the first xtest
package like it was before.
4. proper handling of xtest packages for linters like goconst where
package boundary is important: less false-positives is expected.
Also:
1. reuse AST parsing for golint and goconst: minor speedup.
2. allow to specify path (not only name) regexp for --skip-files and
--skip-dirs
3. add more default exclude filters for golint about commits:
`(comment on exported (method|function)|should have( a package)?
comment|comment should be of the form)`
4. print skipped dir in verbose (-v) mode
5. refactor per-linter tests: declare arguments in comments, run only
one linter and in combination with slow linter
