Staticcheck is an advanced linter for the Go programming language that uses static analysis to find bugs, performance issues, and simplification opportunities while enforcing style rules. It ships as a command-line tool with 150+ low-false-positive checks, integrates with CI pipelines and major Go editors via gopls, and includes auxiliary tools for analyzing struct memory layout.

Use cases

• lint go code for bugs and performance issues
• run static analysis on a go project in ci
• find deprecated api usage in go code
• simplify overly complex go code
• check struct field padding and memory layout
• enforce style rules across a go codebase

When to choose

• you write Go and want a high-quality linter with few false positives
• you need reliable static analysis that runs in CI without spurious failures
• you want editor-integrated diagnostics and automatic fixes via gopls

When to avoid

• you need linting for languages other than Go
• you want to depend on its internal libraries as stable APIs
• you need highly customizable rule authoring beyond its configuration options
