go-mnd - Magic number detector for Golang
A vet analyzer to detect magic numbers.
What is a magic number?
A magic number is a numeric literal that is not defined as a constant, but which may change, and therefore can be hard to update. It's considered a bad programming practice to use numbers directly in any source code without an explanation. It makes programs harder to read, understand, and maintain.
Project status

This analyzer requires Golang in version >= 1.12 because it's depends on the go/analysis API.

Options
The -checks
option let's you define a comma separated list of checks.
The -ignored-numbers
option let's you define a comma separated list of numbers to ignore.
For example: -ignored-numbers=1000,10_000,3.14159264
The -ignored-functions
option let's you define a comma separated list of function name regexp patterns to exclude.
For example: -ignored-functions=math.*,http.StatusText
The -ignored-files
option let's you define a comma separated list of filename regexp patterns to exclude.
For example: -ignored-files=magic_.*.go,.*_numbers.go
Checks
By default this detector analyses arguments, assigns, cases, conditions, operations and return statements.
- argument
t := http.StatusText(200)
- assign
c := &http.Client{
Timeout: 5 * time.Second,
}
- case
switch x {
case 3:
}
- condition
if x > 7 {
}
- operation
var x, y int
y = 10 * x
- return
return 3
Excludes
By default the numbers 0 and 1 as well as test files are excluded!
Further known excludes
The function "Date" in the "Time" package.
t := time.Date(2017, time.September, 26, 12, 13, 14, 0, time.UTC)
Additional custom excludes can be defined via option flag.
