betteralign - structs field alignment static analyzer for Go
I've written betteralign, a tool to detect structs that would use less memory if their fields were sorted and optionally sort such fields. Truth be told, there are a few projects already doing this task perfectly such as fieldalignment, maligned and structslop so you might wonder why should you bother with checking this tool at all. This is a fork of an official Go fieldalignment tool and vast majority of the alignment code has remained the same. There are however some notable changes:
-
Saving a Third of Our Memory by Re-Ordering Go Struct Fields
The standard way to check for these was https://github.com/mdempsky/maligned. It is now deprecated in favour of https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/tools/go/analysis/passes/fie....
You can now check for these using go vet:
go install golang.org/x/tools/go/analysis/passes/fieldalignment/cmd/fieldalignment@latest

GitHub - orijtech/structslop: structslop is a static analyzer for Go that recommends struct field rearrangements to provide for maximum space/allocation efficiency.
I believe I have mentioned structslop just the other day when I have mentioned betteralign. Both fieldalignment (and original maligned) and structslop are great, but there are some smallish details that could be improved upon such as atomic I/O when rewriting source files, ability to skip test and/or generated files or even skip specific specific structs; and automatic GOMAXPROCS and GOMEMLIMIT tuneup when running under containers (such as in some CI pipeline). In any case, if you find this tool something that works for you, I would also appreciate if you could take a look at betteralign.
