betteralign - structs field alignment static analyzer for Go

• betteralign

  Make your Go programs use less memory (maybe)

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:

• go

  2,067 119,564 10.0 Go

  The Go programming language

  

In case you are wondering why DST and not AST, in general sense AST does not associate comments to nodes, but it holds fixed offsets. Original fieldalignment tool just erases all struct/field/floating comments due to this issue and while there is a CL with a possible fix, it's still a work in progress as of this time.

  structslop is a static analyzer for Go that recommends struct field rearrangements to provide for maximum space/allocation efficiency.

  Decorated Syntax Tree - manipulate Go source with perfect fidelity.

Retaining comments has been done with using DST (Decorated Syntax Tree) with decorating regular AST. Sadly when using DST we cannot use "fix" mode with SuggestedFixes, but we have to print whole DST to retain decorations. Leading/ending comment positioning isn't well retained in some cases and it's still a work in progress.
