ineffassign
Detects ineffectual assignments in Go code where variables are assigned but never used.
What is ineffassign?
ineffassign is a static analysis tool for Go that detects ineffectual assignments in code, where a variable is assigned a value but never used afterward. It helps developers identify and remove unnecessary code to improve efficiency and maintainability. The tool focuses on this specific issue without performing full type analysis, making it fast and straightforward.
Go developers and teams looking to improve code quality by eliminating dead or redundant code, particularly those integrating linting tools into their development workflow.
Developers choose ineffassign for its reliability in detecting ineffectual assignments with zero false positives, its simplicity in integration, and its focus on a common code smell without the overhead of complex analysis.
