This diagnostic was introduced by https://github.com/github/codeql/pull/15979. However in the meantime the Go team [has backtracked](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/62278#issuecomment-2062002018) on their decision, which leads to confusing alerts for user (e.g. https://github.com/github/codeql-action/issues/2868). Even using Go toolchains from 1.21 to 1.22 we weren't immediately able to reproduce the problem that this diagnostics was meant to guard against. Therefore it was deemed simpler to just remove it. _En passant_ the `Makefile` now accepts `rtjo` not being set.
Go analysis support for CodeQL
This sub-folder contains the extractor, CodeQL libraries, and queries that power Go support for CodeQL.
It contains two major components:
- an extractor, itself written in Go, that parses Go source code and converts it into a database that can be queried using CodeQL.
- static analysis libraries and queries written in CodeQL that can be used to analyze such a database to find coding mistakes or security vulnerabilities.
Usage
To analyze a Go codebase, either use the CodeQL command-line interface to create a database yourself, or download a pre-built database from GitHub.com. You can then run any of the queries contained in this repository either on the command line or using the VS Code extension.
