Report missing godoc comments

[knweiss]

I'm not sure if megacheck is the right command for this but I would love to see an optional feature that reports missing godoc comments (at least for exported functions).

Or is there already an existing tool for this functionality that I'm not aware of?

I believe this is one of the primary uses of golint.

@shurcooL Ah, golint is what I was missing. Thank you!

Can this be revived in light of golang/go#38968

[dominikh]

@bufdev Yes. This is on my todo list.

Came here to say I was surprised when suddenly VSCode had stopped reporting missing godoc comments on my exported types and values. That's when I noticed the default linter is now staticcheck! It's been almost a year since the last comment on this issue -- please re-open it soon 👍
