Design and Implementation of a Static Analyzer for the Kotlin Programming Language
This paper presents the design and implementation of "Rough Analyzer," a static analysis tool for the Kotlin programming language. Modern software engineering requires writing scalable and maintainable code, and our tool assists in this by detecting code complexity, stylistic issues, and logical errors that the compiler often misses. The analyzer that we propose leverages abstract syntax tree traversal to identify issues such as high cyclomatic complexity, long functions, and magic numbers. The architecture is designed to be modular and easily extensible, allowing teams to add custom rules. We demonstrate the tool’s effectiveness on a real-world Kotlin project, showcasing its potential to improve code quality and reduce technical debt.
