Golang (short for Go programming language) is a fast and compiled language, which has been increasingly used in industry due to its excellent performance on concurrent programming. Golang redefines concurrent programming grammar, making it a challenge for traditional clone detection tools and techniques. However, there exist few tools for detecting duplicates or copy-paste related bugs in Golang. Therefore, an effective and efficient code clone detector on Golang is especially needed.
