If you are developing under Linux, I strongly recommend to try out
valgrind. It can does all of the above, plus a very fine-grained
checking of uninitialized memory access.

Having said that, my experience with GNU Go is the same as has been
described by, I think, Chrilly Donninger: Very few of the bugs are
language specific.
