+For the compiled languages C/C++, C#, and Java, {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} builds the code before analyzing it. {% data reusables.code-scanning.analyze-go %}
 
 For many common build systems, the {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql_runner %} can build the code automatically. To attempt to build the code automatically, run `autobuild` between the `init` and `analyze` steps. Note that if your repository requires a specific version of a build tool, you may need to install the build tool manually first.

 ###  About autobuild for {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %}
 
-Code scanning works by running queries against one or more databases. Each database contains a representation of all of the code in a single language in your repository. For the compiled languages C/C++, C#, and Java, the process of populating this database involves building the code and extracting data. In contrast to the other compiled languages, CodeQL can generate a database for Go without building the code.
