internal/godoc/codec: decoding unsigned ints

This CL adds the method for decoding unsigned ints, and a test.

It also introduces how error-handling is done in the Decoder.
Decoding is a complex, recursive process, so instead of explicit
error-handling I adopt an exception-like mechanism that uses panic.
This greatly simplifies the code, since functions don't constantly
have to check for errors on every call.  Using panic in this way is
idiomatic for these sorts of recursive procedures; see, for example,
go/parser.ParseFile. In a later CL, I will show the main Decode
method, which recovers from the panic raise by Decoder.fail and
returns an error the usual way.

Pkg.go.dev

A site for discovering Go packages

Pkg.go.dev is a website for discovering and evaluating Go packages and modules.

You can check it out at https://pkg.go.dev.

Roadmap

Pkg.go.dev launched in November 2019, and is currently under active development by the Go team.

Here's what we are currently working on:

  • Design updates: We have some design changes planned for pkg.go.dev, to address UX feedback that we have received. You can expect a more cohesive search and navigation experience coming soon. We plan to share these designs for feedback once they are ready.

  • Godoc.org redirect: Longer term, we are working towards redirecting godoc.org traffic to pkg.go.dev. We know that there are features available on godoc.org that users want to see on pkg.go.dev, and we want to ensure that we address these. We’ve been keeping track of issues related to redirecting godoc.org traffic on Go issue #39144. These issues will be prioritized in the next few months. We also plan to continue improving our license detection algorithm.

  • Search improvements: We’ll be improving our search experience based on feedback in Go issue #37810, to make it easier for users to find the dependencies they are looking for and make better decisions around which ones to import.

We encourage everyone to begin using pkg.go.dev today for all of their needs and to file feedback! You can redirect all of your requests from godoc.org to pkg.go.dev, by clicking Always use pkg.go.dev at the top of any page on godoc.org.

Issues

If you want to report a bug or have a feature suggestion, please first check the known issues to see if your issue is already being discussed. If an issue does not already exist, feel free to file an issue.

For answers to frequently asked questions, see go.dev/about.

You can also chat with us on the #tools slack channel on the Gophers slack.
