go/packages: use "=" instead of ":" for special queries This change updates the language accepted through the arguments to packages.Load to make it more consistent. There are now two layers. A pattern containing an "=" is considered to be a special query, and the part of the pattern up to the first "=" is considered the query type. All other patterns are to be interpreted as the build system interprets it. For now two special queries exist. file= has the behavior that contains: did: finding packages containing the given file. The query type pattern= is used to pass through a pattern to be interpreted by the build system. pattern= is a type of escaping to allow passing through patterns that contain an "=" to be interpreted by the underlying buildsystem. To allow for new query types to be introduced, packages.Load will report an error if the qury type is not understood. We expect name= to be added in an upcoming change. "contains:" changes to "file=". A new Change-Id: I1b208d1c998c67d5556cdc872d7694273cedb7e4 Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/141681 Reviewed-by: Alan Donovan <adonovan@google.com>
This subrepository holds the source for various packages and tools that support the Go programming language.
Some of the tools, godoc and vet for example, are included in binary Go distributions.
Others, including the Go guru and the test coverage tool, can be fetched with go get.
Packages include a type-checker for Go and an implementation of the Static Single Assignment form (SSA) representation for Go programs.
The easiest way to install is to run go get -u golang.org/x/tools/.... You can also manually git clone the repository to $GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/tools.
This repository uses Gerrit for code changes. To learn how to submit changes to this repository, see https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html.
The main issue tracker for the tools repository is located at https://github.com/golang/go/issues. Prefix your issue with “x/tools/(your subdir):” in the subject line, so it is easy to find.
