go/ssa: support pointer-typed composite literals in all contexts
In go1.28 (#12854), a composite literal may omit its type in any
assignment context; if the type is implicit and is a pointer *T,
it denotes &T{...}.
Previously this was possible only for nested literals (handled
by builder.assign), but now such literals may appear in other
contexts (call arguments, etc) all of which reach expr0.
It used to load a T value where a *T was required, causing a crash.
Now, expr0 treats a pointer type as an implicit &-operation.
This actually eliminates a number of special cases.
Recalling the recent change CL 778401, there is now no
difference at all between nested and non-nested literals.
This allows us to rip out the isZero machinery and the
storebuf parameter to compLit. Yay.

This repository provides the golang.org/x/tools module, comprising various tools and packages mostly for static analysis of Go programs, some of which are listed below. Use the “Go reference” link above for more information about any package.
It also contains the golang.org/x/tools/gopls module, whose root package is a language-server protocol (LSP) server for Go. An LSP server analyses the source code of a project and responds to requests from a wide range of editors such as VSCode and Vim, allowing them to support IDE-like functionality.
Selected commands:
cmd/goimports formats a Go program like go fmt and additionally inserts import statements for any packages required by the file after it is edited.cmd/callgraph prints the call graph of a Go program.cmd/digraph is a utility for manipulating directed graphs in textual notation.cmd/stringer generates declarations (including a String method) for “enum” types.cmd/toolstash is a utility to simplify working with multiple versions of the Go toolchain.These commands may be fetched with a command such as
go install golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports@latest
Selected packages:
go/ssa provides a static single-assignment form (SSA) intermediate representation (IR) for Go programs, similar to a typical compiler, for use by analysis tools.
go/packages provides a simple interface for loading, parsing, and type checking a complete Go program from source code.
go/analysis provides a framework for modular static analysis of Go programs.
go/callgraph provides call graphs of Go programs using a variety of algorithms with different trade-offs.
go/ast/inspector provides an optimized means of traversing a Go parse tree for use in analysis tools.
go/cfg provides a simple control-flow graph (CFG) for a Go function.
go/gcexportdata and go/gccgoexportdata read and write the binary files containing type information used by the standard and gccgo compilers.
go/types/objectpath provides a stable naming scheme for named entities (“objects”) in the go/types API.
Numerous other packages provide more esoteric functionality.
