tools: replace references to obsolete package ioutils

ioutil defines 7 functions. 6 of these are replaced by
functions in io or os with the same signature.
ReadDir is deprecated, but the suggested replacement has a different
signature.

These changes were generated by a program, with some manual adjutments.
The program replaces ReadDir with a call to a function named ioutilReadDir
that has the same signature. The code for this function
is added to files if necessary. The program replaces all the others
with their new versions. The program removes the 'io/ioutil' import
and adds, as necessary, 'os', 'io', and 'io/fs', the latter being
needed for the signature of ioutilReadDir.

The automatic process fails in a few ways:
1. ReadFile occurs only in a comment but the program adds an unneeded import.
2. ioutilReadDir is added to more than one file in the same package
Both of these could be viewed as bugs and fixed by looking harder.

After manual adjustment, two tests failed:
1. gopls/internal/lsp/regtesg/mis:TestGenerateProgress. The reason
	 was a use of ioutil in a txtar constant. The calls were changed,
	 but the code is not smart enough to change the import inside the
	 string constant. (Or it's not smart enough not to change the
	 contents of a string.)
2. gopls/internal/lsp/analysis/deprecated, which wants to see a use
	 of ioutil

These tests were adjused by hand, and all tests (-short) pass.

Go Tools

PkgGoDev

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/expect reads Go source files used as test inputs and interprets special comments within them as queries or assertions for testing.

  • 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.

Contributing

This repository uses Gerrit for code changes. To learn how to submit changes, 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.

JavaScript and CSS Formatting

This repository uses prettier to format JS and CSS files.

The version of prettier used is 1.18.2.

It is encouraged that all JS and CSS code be run through this before submitting a change. However, it is not a strict requirement enforced by CI.
