cmd/stringer: compile error when constants change

When constant values change but stringer has not
been run again, we can get misleading string values.
Protect against this by generating code that will fail
with a compiler error when this happens.
Most compilers should be smart enough to omit the
code containing the checks.

Go Tools

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.

Download/Install

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.
