// Package importer defines the Importer, which loads, parses and
// type-checks packages of Go code plus their transitive closure, and
// retains both the ASTs and the derived facts.
//
// CONCEPTS AND TERMINOLOGY
//
// An AD-HOC package is one specified as a set of source files on the
// command line.  In the simplest case, it may consist of a single file
// such as src/pkg/net/http/triv.go.
//
// EXTERNAL TEST packages are those comprised of a set of *_test.go
// files all with the same 'package foo_test' declaration, all in the
// same directory.  (go/build.Package calls these files XTestFiles.)
//
// An IMPORTABLE package is one that can be referred to by some import
// spec.  Ad-hoc packages and external test packages are non-importable.
// The importer and its clients must be careful not to assume that
// the import path of a package may be used for a name-based lookup.
// For example, a pointer analysis scope may consist of two initial
// (ad-hoc) packages both called "main".
//
// An AUGMENTED package is an importable package P plus all the
// *_test.go files with same 'package foo' declaration as P.
// (go/build.Package calls these files TestFiles.)
// An external test package may depend upon members of the augmented
// package that are not in the unaugmented package, such as functions
// that expose internals.  (See bufio/export_test.go for an example.)
// So, the importer must ensure that for each external test package
// it loads, it also augments the corresponding non-test package.
//
// The import graph over n unaugmented packages must be acyclic; the
// import graph over n-1 unaugmented packages plus one augmented
// package must also be acyclic.  ('go test' relies on this.)  But the
// import graph over n augmented packages may contain cycles, and
// currently, go/types is incapable of handling such inputs, so the
// Importer will only augment (and create an external test package
// for) the first import path specified on the command-line.
//

const InitialPackagesUsage = `
<args> is a list of arguments denoting a set of initial packages.
Each argument may take one of two forms:

1. A comma-separated list of *.go source files.

   All of the specified files are loaded, parsed and type-checked
   as a single package.  The name of the package is taken from the
   files' package declarations, which must all be equal.  All the
   files must belong to the same directory.

2. An import path.

   The package's directory is found relative to the $GOROOT and
   $GOPATH using similar logic to 'go build', and the *.go files in
   that directory are loaded, parsed and type-checked as a single
   package.

   In addition, all *_test.go files in the directory are then loaded
   and parsed.  Those files whose package declaration equals that of
   the non-*_test.go files are included in the primary package.  Test
   files whose package declaration ends with "_test" are type-checked
   as another package, the 'external' test package, so that a single
   import path may denote two packages.  This behaviour may be
   disabled by prefixing the import path with "notest:",
   e.g. "notest:fmt".

   Due to current limitations in the type-checker, only the first
   import path of the command line will contribute any tests.

A '--' argument terminates the list of packages.
