This CL makes it possible to resolve DNS names on OS X
without offending the Application-Level Firewall.
It also means that cross-compiling from one operating
system to another is no longer possible when using
package net, because cgo needs to be able to sniff around
the local C libraries. We could special-case this one use
and check in generated files, but it seems more trouble
than it's worth. Cross compiling is dead anyway.
It is still possible to use either GOARCH=amd64 or GOARCH=386
on typical Linux and OS X x86 systems.
It is also still possible to build GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm on
any system, because arm is for now excluded from this change
(there is no cgo for arm yet).

This CL gives goinstall the ability to build commands,
not just packages.
"goinstall foo.googlecode.com/hg/bar" will build the command named
"bar" and install it to GOBIN. "goinstall ." will use the name of the
local directory as the command name.

* Accept armored private key blocks
* If an armored block is missing, return an InvalidArgumentError,
rather than ignoring it.
* If every key in a block is skipped due to being unsupported,
return the last unsupported error.
* Include the numeric type of unsupported public keys.
* Don't assume that the self-signature comes immediately after the
user id packet.

This pulls in changes that should have been in 3faf9d0c10c0, but
weren't because x509.go was part of another changelist.

People have a need to verify certificates in situations other than TLS
client handshaking. Thus this CL moves certificate verification into
x509 and expands its abilities.

* Reduces malloc counts during gob encoder/decoder test from 6/6 to 3/5.
The current reflect uses Set to mean two subtly different things.
(1) If you have a reflect.Value v, it might just represent
itself (as in v = reflect.NewValue(42)), in which case calling
v.Set only changed v, not any other data in the program.
(2) If you have a reflect Value v derived from a pointer
or a slice (as in x := []int{42}; v = reflect.NewValue(x).Index(0)),
v represents the value held there. Changing x[0] affects the
value returned by v.Int(), and calling v.Set affects x[0].
This was not really by design; it just happened that way.
The motivation for the new reflect implementation was
to remove mallocs. The use case (1) has an implicit malloc
inside it. If you can do:
v := reflect.NewValue(0)
v.Set(42)
i := v.Int() // i = 42
then that implies that v is referring to some underlying
chunk of memory in order to remember the 42; that is,
NewValue must have allocated some memory.
Almost all the time you are using reflect the goal is to
inspect or to change other data, not to manipulate data
stored solely inside a reflect.Value.
This CL removes use case (1), so that an assignable
reflect.Value must always refer to some other piece of data
in the program. Put another way, removing this case would
make
v := reflect.NewValue(0)
v.Set(42)
as illegal as
0 = 42.
It would also make this illegal:
x := 0
v := reflect.NewValue(x)
v.Set(42)
for the same reason. (Note that right now, v.Set(42) "succeeds"
but does not change the value of x.)
If you really wanted to make v refer to x, you'd start with &x
and dereference it:
x := 0
v := reflect.NewValue(&x).Elem() // v = *&x
v.Set(42)
It's pretty rare, except in tests, to want to use NewValue and then
call Set to change the Value itself instead of some other piece of
data in the program. I haven't seen it happen once yet while
making the tree build with this change.
For the same reasons, reflect.Zero (formerly reflect.MakeZero)
would also return an unassignable, unaddressable value.
This invalidates the (awkward) idiom:
pv := ... some Ptr Value we have ...
v := reflect.Zero(pv.Type().Elem())
pv.PointTo(v)
which, when the API changed, turned into:
pv := ... some Ptr Value we have ...
v := reflect.Zero(pv.Type().Elem())
pv.Set(v.Addr())
In both, it is far from clear what the code is trying to do. Now that
it is possible, this CL adds reflect.New(Type) Value that does the
obvious thing (same as Go's new), so this code would be replaced by:
pv := ... some Ptr Value we have ...
pv.Set(reflect.New(pv.Type().Elem()))
The changes just described can be confusing to think about,
but I believe it is because the old API was confusing - it was
conflating two different kinds of Values - and that the new API
by itself is pretty simple: you can only Set (or call Addr on)
a Value if it actually addresses some real piece of data; that is,
only if it is the result of dereferencing a Ptr or indexing a Slice.
If you really want the old behavior, you'd get it by translating:
v := reflect.NewValue(x)
into
v := reflect.New(reflect.Typeof(x)).Elem()
v.Set(reflect.NewValue(x))
Gofix will not be able to help with this, because whether
and how to change the code depends on whether the original
code meant use (1) or use (2), so the developer has to read
and think about the code.
You can see the effect on packages in the tree in
