See analysis.go for overview of new features.
See README for known bugs and issues.
Much UI polish, testing and optimization work remains, but
this is a starting point.
Flag: we add a new flag -analysis=type,pointer, default "",
for adventurous users only at this stage.
Type analysis takes ~10s for stdlib + go.tools;
Pointer analysis (currently) takes several minutes.
Dependencies: we now include jquery.treeview.js and its GIF
images among the resources. (bake.go now handles binary.)

It's pointless.
Also this fixes a crash, because the blank identifier no longer appears as a
defined object after CL 74190043 so we were getting nil pointer violations.
Even better, we get to re-enable a disabled test.

Now we can say
vet -printf=false
to disable the printf test but run all others.
Implemented by creating a tri-state boolean flag that records whether it has been
set explicitly; before this, -printf=false was not distinguishable from not having
mentioned the printf flag at all.

Over time, a number of modules were added that used Warn instead of Bad
to report problems with the code, but the documentation states that
if there is a problem, the exit code must be 1, not 0. Warn does not set the
exit code and should be used only for internal errors and messages
triggered by the -v flag.
There's nothing substantive here except calling the other function in a few
places.

The old code was misleading in saying how many args were present.
Change the wording of the message to be unambiguous and change
the presentation of the format to include the full directive, making
it easier to correlate with the input (and fixing a silent bug).

An identifier X in anonymous struct field struct{X} is both a
definition of a field (*Var) and reference to a type
(*TypeName). Now that we have split the map, we can capture
both of these aspects.
Interestingly, every client but one was going to extra effort
to iterate over just the uses or just the defs; this
simplifies them.
Also, fix two bug related to tagless switches:
- An entry was being recorded in the Object map for a piece of
synthetic syntax.
- The "true" identifier was being looked up in the current scope,
which allowed perverse users to locally redefine it. Now
we use the bool (not untyped boolean) constant true, per the
consequent clarification of the spec (issue 7404).
+ tests.

benchcmp now preserves benchmark order. This restores the original
misc/benchcmp behavior. This also makes the output of benchcmp stable,
and groups together multiple -cpu results.
Magnitude-based sorting is still available via the -mag flag.
It is useful for surfacing items of note (particularly changes
in allocs) when making compiler changes and running broad
benchmarks.

Previously, each word could be a package import path or a
comma-separated list of *.go file names. Now, if the
first word ends with ".go", all words are assumed to be
Go source files. This makes it impossible to specify
two ad-hoc packages from source files, but no-one needs that.
FromArgs also takes a boolean indicating whether tests
are wanted or not.
Also: ssadump: add -test flag to set that boolean.
For the oracle it's always true.

Method-set caching is now performed externally using a MethodSetCache (if desired), not by the Types themselves.

This is intended to replace the awk-based misc/benchcmp.
It mostly matches the existing misc/benchcmp.
Notable changes:
* Written in Go.
* Minor whitespace changes in the output; the tabular nature of the
output is preserved, as is most number formatting and verbiage.
* Comparisons within each section are sorted from highest change to lowest.
* Proper handling of multiple benchmarks with the same name (issue 7016).
* Does not omit benchmark comparisons for which the new value is zero.
* Adds -changed flag to only show benchmarks whose value have changed.
Useful for memory-oriented, large-scale benchmark comparisons.
* Has tests.
* Formats small ns measurements with extra precision.

The Importer type has been replaced with Config and Program.
Clients populate a Config, directly or more usually via
convenience functions. They then call its Load() method to do
all of the typechecking and transitive-closure computation.
ssa.NewProgram and ssa.CreatePackages have been fused into
ssa.Create, which now cannot fail, since (*Config).Load()
reports all type errors.
Also:
- The addition of an ssa.GlobalDebug builder mode flag
eliminates a loop-over-packages repeated in many clients.
- PackageInfo.Err flag unexported. Clients never see bad infos now.
- cmd/ssadump: now only looks for func "main" in package "main".
- importsOf deleted, was dead code.
STILL TODO:
- ParseFile seems like API creep (though it's convenient)
and CreateFromFiles is dangerous (w.r.t. FileSet identity).
Need to think more...
- the need for clients to rely on elementwise correspondence
of Config.CreatePkgs and Program.Created is a little sad.
- The command-line interface has not changed.
That will happen in a follow-up.
r recommends using a repeated flag: -package p -package q ...

Packages were not being created for all types.Packages,
specifically, indirectly imported packages were missing.
(*Program).CreatePackages now iterates over the type-checker's
package map too.
Also: removed all concurrency from importer. I think it was
incorrect (and hard to fix).
Also: change LoadInitialPackages so that all named packages
are loaded from source. This happens regardless of whether
GCImporter is used to satisfy imports.
Details:
- importer.Config.SourceImports flag determines whether to
load all packages from *.go source.
(Before, this was indicated by Config.Build != nil.)
- importer.Config.Build field effectively defaults to
&go/build.Default. A zero importer.Config is now usable.
- importer.Importer.Config field is now exported.
- LoadPackage renamed to ImportPackage since the resulting
packages may come from GCImporter (and be incomplete).
- doImport and ImportPackage fused.

Also report an error for "cross-interpretation": not supported
due to the interpreter's assumption that host and target
{int,uint,uintptr} are the same. (Too tedious and messy to fix.)
Tested manually:
% cat d.go
package main
const m = ^uintptr(0)
const w = m>>8&1 + m>>16&1 + m>>32&1
func main() { println(m, w) }
% ./ssadump -build=P -run d.go
package main:
const m m = 18446744073709551615:uintptr
const w w = 3:uintptr
18446744073709551615 3
% GOARCH=386 ./ssadump -build=P -run d.go
package main:
const m m = 4294967295:uintptr

Command set:
- what: an extremely fast query that parses a single
file and returns the AST stack, package name and the
set of query modes that apply to the current selection.
Intended for GUI tools that need to grey out UI elements.
- definition: shows the definition of an identifier.
- pointsto: the PTA features of 'describe' have been split
out into their own command.
- describe: with PTA stripped out, the cost is now bounded by
type checking.
Performance:
- The importer.Config.TypeCheckFuncBodies predicate supports
setting the 'IgnoreFuncBodies' typechecker flag on a
per-package basis. This means we can load dependencies from
source more quickly if we only need exported types.
(We avoid gcimport data because it may be absent or stale.)
This also means we can run type-based queries on packages
that aren't part of the pointer analysis scope. (Yay.)
- Modes that require only type analysis of the query package
run a "what" query first, and restrict their analysis scope
to just that package and its dependencies (sans func
bodies), making them much faster.
- We call newOracle not oracle.New in Query, so that the
'needs' bitset isn't ignored (oops!). This makes the
non-PTA queries faster.
Also:
- removed vestigial timers junk.
- pos.go: existing position utilties split out into own file.
Added parsePosFlag utility.
- numerous cosmetic tweaks.
+ very basic tests.
To do in follow-ups:
- sophisticated editor integration of "what".
- better tests.
- refactoring of control flow as described in comment.
- changes to "implements", "describe" commands.
- update design doc + user manual.

Using a type containing a sync type directly
in a function call (whether as a receiver,
a param, or a return value) is an easy way
to accidentally copy a lock or other sync primitive.
Check for it.
The test as implemented does not provide 100%
coverage; see the discussion near the bottom of
