This is the second try for this fix; the first time around, we included
cmd/doc/testdata to the dirs list by sending it to the channel via a
goroutine. However, that can end up in a send to a closed channel, if
GOROOT is a very small directory tree or missing.
To avoid that possibility, include the extra directory by pre-populating
the paths list, before the walking of GOROOT and GOPATH actually starts.
Fixes#24462.

The go/printer (and thus gofmt) uses a heuristic to determine
whether to break alignment between elements of an expression
list which is spread across multiple lines. The heuristic only
kicked in if the entry sizes (character length) was above a
certain threshold (20) and the ratio between the previous and
current entry size was above a certain value (4).
This heuristic worked reasonably most of the time, but also
led to unfortunate breaks in many cases where a single entry
was suddenly much smaller (or larger) then the previous one.
The behavior of gofmt was sufficiently mysterious in some of
these situations that many issues were filed against it.
The simplest solution to address this problem is to remove
the heuristic altogether and have a programmer introduce
empty lines to force different alignments if it improves
readability. The problem with that approach is that the
places where it really matters, very long tables with many
(hundreds, or more) entries, may be machine-generated and
not "post-processed" by a human (e.g., unicode/utf8/tables.go).
If a single one of those entries is overlong, the result
would be that the alignment would force all comments or
values in key:value pairs to be adjusted to that overlong
value, making the table hard to read (e.g., that entry may
not even be visible on screen and all other entries seem
spaced out too wide).
Instead, we opted for a slightly improved heuristic that
behaves much better for "normal", human-written code.
1) The threshold is increased from 20 to 40. This disables
the heuristic for many common cases yet even if the alignment
is not "ideal", 40 is not that many characters per line with
todays screens, making it very likely that the entire line
remains "visible" in an editor.
2) Changed the heuristic to not simply look at the size ratio
between current and previous line, but instead considering the
geometric mean of the sizes of the previous (aligned) lines.
This emphasizes the "overall picture" of the previous lines,
rather than a single one (which might be an outlier).
3) Changed the ratio from 4 to 2.5. Now that we ignore sizes
below 40, a ratio of 4 would mean that a new entry would have
to be 4 times bigger (160) or smaller (10) before alignment
would be broken. A ratio of 2.5 seems more sensible.
Applied updated gofmt to all of src and misc. Also tested
against several former issues that complained about this
and verified that the output for the given examples is
satisfactory (added respective test cases).
Some of the files changed because they were not gofmt-ed
in the first place.

In golang.org/cl/59413, the two-argument behavior of cmd/doc was changed
to use findPackage instead of build.Import, meaning that the tool was
more consistent and useful.
However, it introduced a regression:
$ go doc bytes Foo
doc: no such package: bytes
This is because the directory list search would not find Foo in bytes,
and reach the end of the directory list - thus resulting in a "no such
package" error, since no directory matched our first argument.
Move the "no such package" error out of parseArgs, so that the "loop
until something is printed" loop can have control over it. In
particular, it is useful to know when we have reached the end of the
list without any exact match, yet we did find one package matching
"bytes":
$ go doc bytes Foo
doc: no symbol Foo in package bytes
While at it, make the "no such package" error not be fatal so that we
may test for it. It is important to have the test, as parseArgs may now
return a nil package instead of exiting the entire program, potentially
meaning a nil pointer dereference panic.

This CL does some dirty work to dig down to the methods
so interface methods now present their documentation:

func Pos() token.Pos // position of first character belonging to the node

It must largely sidestep the doc package to do this, which

Certain variables (and constants, functions, and types) have value specifications
that are multiple lines long. Prior to this change, doc would print out all of the
lines necessary to display the value. This is inconsistent with the documented
behavior, which guarantees a one-line summary for all first-level items.
We fix this here by writing a general oneLineNode method that always returns

Before this change, cmd/doc would stop there even though math/rand
has the symbol. After this change, we get:

Float64 returns, as a float64, a pseudo-random number in [0.0,1.0) from the

Another nice consequence is that if a symbol is not found, we might get
a longer list of packages that were examined:
% go doc rand.Int64

%
This change introduces a coroutine to scan the file system so that if
the symbol is not found, the coroutine can deliver another path to try.
(This is darned close to the original motivation for coroutines.)
Paths are delivered on an unbuffered channel so the scanner does
not proceed until candidate paths are needed.
The scanner is attached to a new type, called Dirs, that caches the results
so if we need to scan a second time, we don't walk the file system
again. This is significantly more efficient than the existing code, which
could scan the tree multiple times looking for a package with
the symbol.

The code assumed that if the first entry was unexported, all the
entries were. The fix is simple: delete a bunch of code.
Fixes#12286.

Trivial fix: set unexported=true for builtin.
Godoc itself has a similar hack.

People use 80-column terminals because their grandparents used
punched cards. When I last used a punched card, in 1978, it seemed
antiquated even then. But today, people still set their terminal
widths to 80 to honor the struggles their fallen ancestors made to
endure this painful technology.
We must all stand and salute the 80 column flag, or risk the opprobium
of our peers.
For Pete's sake, I don't even use a fixed-width font. I don't even
believe in columns.
Fixes#11639 with extreme reluctance.
P.S. To avoid the horror of an automatically folded line of text, this commit message has been formatted to fit on an 80-column line, except for this postscript.

Change the default behavior when showing the package docs
for a command to elide the symbols. This makes
go doc somecommand
show the top-level package docs only and hide the symbols,
which are probably irrelevant to the user. This has no effect
on explicit requests for internals, such as
go doc somecommand.sometype
The new -cmd flag restores the old behavior.
Fixes#10733.

Most important: skip test on darwin/arm64 for unclear reasons.
First cut at the test missed this feature of go doc: when asking for
the docs for a type, include any function that looks like it constructs
a that type as a return value.

Refactor main a bit to make it possible to run tests without an exec every time.
(Makes a huge difference in run time.)
Add a silver test. Not quite golden, since it looks for pieces rather than the
full output, and also includes tests for what should not appear.

When go doc is invoked with a single package name argument (e.g. go doc pkgname)
it needs to find the directory of the requested package sources in GOPATH.
GOPATH might contain directories with the same name as the requested package
that do no contain any *.go files. This change makes "go doc" ignore such
directories when looking for possible package directories.
This fixes#10882

Better layout.
Fixes#10859.
The issue suggests rearranging so the comment comes out
after the methods. I tried this and it looks good but it is less
useful, since the stuff you're probably looking for - the methods
- are scrolled away by the comment. The most important
information should be last because that leaves it on your
screen after the print if the output is long.
