It is needed after all, as I discovered in the pointer analysis.
(ssa needs more API test coverage.)
Also:
- sanity: remove debugging cruft
- promote: don't redundantly include the function's
own name in its Synthetic string.
- print: IntuitiveMethodSet utility fixes a bug in the
printing logic (for interface types, mset(*T) is empty).
The function is also used by the Oracle.

Fix bug: the Signature for an interface method wrapper
erroneously had a non-nil receiver.
Function:
- Set Pkg field non-nil even for wrappers.
It is equal to that of the wrapped function.
Only wrappers of error.Error
(and its embeddings in other interfaces) may have nil.
Sanity checker now asserts this.
- FullName() now uses .Synthetic field to discriminate
synthetic methods, not Pkg==nil.
- Fullname() uses new relType() utility to print receiver type
name unqualified if it belongs to the same package.
(Alloc.String also uses relType utility.)
CallCommon:
- Description(): fix switch logic broken when we
eliminated the Recv field.
- better docs.

Remove its 'name' field and treat it just like any other
ssa.Register: it gets a temp name like "t1".
Instead, give it a comment field holding its purpose, e.g, "x"
for a source-level vare, or "new", "slicelit", "complit" or
"varargs".
This improves usability of tools whose UI needs to refer to a
particular allocation site.

CanonicalPos was inadequate since many pairs of instruction share the same pos (e.g. Allocs and Phis). Instead, we generalize the DebugRef instruction to associate not just Idents but Exprs with ssa.Values.
We no longer store any DebugRefs for constant expressions, to save space. (The type and value of such expressions can be obtained by other means, at a cost in complexity.)
Function.ValueForExpr queries the DebugRef info to return the ssa.Value of a given Expr.
Added tests.
Also:
- the DebugInfo flag is now per package, not global.
It must be set between Create and Build phases if desired.
- {Value,Instruction}.Pos() documentation updated: we still maintain
this information in the instruction stream even in non-debug mode,
but we make fewer claims about its invariants.
- Go and Defer instructions can now use their respective go/defer
token positions (not the call's lparen), so they do.
- SelectState:
Posn token.Pos indicates the <- position
DebugNode ast.Expr is the send stmt or receive expr.
- In building SelectStmt, we introduce extra temporaries in debug
mode to hold the result of the receive in 'case <-ch' even though
this value isn't ordinarily needed.
- Use *SelectState (indirectly) since the struct is getting bigger.
- Document some missing instructions in doc.go.

stdlib_test runs the builder (in sanity-checking mode) over
the Go standard library. It also prints some stats about
the time and memory usage.
Also:
- importer.LoadPackage too (not just doImport) must consult
the cache to avoid creating duplicate Package instances for
the same import path when called serially from a test.
- importer: skip empty directories without an error.
- importer: print all errors, not just the first.
- visit.go: added AllFunctions utility for enumerating all
Functions in a Program.
- ssa.MethodSet is not safe to expose from the package since
it must be accessed under an (inaccessible) lock. (!!!)
This CL makes it unexported and restricts its use to the
single function Program.LookupMethod().
- Program.MethodSet() has gone.
Clients should instead iterate over the types.MethodSet
and call LookupMethod.
- Package.DumpTo(): improved efficiency of methodset printing
(by not creating wrappers) and accuracy (by showing * on
receiver type only when necessary).
- Program.CreatePackage: documented precondition and added
assertion.

We now use LookupFieldOrMethod for all SelectorExprs, and
simplify the logic to discriminate the various cases.
We inline static calls to promoted/indirected functions,
dramatically reducing the number of functions created.
More tests are needed, but I'd like to submit this as-is.
In this CL, we:
- rely less on Id strings. Internally we now use
*types.Method (and its components) almost everywhere.
- stop thinking of types.Methods as objects. They don't
have stable identities. (Hopefully they will become
plain-old structs soon.)
- eliminate receiver indirection wrappers:
indirection and promotion are handled together by makeWrapper.
- Handle the interactions of promotion, indirection and
abstract methods much more cleanly.
- support receiver-bound interface method closures.
- break up builder.selectField so we can re-use parts
(emitFieldSelection).
- add importer.PackageInfo.classifySelector utility.
- delete interfaceMethodIndex()
- delete namedTypeMethodIndex()
- delete isSuperInterface() (replaced by types.IsAssignable)
- call memberFromObject on each declared concrete method's
*types.Func, not on every Method frem each method set, in the
CREATE phase for packages loaded by gcimporter.
go/types:
- document Func, Signature.Recv() better.
- use fmt in {Package,Label}.String
- reimplement Func.String to be prettier and to include method
receivers.
API changes:
- Function.method now holds the types.Method (soon to be
not-an-object) for synthetic wrappers.
- CallCommon.Method now contains an abstract (interface)
method object; was an abstract method index.
- CallCommon.MethodId() gone.
- Program.LookupMethod now takes a *Method not an Id string.

Details:
- emitImplicitSelections now emits common code for implicit
field selections in both method and field lookups.
The last iteration over the LookupFieldOrMethod indices---the explicit,
final index---is handled by the caller.
- anonFieldPath, candidate and the BFS algo in buildMethodSet are all gone.

This CL adds three new functions to determine the SSA Value
for a given syntactic var, func or const object:
Program.{Const,Func,Var}Value.
Since constants and functions are immutable, the first
two only need a types.Object; but each distinct
reference to a var may return a distinct Value, so the third
requires an ast.Ident parameter too.
Debug information for local vars is encoded in the
instruction stream in the form of DebugRef instructions,
which are a no-op but relate their operand to a particular
ident in the AST. The beauty of this approach is that it
naturally stays consistent during optimisation passes
(e.g. lifting) without additional bookkeeping.
DebugRef instructions are only generated if the DebugMode
builder flag is set; I plan to make the policy more fine-
grained (per function).
DebugRef instructions are inserted for:
- expr(Ident) for rvalue idents
- address.store() for idents that update an lvalue
- address.address() for idents that take address of lvalue
(this new method replaces all uses of lval.(address).addr)
- expr() for all constant expressions
- local ValueSpecs with implicit zero initialization (no RHS)
(this case doesn't call store() or address())
To ensure we don't forget to emit debug info for uses of Idents,
we must use the lvalue mechanism consistently. (Previously,
many simple cases had effectively inlined these functions.)
Similarly setCallFunc no longer inlines expr(Ident).
Also:
- Program.Value() has been inlined & specialized.
- Program.Package() has moved nearer the new lookup functions.
- refactoring: funcSyntax has lost paramFields, resultFields;
gained funcType, which provides access to both.
- add package-level constants to Package.values map.
- opt: don't call localValueSpec for constants.
(The resulting code is always optimised away.)
There are a number of comments asking whether Literals
should have positions. Will address in a follow-up.
Added tests of all interesting cases.

methodIndex() utility was split and specialized to its two
cases, *Interface vs *Named, which are logically quite
different.
We can't memoize promotion wrappers yet; we need typemap.
Terminology:
- "thunks" are now "wrappers"
- "bridge methods" are now "promotion wrappers"
Where the diff is messy it's just because of indentation.

Method sets:
- Simplify CallCommon.
Avoid the implicit copy when calling a T method on a *T
receiver. This simplifies clients. Instead we generate
"indirection wrapper" functions that do this (like gc does).
New invariant:
m's receiver type is exactly T for all m in MethodSet(T)
- MakeInterface no longer holds the concrete type's MethodSet.
We can defer its computation this way.
- ssa.Type now just wraps a types.TypeName object.
MethodSets are computed as needed, not eagerly.
Position info:
- new CanonicalPos utility maps ast.Expr to canonical
token.Pos, as returned by {Instruction,Value}.Pos() methods.
- Don't set posn for implicit operations (e.g. varargs array alloc)
- Set position info for ChangeInterface and Slice instructions.
Cosmetic:
- add Member.Token() method
- simplify isPointer
- Omit words "interface", "slice" when printing MakeInterface,
MakeSlice; the type is enough.
- Comments on PathEnclosingInterval.
- Remove Function.FullName() where implicit String() suffices.
Also:
- Exposed NewLiteral to clients.
- Added ssa.Instruction.Parent() *Function
Added ssa.BasicBlock.Parent() *Function.
Added Sanity checks for above.

PLEASE NOTE: the APIs for both "importer" and "ssa" packages
will continue to evolve and both need some polishing; the key
thing is that this CL splits them.
The go.types/importer package contains contains the Importer,
which takes care of the mechanics of loading a set of packages
and type-checking them. It exposes for each package a
PackageInfo containing:
- the package's ASTs (i.e. the input to the typechecker)
- the types.Package object
- the memoization of the typechecker callbacks for identifier
resolution, constant folding and expression type inference.
Method-set computation (and hence bridge-method creation) is
now moved to after creation of all packages: since they are no
longer created in topological order, we can't guarantee the
needed delegate methods exist yet.
ssa.Package no longer has public TypeOf, ObjectOf, ValueOf methods.
The private counterparts are valid only during the build phase.
Also:
- added to go/types an informative error (not crash) for an
importer() returning nil without error.
- removed Package.Name(), barely needed.
- changed Package.String() slightly.
- flag what looks like a bug in makeBridgeMethod. Will follow up.

Extracted Builder.findMethod function to handle
methodset/receiver logic common to
function calls (Builder.setCall) and
bound method closure creation (Builder.selector).
Capture: added explicit Name, Type fields to Capture instead
of relying on Outer field, which is now un-exported since its
only purpose is to let Builder.expr(case *ast.FuncLit) know
which values to put in the closure; it is nilled immediately
after.
Simplified Function.lookup() logic: there's no need to walk
the Outer chain each time to set Alloc.Heap=true, as it's
already set during creation of the outermost
Capture{outer:*Alloc}.
Added interp/testdata/boundmeth.go test.
Cosmetic changes:
- add support for bound method thunks to Function.FullName().
- Simplified {Literal,Global,Builtin,Function}.String()
- doc: Captures are no longer necessarily addresses.
- added yet another missing pair of "()" (go/types accessors).
- print "Synthetic" not "Declared at -" for synthetic functions.
- use '$' not center-dot in synthetic identifiers (easier to type).

Also:
- remove redundant text in doc.go.
- fix (yet more) cases of missing parens in Printf, fallout from
go/types accessors refactoring.
- don't mix spaces and tabs within lines printed by ssa.Function.DumpTo:
it makes it too hard to constructed expected outputs for tests.
(Tabs may appear at line start though.)
