The loader package now loads, parses, and type-checks a whole program
from source, and that is all.
Also:
- simplified loader logic
- ssa.Create is gone; use ssautil.CreateProgram.
- ssautil.LoadPackage renamed to BuildPackage.
It is now independent of go/types' Import hook and the Packages map.
- ssadump: -importbin flag removed.
The value of this flag was that it caused the tool to print IR
for only a single package; this is now the normal behaviour.

The check for len(argv)==0 now only applies to these modes.
Also, more consistent variable naming.

Features:
More robust: silently ignore type errors in modes that don't need
SSA form: describe, referrers, implements, freevars, description.
This makes the tool much more robust for everyday queries.
Less configuration: don't require a scope argument for all queries.
Only queries that do pointer analysis need it.
For the rest, the initial position is enough for
importQueryPackage to deduce the scope.
It now works for queries in GoFiles, TestGoFiles, or XTestGoFiles.
(It no longer works for ad-hoc main packages like
$GOROOT/src/net/http/triv.go)
More complete: "referrers" computes the scope automatically by
scanning the import graph of the entire workspace, using gorename's
refactor/importgraph package. This requires two passes at loading.
Faster: simplified start-up logic avoids unnecessary package loading
and SSA construction (a consequence of bad abstraction) in many
cases.
"callgraph": remove it. Unlike all the other commands it isn't
related to the current selection, and we have
golang.org/x/tools/cmdcallgraph now.
Internals:
Drop support for long-running clients (i.e., Pythia), since
godoc -analysis supports all the same features except "pointsto",
and precomputes all the results so latency is much lower.
Get rid of various unhelpful abstractions introduced to support
long-running clients. Expand out the set-up logic for each
subcommand. This is simpler, easier to read, and gives us more
control, at a small cost in duplication---the familiar story of
abstractions.
Discard PTA warnings. We weren't showing them (nor should we).
Split tests into separate directories (so that importgraph works).

Until now, the same Function was used to represent a method
(T)func() and the "method expression" function func(T) formed
from it. So the SSA code for this:
var buf bytes.Buffer
f := Buffer.Bytes
f(buf)
buf.Bytes()
would involve an implicit cast (ChangeType) on line 2.
However, compilers based on go/ssa may want to use different
calling conventions for them, like gccgo does (see issue
7839). This change decouples them by using an anonymous
function called a "thunk", rather like this:
f := func(r *bytes.Buffer) []byte { return r.Bytes() }
Thunks are similar to method wrappers; both are created by
makeWrapper.
"Interface method wrappers" were a special case of thunks for
direct calls (no indirection/fields) of interface methods.
They are now subsumed by thunks and have been deleted. Now
that only the needed thunks are built, we don't need to
populate the concrete method sets of interface types at all,
so (*Program).Method and LookupMethod return nil for them.
This results in a slight reduction in function count (>1%) and
instruction count (<<1%).
Details:
go/ssa:
- API: ChangeType no longer supports func/method conversions.
- API: (*Program).FuncValue now returns nil for abstract
(interface) methods.
- API: (*Function).RelString simplified.
"$bound" is now a suffix not a prefix, and the receiver
type is rendered package-relative.
- API: Function.Object is now defined for all wrappers too.
- API: (*Program).Method and LookupMethod return nil for
abstract methods.
- emitConv no longer permits (non-identical)
Signature->Signature conversions. Added assertion.
- add and use isInterface helper
- sanity: we check packages after Build, not Create, otherwise
cross-package refs might fail.
go/pointer:
- update tests for new function strings.
- pointer_test: don't add non-pointerlike probes to analysis.
(The error was checked, but too late, causing a panic.)
- fixed a minor bug: if a test probe print(x) was the sole
reference to x, no nodes were generated for x.
- (reflect.Type).MethodByName: updated due to ssa API changes.
Also, fixed incorrect testdata/funcreflect.go expectation
for MethodByName on interfaces.
oracle:
- fix for new FuncValue semantics.
- a "pointsto" query on an I.f thunk now returns an error.

Previously, each {Indirect,}Query would return a set of Pointers, one per context; now it returns (at most) one Pointer combining information from all contexts.
The old API was more faithful to the implementation concepts, but the analysis is not sufficiently context-sensitive that it makes sense: all existing clients simply throw away the context information---so now we do that for them.
(I may remove the context-sensitivity from the callgraph too, but I'll benchmark that first to see if it reduces precision.)

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.
