The transformation is specified as a Go file defining two functions, 'before' and 'after', of identical types. Each function body consists of a single statement: either a return statement with a single (possibly multi-valued) expression, or an expression statement. The 'before' expression specifies a pattern and the 'after' expression its replacement. package P import ( "errors"; "fmt" ) func before(s string) error { return fmt.Errorf("%s", s) } func after(s string) error { return errors.New(s) } The expression statement form is useful when the the expression has no result, for example: func before(msg string) { log.Fatalf("%s", msg) } func after(msg string) { log.Fatal(msg) } The parameters of both functions are wildcards that may match any expression assignable to that type. If the pattern contains multiple occurrences of the same parameter, each must match the same expression in the input for the pattern to match. If the replacement contains multiple occurrences of the same parameter, the expression will be duplicated, possibly changing the side-effects. The tool analyses all Go code in the packages specified by the arguments, replacing all occurrences of the pattern with the substitution. So, the transform above would change this input: err := fmt.Errorf("%s", "error: " + msg) to this output: err := errors.New("error: " + msg) Identifiers, including qualified identifiers (p.X) are considered to match only if they denote the same object. This allows correct matching even in the presence of dot imports, named imports and locally shadowed package names in the input program. Matching of type syntax is semantic, not syntactic: type syntax in the pattern matches type syntax in the input if the types are identical. Thus, func(x int) matches func(y int). This tool was inspired by other example-based refactoring tools, 'gofmt -r' for Go and Refaster for Java. LIMITATIONS =========== EXPRESSIVENESS Only refactorings that replace one expression with another, regardless of the expression's context, may be expressed. Refactoring arbitrary statements (or sequences of statements) is a less well-defined problem and is less amenable to this approach. A pattern that contains a function literal (and hence statements) never matches. There is no way to generalize over related types, e.g. to express that a wildcard may have any integer type, for example. SAFETY Verifying that a transformation does not introduce type errors is very complex in the general case. An innocuous-looking replacement of one constant by another (e.g. 1 to 2) may cause type errors relating to array types and indices, for example. The tool performs only very superficial checks of type preservation. It is not possible to replace an expression by one of a different type, even in contexts where this is legal, such as x in fmt.Print(x). IMPORTS Although the matching algorithm is fully aware of scoping rules, the replacement algorithm is not, so the replacement code may contain incorrect identifier syntax for imported objects if there are dot imports, named imports or locally shadowed package names in the input program. Imports are added as needed, but they are not removed as needed. Run 'goimports' on the modified file for now. Dot imports are forbidden in the template. ` // TODO(adonovan): allow the tool to be invoked using relative package // directory names (./foo).
