This pull request fixes several typos in comments. I believe that they're safe enough.

Type and Pointer Analysis to-do list
|
|
====================================

Overall design
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
We should re-run the type and pointer analyses periodically,
|
|
as we do with the indexer.
|
|
|
|
Version skew: how to mitigate the bad effects of stale URLs in old pages?
|
|
We could record the file's length/CRC32/mtime in the go/loader, and
|
|
refuse to decorate it with links unless they match at serving time.
|
|
|
|
Use the VFS mechanism when (a) enumerating packages and (b) loading
|
|
them. (Requires planned changes to go/loader.)
|
|
|
|
Future work: shard this using map/reduce for larger corpora.
|
|
|
|
Testing: how does one test that a web page "looks right"?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bugs
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
(*ssa.Program).Create requires transitively error-free packages. We
|
|
can make this more robust by making the requirement transitively free
|
|
of "hard" errors; soft errors are fine.
|
|
|
|
Markup of compiler errors is slightly buggy because they overlap with
|
|
other selections (e.g. Idents). Fix.
|
|
|
|
|
|
User Interface
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
CALLGRAPH:
|
|
- Add a search box: given a search node, expand path from each entry
|
|
point to it.
|
|
- Cause hovering over a given node to highlight that node, and all
|
|
nodes that are logically identical to it.
|
|
- Initially expand the callgraph trees (but not their toggle divs).
|
|
|
|
CALLEES:
|
|
- The '(' links are not very discoverable. Highlight them?
|
|
|
|
Type info:
|
|
- In the source viewer's lower pane, use a toggle div around the
|
|
IMPLEMENTS and METHODSETS lists, like we do in the package view.
|
|
Only expand them initially if short.
|
|
- Include IMPLEMENTS and METHOD SETS information in search index.
|
|
- URLs in IMPLEMENTS/METHOD SETS always link to source, even from the
|
|
package docs view. This makes sense for links to non-exported
|
|
types, but links to exported types and funcs should probably go to
|
|
other package docs.
|
|
- Suppress toggle divs for empty method sets.
|
|
|
|
Misc:
|
|
- The [X] button in the lower pane is subject to scrolling.
|
|
- Should the lower pane be floating? An iframe?
|
|
When we change document.location by clicking on a link, it will go away.
|
|
How do we prevent that (a la Gmail's chat windows)?
|
|
- Progress/status: for each file, display its analysis status, one of:
|
|
- not in analysis scope
|
|
- type analysis running...
|
|
- type analysis complete
|
|
(+ optionally: there were type errors in this file)
|
|
And if PTA requested:
|
|
- type analysis complete; PTA not attempted due to type errors
|
|
- PTA running...
|
|
- PTA complete
|
|
- Scroll the selection into view, e.g. the vertical center, or better
|
|
still, under the pointer (assuming we have a mouse).
|
|

More features
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Display the REFERRERS relation? (Useful but potentially large.)
|
|
|
|
Display the INSTANTIATIONS relation? i.e. given a type T, show the set of
|
|
syntactic constructs that can instantiate it:
|
|
var x T
|
|
x := T{...}
|
|
x = new(T)
|
|
x = make([]T, n)
|
|
etc
|
|
+ all INSTANTIATIONS of all S defined as struct{t T} or [n]T
|
|
(Potentially a lot of information.)
|
|
(Add this to guru too.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Optimisations
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Each call to addLink takes a (per-file) lock. The locking is
|
|
fine-grained so server latency isn't terrible, but overall it makes
|
|
the link computation quite slow. Batch update might be better.
|
|
|
|
Memory usage is now about 1.5GB for GOROOT + go.tools. It used to be 700MB.
|
|
|
|
Optimize for time and space. The main slowdown is the network I/O
|
|
time caused by an increase in page size of about 3x: about 2x from
|
|
HTML, and 0.7--2.1x from JSON (unindented vs indented). The JSON
|
|
contains a lot of filenames (e.g. 820 copies of 16 distinct
|
|
filenames). 20% of the HTML is L%d spans (now disabled). The HTML
|
|
also contains lots of tooltips for long struct/interface types.
|
|
De-dup or just abbreviate? The actual formatting is very fast.
