Go to file
Rob Pike c91daefb24 gob: beginning of support for GobEncoder/GobDecoder interfaces.
This allows a data item that can marshal itself to be transmitted by its
own encoding, enabling some types to be handled that cannot be
normally, plus providing a way to use gobs on data with unexported
fields.

In this CL, the necessary methods are protected by leading _, so only
package gob can use the facilities (in its tests, of course); this
code is not ready for real use yet.  I could be talked into enabling
it for experimentation, though.  The main drawback is that the
methods must be implemented by the actual type passed through,
not by an indirection from it.  For instance, if *T implements
GobEncoder, you must send a *T, not a T.  This will be addressed
in due course.

Also there is improved commentary and a couple of unrelated
minor bug fixes.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
directory (the one containing this README).  You can omit the
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html).
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
put the following in your .profile:

    export GOROOT=$HOME/go
    export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See doc/install.html for more details.
