The Go programming language
fb175cf77e
Type is now an interface that implements all the possible type methods.
Instead of a type switch on a reflect.Type t, switch on t.Kind().
If a method is invoked on the wrong kind of type (for example,
calling t.Field(0) when t.Kind() != Struct), the call panics.
There is one method renaming: t.(*ChanType).Dir() is now t.ChanDir().
Value is now a struct value that implements all the possible value methods.
Instead of a type switch on a reflect.Value v, switch on v.Kind().
If a method is invoked on the wrong kind of value (for example,
calling t.Recv() when t.Kind() != Chan), the call panics.
Since Value is now a struct, not an interface, its zero value
cannot be compared to nil. Instead of v != nil, use v.IsValid().
Instead of other uses of nil as a Value, use Value{}, the zero value.
Many methods have been renamed, most due to signature conflicts:
OLD NEW
v.(*ArrayValue).Elem v.Index
v.(*BoolValue).Get v.Bool
v.(*BoolValue).Set v.SetBool
v.(*ChanType).Dir v.ChanDir
v.(*ChanValue).Get v.Pointer
v.(*ComplexValue).Get v.Complex
v.(*ComplexValue).Overflow v.OverflowComplex
v.(*ComplexValue).Set v.SetComplex
v.(*FloatValue).Get v.Float
v.(*FloatValue).Overflow v.OverflowFloat
v.(*FloatValue).Set v.SetFloat
v.(*FuncValue).Get v.Pointer
v.(*InterfaceValue).Get v.InterfaceData
v.(*IntValue).Get v.Int
v.(*IntValue).Overflow v.OverflowInt
v.(*IntValue).Set v.SetInt
v.(*MapValue).Elem v.MapIndex
v.(*MapValue).Get v.Pointer
v.(*MapValue).Keys v.MapKeys
v.(*MapValue).SetElem v.SetMapIndex
v.(*PtrValue).Get v.Pointer
v.(*SliceValue).Elem v.Index
v.(*SliceValue).Get v.Pointer
v.(*StringValue).Get v.String
v.(*StringValue).Set v.SetString
v.(*UintValue).Get v.Uint
v.(*UintValue).Overflow v.OverflowUint
v.(*UintValue).Set v.SetUint
v.(*UnsafePointerValue).Get v.Pointer
v.(*UnsafePointerValue).Set v.SetPointer
Part of the motivation for this change is to enable a more
efficient implementation of Value, one that does not allocate
memory during most operations. To reduce the size of the CL,
this CL's implementation is a wrapper around the old API.
Later CLs will make the implementation more efficient without
changing the API.
Other CLs to be submitted at the same time as this one
add support for this change to gofix (4343047) and update
the Go source tree (4353043).

This is the source code repository for the Go programming language.
For documentation about how to install and use Go,
visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install.html in your web browser.
After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted
doc/install.html by running godoc --http=:6060

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.
