This reduces solver time by about 40%.
See hvn.go for detailed description.
Also in this CL:
- Update package docs.
- Added various global opt/debug options for maintainer convenience.
- Added logging of phase timing.
- Added stdlib_test, disabled by default, that runs the analysis
on all tests in $GOROOT.
- include types when dumping solution

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.
