The Importer type has been replaced with Config and Program.
Clients populate a Config, directly or more usually via
convenience functions. They then call its Load() method to do
all of the typechecking and transitive-closure computation.
ssa.NewProgram and ssa.CreatePackages have been fused into
ssa.Create, which now cannot fail, since (*Config).Load()
reports all type errors.
Also:
- The addition of an ssa.GlobalDebug builder mode flag
eliminates a loop-over-packages repeated in many clients.
- PackageInfo.Err flag unexported. Clients never see bad infos now.
- cmd/ssadump: now only looks for func "main" in package "main".
- importsOf deleted, was dead code.
STILL TODO:
- ParseFile seems like API creep (though it's convenient)
and CreateFromFiles is dangerous (w.r.t. FileSet identity).
Need to think more...
- the need for clients to rely on elementwise correspondence
of Config.CreatePkgs and Program.Created is a little sad.
- The command-line interface has not changed.
That will happen in a follow-up.
