Heschi Kreinick 07295caad0 internal/lsp/cache: prune types.Info entries in slice literals
The type checker emits a TypeAndValue entry for (among other things)
every constant in a Go file. Normally, that cost is moderate. However,
in the case of a large slice literal, it can get out of control very
quickly. Imagine a code generator that creates a 2KB byte slice literal;
that's 2K TypeAndValue entries, each of which is considerably larger
than the 1-3 bytes for the source text.

Unfortunately, there are a number of such code generators. Notably,
there are such slice literals in proto code, e.g.
https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go/blob/master/examples/route_guide/routeguide/route_guide.pb.go#L360

This CL changes the type checking code to remove the TypeAndValue
entries for slice literals of basic types after the checker returns.
In the extreme case of https://github.com/googleapis/go-genproto, which
is nothing but protos, I see a ~40% drop in heap usage.

I believe this change is generally safe, but there's no way to guarantee
it. I don't think any editor features need to know the type or value of
an arbitrary slice element, but it is just barely possible that an
analyzer does.

Go Tools

PkgGoDev

This subrepository holds the source for various packages and tools that support the Go programming language.

Some of the tools, godoc and vet for example, are included in binary Go distributions.

Others, including the Go guru and the test coverage tool, can be fetched with go get.

Packages include a type-checker for Go and an implementation of the Static Single Assignment form (SSA) representation for Go programs.

Download/Install

The easiest way to install is to run go get -u golang.org/x/tools/.... You can also manually git clone the repository to $GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/tools.

JS/CSS Formatting

This repository uses prettier to format JS and CSS files.

The version of prettier used is 1.18.2.

It is encouraged that all JS and CSS code be run through this before submitting a change. However, it is not a strict requirement enforced by CI.

Report Issues / Send Patches

This repository uses Gerrit for code changes. To learn how to submit changes to this repository, see https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html.

The main issue tracker for the tools repository is located at https://github.com/golang/go/issues. Prefix your issue with "x/tools/(your subdir):" in the subject line, so it is easy to find.
