// Package gcexportdata provides functions for locating, reading, and // writing export data files containing type information produced by the // gc compiler. This package supports go1.7 export data format and all // later versions. // // Although it might seem convenient for this package to live alongside // go/types in the standard library, this would cause version skew // problems for developer tools that use it, since they must be able to // consume the outputs of the gc compiler both before and after a Go // update such as from Go 1.7 to Go 1.8. Because this package lives in // golang.org/x/tools, sites can update their version of this repo some // time before the Go 1.8 release and rebuild and redeploy their // developer tools, which will then be able to consume both Go 1.7 and // Go 1.8 export data files, so they will work before and after the // Go update. (See discussion at https://golang.org/issue/15651.)
