In Go 1.15, if a dependency is required but not listed in go.mod/go.sum,
it's resolved and added automatically.
This is changing in 1.16. From that release, one will have to explicitly
update the mod files via 'go mod tidy' or 'go get'.
To get ahead of the curve, start using -mod=readonly to get the same
behavior in 1.15, and fix all existing tests.
The only tests that failed were imports.txt and syntax.txt, the only
ones to require other modules. But since we're here, let's add the 'go'
line to all go.mod files as well.
As per the discussion in https://github.com/golang/go/issues/41145, it
turns out that we don't need special support for build caching in
-toolexec. We can simply modify the behavior of "[...]/compile -V=full"
and "[...]/link -V=full" so that they include garble's own version and
options in the printed build ID.
The part of the build ID that matters is the last, since it's the
"content ID" which is used to work out whether there is a need to redo
the action (build) or not. Since cmd/go parses the last word in the
output as "buildID=...", we simply add "+garble buildID=_/_/_/${hash}".
The slashes let us imitate a full binary build ID, but we assume that
the other components such as the action ID are not necessary, since the
only reader here is cmd/go and it only consumes the content ID.
The reported content ID includes the tool's original content ID,
garble's own content ID from the built binary, and the garble options
which modify how we obfuscate code. If any of the three changes, we
should use a different build cache key. GOPRIVATE also affects caching,
since a different GOPRIVATE value means that we might have to garble a
different set of packages.
Include tests, which mainly check that 'garble build -v' prints package
lines when we expect to always need to rebuild packages, and that it
prints nothing when we should be reusing the build cache even when the
built binary is missing.
After this change, 'go test' on Go 1.15.2 stabilizes at about 8s on my
machine, whereas it used to be at around 25s before.
basic.txt just builds main.go without a module. Similarly, we leave
imports.txt without a GOPRIVATE, to test the 'go list -m' fallback.
For all other tests, explicitly set GOPRIVATE, to avoid two exec calls -
both 'go env GOPRIVATE' as well as 'go list -m'. Each of those calls
takes in the order of 10ms, so saving ~26 exec calls should easily add
to 200-300ms saved from 'go test -short'.
Error strings should never be capitalized.
A binsubstr line in one of the tests was duplicate and thus useless.
Remove duplicate or trailing spaces in test scripts.
Finally, add a TODO for an optimization I just spotted.
