Introduction

Let you do anything by manipulating the go code.

We provide source file parsing, rewriting and building utilities in this repository. A classical usage is to implement function trace by adding a log in begining of each function's body.

A more sophisticated usage is https://github.com/xhd2015/go-mock.

Usage

CLI

# add dependency
go get github.com/xhd2015/go-inspect

How it works?

The whole process can be splitted into the following phases:

ParseOptions
LoadPackages
FindMainModule
FindStarterPackages
FindExtraPackages
TraversePackages
    TraverseFiles
        TraverseFunctions
            TraverseNodes
SyncContent
Build

Rewrite

How we refactor rewrite?

1. reduce context we wrap all contextual information with proper struct

2. provide Visitor-like pattern
