Previously we unconditionally qualified literal candidate types with their package. For example: var buf *bytes.Buffer buf = &bytes.Bu<> would complete to: buf = &bytes.bytes.Buffer{} Now we don't qualify the type if the cursor position is in the selector of an *ast.SelectorExpr. We only generate literal candidates for type names, so if we are in a selector then we can assume it is a package qualified type (as opposed to an object field). We also handle the insertion of "&" for literal pointers better. If you are in the selector of an *ast.SelectorExpr, we prepend the "&" to the beginning of the expression rather than the selector. For example, you will end up with "&bytes.Buffer{}" instead of "bytes.&Buffer{}". Updates golang/go#34872.

Go Tools
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
.
