all: make copyright headers consistent with one space after period

2016-03-01T23:34:33+00:00

This is a subset of https://golang.org/cl/20022 with only the copyright
header lines, so the next CL will be smaller and more reviewable.

Go policy has been single space after periods in comments for some time.

The copyright header template at:

    https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html#copyright

also uses a single space.

Make them all consistent.

debug/dwarf: add DWARF attribute value class to Field

2015-04-12T14:37:35+00:00

To return DWARF attribute values, debug/dwarf maps the DWARF attribute
value classes to Go types. Unfortunately, this mapping is ambiguous in
a way that makes it impossible to correctly interpret some DWARF
attributes as of DWARF 4. For example, AttrStartScope can be either a
constant or a rangelistptr. The attribute is interpreted differently
depending on its class, but debug/dwarf maps both classes to int64, so
the caller can't distinguish them from the Go type.
AttrDataMemberLocation is similar.

To address this, this change adds a field to type Field that indicates
the exact DWARF attribute value class of that field's value. This
makes it possible to distinguish value classes that can't be
distinguished by their Go type alone.

The root of this type ambiguity was DWARF itself. For example, DWARF 2
made no distinction between constants that were just constants and
constants that were section offsets because no attribute could have
both meanings. Hence, the single int64 type was sufficient. To avoid
introducing just another layer of ambiguity, this change takes pains
to canonicalize ambiguous classes in DWARF 2 and 3 files into the
unambiguous classes of DWARF 4.

Of course, there's no guarantee that future DWARF versions won't do
the same thing again and further subdivide the DWARF 4 classes. This
change gets ahead of this somewhat by distinguishing the various *ptr
classes even though the encoding does not. If there's some other form
of split, we can handle this in a backwards-compatible way by
introducing, for example, a Class5 field and type.

debug/dwarf: factor parsing of unit lengths

2015-03-11T21:35:21+00:00

Many headers in DWARF sections have a "unit length" that can be either
4 bytes or 12 bytes and indicates both the length of the unit and
whether the unit is in 32-bit or 64-bit format.

Currently, we implement unit length parsing in four different places.
Add a "unitLength" method to buf that parses a unit length and use it
in these four places.

debug/dwarf: factor finding unit containing entry offset

2015-03-10T02:32:37+00:00

This factors out the code for finding which unit contains an offset in
the "info" section.  The new code also replaces linear search with a
binary search.  The line table reader will also need this
functionality.
