This commit adds logic to gracefully handle the new internal reflect.Value
structure on tip as of golang commit 82f48826c6c7 as well as the internal
reflect.Value flag bit changes as of golang commit 90a7c3c86944.
It accomplishes this by doing some inspection at init time and choosing
the appropriate offsets and flag positions accordingly. There was some
previous logic which dealt with a similar issue for golang commit
ecccf07e7f9d. However, since the more recent commits essentially reverted
the change and also modify the flag bit positions, it made more sense to
rework the detection logic. In particular, the new logic examines the
size of the reflect.Value struct to determine the difference and extracts
the kind from the flags to determine if the flags have been changed.
As a result, this commit allows spew to work properly with tip all the
back to Go 1.0.
This commit adds logic to gracefully handle the new internal reflect.Value
structure on tip as of golang commit ecccf07e7f9d. It accomplishes this
by doing some inspection at init time and choosing the appropriate offsets
as well as modifying which offset is used for the value accordingly. As a
result, this allows spew to work properly with both the current release
version of Go as well as tip.
Fixes#15.
This commit moves the new code related to sorting reflect.Value items into
common.go since it is accessed by both the formatter and the dumper. It
also adds comments to the new functions and unexports SortValues since it
should be an internal function only.
In order to help future proof itself, spew handles unrecognized reflect
values by passing them on to the standard fmt library. Since spew handles
all current reflect values in the language, this condition has to be
manually tested with a bit of hackery by using unsafe to change the kind
to a nonexistent value.
As of this commit, there is now 100% test coverage.
