Package types
Overview
Package types declares the data types and implements the algorithms for type-checking of Go packages. Use Config.Check to invoke the type checker for a package. Alternatively, create a new type checker with NewChecker and invoke it incrementally by calling Checker.Files.
Type-checking consists of several interdependent phases:
Name resolution maps each identifier (ast.Ident) in the program to the language object (Object) it denotes. Use Info.{Defs,Uses,Implicits} for the results of name resolution.
Constant folding computes the exact constant value (constant.Value) for every expression (ast.Expr) that is a compile-time constant. Use Info.
