cmd/go: Rebuild third party packages after a new release #3036
Labels

I think the go tool really need to detect the situation where the current pkg archive, though more recent than their sources, should be recompiled, because the loader will refuse it due to version mismatch. (Or better yet, detect if the recompile is really needed; but I think this check is very very difficult to do) And if this is fixed, you can just 'go install ...' to update your code whenever you update to a new version. |

This CL adds a very long comment explaining how isStale and the new build IDs work. As part of writing the comment I realized: // When the go command makes the wrong build decision and does not // rebuild something it should, users fall back to adding the -a flag. // Any common use of the -a flag should be considered prima facie evidence // that isStale is returning an incorrect false result in some important case. // Bugs reported in the behavior of -a itself should prompt the question // ``Why is -a being used at all? What bug does that indicate?'' The two uses of -a that are most commonly mentioned in bugs filed against the go command are: go install -a ./... go build -tags netgo -a myprog Both of these commands now do the right thing without needing -a. The -a exception we introduced in Go 1.4 was for the first form, and it broke the second form. Again, neither needs -a anymore, so restore the old, simpler, easier to explain, less surprising meaning used in Go 1.3: if -a is given, rebuild EVERYTHING. See the comment for more justification and history. Summary of recent CLs (to link bugs to this one): Fixes #3036. Now 'go install ./...' works. Fixes #6534. Now 'go install ./...' works. Fixes #8290. Now 'go install ./...' works. Fixes #9369. Now 'go build -tags netgo myprog' works. Fixes #10702. Now using one GOPATH with Go 1.5 and Go 1.6 works. (Each time you switch, everything needed gets rebuilt. Switching from Go 1.4 to Go 1.5 will rebuild properly. Switching from Go 1.5 back to Go 1.4 still needs -a when invoking the Go 1.4 go command.)
