func Read ¶

func Read(in io.Reader, fset *token.FileSet, imports map[string]*types.Package, path string) (*types.Package, error)

Read reads export data from in, decodes it, and returns type information for the package.

The package path (effectively its linker symbol prefix) is specified by path, since unlike the package name, this information may not be recorded in the export data.

File position information is added to fset.

Read may inspect and add to the imports map to ensure that references within the export data to other packages are consistent. The caller must ensure that imports[path] does not exist, or exists but is incomplete (see types.Package.Complete), and Read inserts the resulting package into this map entry.

On return, the state of the reader is undefined.
