		Package importer provides access to export data importers.


Package-Level Type Names (only one)


	/* sort by:  |  */
	
		A Lookup function returns a reader to access package data for
		a given import path, or an error if no matching package is found.

		
			func For(compiler string, lookup Lookup) types.Importer
			func ForCompiler(fset *token.FileSet, compiler string, lookup Lookup) types.Importer




Package-Level Functions (total 3)


	
		Default returns an Importer for the compiler that built the running binary.
		If available, the result implements [types.ImporterFrom].


	
		For calls [ForCompiler] with a new FileSet.
		
		Deprecated: Use [ForCompiler], which populates a FileSet
		with the positions of objects created by the importer.


	
		ForCompiler returns an Importer for importing from installed packages
		for the compilers "gc" and "gccgo", or for importing directly
		from the source if the compiler argument is "source". In this
		latter case, importing may fail under circumstances where the
		exported API is not entirely defined in pure Go source code
		(if the package API depends on cgo-defined entities, the type
		checker won't have access to those).
		
		The lookup function is called each time the resulting importer needs
		to resolve an import path. In this mode the importer can only be
		invoked with canonical import paths (not relative or absolute ones);
		it is assumed that the translation to canonical import paths is being
		done by the client of the importer.
		
		A lookup function must be provided for correct module-aware operation.
		Deprecated: If lookup is nil, for backwards-compatibility, the importer
		will attempt to resolve imports in the $GOPATH workspace.
