When doing constraint type inference, we must consider whether the
constraint's core type is precise (no tilde) or imprecise (tilde,
or not a single specific type). In the latter case, we cannot infer
an unknown type argument from the (imprecise) core type because there
are infinitely many possible types. For instance, given
[E ~byte]
if we don't know E, we cannot infer that E must be byte (it could be
myByte, etc.). On the other hand, if we do know the type argument,
say for S in this example:
[S ~[]E, E any]
we must consider the underlying type of S when matching against ~[]E
because we have a tilde.
Because constraint type inference may infer type arguments that were
not eligible initially (because they were unknown and the core type
is imprecise), we must iterate the process until nothing changes any-
more. For instance, given
[S ~[]E, M ~map[string]S, E any]
where we initially only know the type argument for M, we must ignore
S (and E) at first. After one iteration of constraint type inference,
S is known at which point we can infer E as well.
The change is large-ish but the actual functional changes are small:
- There's a new method "unknowns" to determine the number of as of yet
unknown type arguments.
- The adjCoreType function has been adjusted to also return tilde
and single-type information. This is now conveniently returned
as (*term, bool), and the function has been renamed to coreTerm.
- The original constraint type inference loop has been adjusted to
consider tilde information.
- This adjusted original constraint type inference loop has been
nested in another loop for iteration, together with some minimal
logic to control termination.
The remaining changes are modifications to tests:
- There's a substantial new test for this issue.
- Several existing test cases were adjusted to accomodate the
fact that they inferred incorrect types: tildes have been
removed throughout. Most of these tests are for pathological
cases.
- A couple of tests were adjusted where there was a difference
between the go/types and types2 version.
Fixes #51229.

Vendoring in std and cmd
========================
The Go command maintains copies of external packages needed by the
standard library in the src/vendor and src/cmd/vendor directories.
In GOPATH mode, imports of vendored packages are resolved to these
directories following normal vendor directory logic
(see golang.org/s/go15vendor).
In module mode, std and cmd are modules (defined in src/go.mod and
src/cmd/go.mod). When a package outside std or cmd is imported
by a package inside std or cmd, the import path is interpreted
as if it had a "vendor/" prefix. For example, within "crypto/tls",
an import of "golang.org/x/crypto/cryptobyte" resolves to
"vendor/golang.org/x/crypto/cryptobyte". When a package with the
same path is imported from a package outside std or cmd, it will
be resolved normally. Consequently, a binary may be built with two
copies of a package at different versions if the package is
imported normally and vendored by the standard library.
Vendored packages are internally renamed with a "vendor/" prefix
to preserve the invariant that all packages have distinct paths.
This is necessary to avoid compiler and linker conflicts. Adding
a "vendor/" prefix also maintains the invariant that standard
library packages begin with a dotless path element.
The module requirements of std and cmd do not influence version
selection in other modules. They are only considered when running
module commands like 'go get' and 'go mod vendor' from a directory
in GOROOT/src.
Maintaining vendor directories
==============================
Before updating vendor directories, ensure that module mode is enabled.
Make sure GO111MODULE=off is not set ('on' or 'auto' should work).
Requirements may be added, updated, and removed with 'go get'.
The vendor directory may be updated with 'go mod vendor'.
A typical sequence might be:
cd src
go get -d golang.org/x/net@latest
go mod tidy
go mod vendor
Use caution when passing '-u' to 'go get'. The '-u' flag updates
modules providing all transitively imported packages, not only
the module providing the target package.
Note that 'go mod vendor' only copies packages that are transitively
imported by packages in the current module. If a new package is needed,
it should be imported before running 'go mod vendor'.
