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.

There are two modules, std and cmd, 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",

A GODEBUG setting may not be added if doing so is infeasible,
but that should be extremely rare.

GODEBUG settings added for compatibility will be maintained
for a minimum of two years (four Go releases).
Some, such as `http2client` and `http2server`,
will be maintained much longer, even indefinitely.

When possible, each GODEBUG setting has an associated
[runtime/metrics](/pkg/runtime/metrics/) counter

      Approved telemetry counters are maintained as [Go Telemetry Graph Config](https://golang.org/x/telemetry/internal/graphconfig) records.

are predefined and refer to registers.
The exact set depends on the architecture.

There are four predeclared symbols that refer to pseudo-registers.
These are not real registers, but rather virtual registers maintained by
the toolchain, such as a frame pointer.
The set of pseudo-registers is the same for all architectures:

<code>FP</code>: Frame pointer: arguments and locals.

and looks for type arguments for those type parameters such that the LHS
and RHS match (become identical or assignment-compatible, depending on
context).
To that effect, type inference maintains a map of bound type parameters
to inferred type arguments; this map is consulted and updated during type unification.
Initially, the bound type parameters are known but the map is empty.
