// Package objectpath defines a naming scheme for types.Objects
// (that is, named entities in Go programs) relative to their enclosing
// package.
//
// Type-checker objects are canonical, so they are usually identified by
// their address in memory (a pointer), but a pointer has meaning only
// within one address space. By contrast, objectpath names allow the
// identity of an object to be sent from one program to another,
// establishing a correspondence between types.Object variables that are
// distinct but logically equivalent.
//
// A single object may have multiple paths. In this example,
//     type A struct{ X int }
//     type B A
// the field X has two paths due to its membership of both A and B.
// The For(obj) function always returns one of these paths, arbitrarily
// but consistently.

// A Path is an opaque name that identifies a types.Object
// relative to its package. Conceptually, the name consists of a
// sequence of destructuring operations applied to the package scope
// to obtain the original object.
// The name does not include the package itself.
type Path string

// Encoding
//
// An object path is a textual and (with training) human-readable encoding
// of a sequence of destructuring operators, starting from a types.Package.
// The sequences represent a path through the package/object/type graph.
// We classify these operators by their type:
//
//   PO package->object	Package.Scope.Lookup
//   OT  object->type 	Object.Type
//   TT    type->type 	Type.{Elem,Key,Params,Results,Underlying} [EKPRU]
//   TO   type->object	Type.{At,Field,Method,Obj} [AFMO]
//
// All valid paths start with a package and end at an object
// and thus may be defined by the regular language:
//
//   objectpath = PO (OT TT* TO)*
//
// The concrete encoding follows directly:
// - The only PO operator is Package.Scope.Lookup, which requires an identifier.
// - The only OT operator is Object.Type,
//   which we encode as '.' because dot cannot appear in an identifier.
// - The TT operators are encoded as [EKPRU].
// - The OT operators are encoded as [AFMO];
//   three of these (At,Field,Method) require an integer operand,
//   which is encoded as a string of decimal digits.
//   These indices are stable across different representations
//   of the same package, even source and export data.
//
// In the example below,
//
//	package p
//
//	type T interface {
//		f() (a string, b struct{ X int })
//	}
//
// field X has the path "T.UM0.RA1.F0",
// representing the following sequence of operations:
//
//    p.Lookup("T")					T
//    .Type().Underlying().Method(0).			f
//    .Type().Results().At(1)				b
//    .Type().Field(0)					X
//
// The encoding is not maximally compact---every R or P is
// followed by an A, for example---but this simplifies the
// encoder and decoder.
//
const (
	// object->type operators
	opType = '.' // .Type()		  (Object)

	// type->type operators
	opElem       = 'E' // .Elem()		(Pointer, Slice, Array, Chan, Map)
	opKey        = 'K' // .Key()		(Map)
	opParams     = 'P' // .Params()		(Signature)
	opResults    = 'R' // .Results()	(Signature)
	opUnderlying = 'U' // .Underlying()	(Named)

	opAt     = 'A' // .At(i)		(Tuple)
	opField  = 'F' // .Field(i)		(Struct)

	opObj    = 'O' // .Obj()		(Named)

// The For function returns the path to an object relative to its package,
// or an error if the object is not accessible from the package's Scope.
//
// The For function guarantees to return a path only for the following objects:
// - package-level types
// - exported package-level non-types
// - methods
// - parameter and result variables
// - struct fields
// These objects are sufficient to define the API of their package.
// The objects described by a package's export data are drawn from this set.
//
// For does not return a path for predeclared names, imported package
// names, local names, and unexported package-level names (except
// types).
//
// Example: given this definition,
//
//	package p
//
//	type T interface {
//		f() (a string, b struct{ X int })
//	}
//
// For(X) would return a path that denotes the following sequence of operations:
//
//    p.Scope().Lookup("T")				(TypeName T)
//    .Type().Underlying().Method(0).			(method Func f)
//    .Type().Results().At(1)				(field Var b)
//    .Type().Field(0)					(field Var X)
//
// where p is the package (*types.Package) to which X belongs.
