Errors creating symbol names on import of binary

[deliciouslytyped]

Error creating symbol: type.struct {} - Symbol name contains invalid characters: type.struct {}
Error creating symbol: go.(*struct { sync.Mutex; reflect.m sync.Map }).Unlock - Symbol name contains invalid characters: go.(*struct { sync.Mutex; reflect.m sync.Map }).Unlock

Do you know the version of go that was used to compile this binary?
Do you happen to have the source of this binary?

[deliciouslytyped]

Yes and yes, I'm not very familiar with go though and I don't think I'm in a position to share the source. I'll see what I can do.

Ok, I think it may have been go 1.11.6 and you specified 1.12

[felberj]

Thanks! If your binary is not striped, you can just disable the "Go Function Name Analyzer". It looks like there are anonymous structs and I did not yet play around with those.

Unless I messed up my build script, I get the same errors with 1.12.

Can you try to provide a minimal code snipped with this go.(*struct { sync.Mutex; reflect.m sync.Map }).Unlock symbol? You might need to compile it like in https://github.com/felberj/gotools/blob/master/testdata/Makefile to avoid optimisations.

I am not sure what the best solution for this is. We might want to filter out these symbols, or as a quick and dirty hack just ignore them like here: https://github.com/felberj/gotools/blob/master/src/main/java/gotools/GoFunctionNameAnalyzer.java#L76
