Panics with Go 1.11beta1/2: unknown export format version -1 ("i\x00\xf9")

[fd0]

Apparently, in Go 1.11 the binary format for the archives was changed (see also nsf#521 (comment)), any chance you may have time (or know someone) who could adapt the parser for the format? That'd be awesome! Not having any code completion in 1.11 made me realize how important this is...

The error and stacktrace is as follows:

$ gocode -s -debug

Is there anything else I can do to get this resolved?

Oh, I just realized you're the one who submitted the CL that changes the export format, sorry for that ;)

Any chance you may have time to work on this before the release of Go 1.11? This will be a pain for most users.

Are you sure you're using the correct repo? the stacktrace shows github.com/nsf/gocode

Oh wow, it seems my test case was wrong, apparently I've used nsf's original version. Turns out, it works with this one. I have no idea how that happened, sorry for the noise. Closing.
