The gobind and gomobile bind tools have historically overlapped:
gobind outputs generated bindings, and gomobile bind will generate
bindings before building them. However, the gobind bindings were
never used for building and thus allowed to not be complete.
To simplify version control, debugging, instrumentation and build
system flexibility, this CL upgrades the gobind tool to be the
canonical binding generator and change gomobile bind to use gobind
instead of its own generator code.
This greatly simplifies gomobile bind, but also paves the way to skip
gomobile bind entirely. For example:
$ gobind -outdir=$GOPATH golang.org/x/mobile/example/bind/hello
$ GOOS=android GOARCH=arm64 CC=<ndk-toolchain>/bin/clang go build -buildmode=c-shared -o libgobind.so gobind
$ ls libgobind.*
libgobind.h libgobind.so
The same applies to iOS, although the go build command line is more
involved.
By skipping gomobile it is possible to freely customize the Android
or iOS SDK level or any other flags not supported by gomobile bind.
By checking in the generated source code, the cost of supporting
gomobile in a custom build system is also decreased.

For Java classes implemented in Go, it is useful to take a Java instance
and extract its wrapped Go instance. For example, consider the
java.lang.Runnable implementation wrapping a Go function:
package somepkg
type GoRunnable struct {
lang.Runnable
f func()
}
Java methods that take a java.lang.Runnable cannot directly take a
*GoRunnable, so this CL adds a Unwrap method:
import gorun "Java/somepkg/GoRunnable"
...
r := gorun.New()
r.Unwrap().(*GoRunnable).f = func() { ... }
javapkg.Run(r)
The extra interface conversion is unfortunately needed to avoid
import cycles.

Before this CL, the type of the implicit "this" parameter to Java methods
implemented in Go could only be a super class of the generated Java
class. For example, the following GoRunnable type is an implementation of
the Java interface java.lang.Runnable with a toString method:
package somepkg
import "Java/java/lang"
type GoRunnable struct {
lang.Runnable
}
func (r *GoRunnable) ToString(this lang.Runnable) string {
...
}
The "this" parameter is implicit in the sense that the reverse generator
automatically fills it with a reference to the Java instance of
GoRunnable.
Note that "this" has the type Java/java/lang.Runnable, not
Java/go/somepkg.GoRunnable, which renders it impossible to call Java
methods and functions that expect GoRunnable. The most practical example
of this is the Android databinding libraries.
This CL changes the implicit this parameter to always match the exact
type. In the example, the toString implementation becomes:
import gopkg "Java/go/somepkg"
func (r *GoRunnable) ToString(this gopkg.GoRunnable) string {
...
}
One strategy would be to simply treat the generated Java classes
(GoRunnable in our example) as any other Java class and import it
through javap. However, since the Java classes are generated after
importing, this present a chicken-and-egg problem.
Instead, use the newly added support for structs with embedded prefixed types
and synthesize class descriptors for every exported Go struct type.

Before this CL, generated Java classes or interfaces were inner
classes to the top package class. That is both unnecessary and creates
ugly class names. Instead, move every generated class and interface to its
own package level class.
NOTE: This is a backwards incompatible change and requires every client
of gomobile APIs to be updated to leave out the package class in the
type names. For example, the Go type
package pkg
type S struct {
}
now generates (with the default java package name go) a Java class named
go.pkg.S. The name before this CL was go.pkg.Pkg.S.
Also, change the custom java package to specify the package prefix and
not the full package as before. This is an unfortunate change needed
to avoid name clashes between two bound packages. On the plus side,
the change brings the custom package case closer to the default behaviour,
which is a commen prefix, "go.", and a distinct java package for every
Go package bound.

Multiple packages are already supported, but only as if each packages
were bound in isolation. This CL lets a bound package refer to other
bound packages in its exported functions, types and fields.
In Java, the JNI class jclass and constructor jmethodID are exported
so other packages can construct proxies of other packages' interfaces.
In ObjC, the class @interface declarations are moved from the package
.m file to its .h file to allow other packages to constructs its
interface proxies.
Add a supporting test package, secondpkg, and add Java and ObjC tests
for the new cross package functionality. Also add simplepkg for
testing corner cases where the generated Go file must not include its
bound package.
While we're here, stop generating Go proxy types for struct types;
only Go interfaces can be implemented in the foreign language.

The seq serialization machinery is a historic artifact from when Go
mobile code had to run in a separate process. Now that Go code is running
in-process, replace the explicit serialization with direct calls and pass
arguments on the stack.
The benefits are a much smaller bind runtime, much less garbage (and, in
Java, fewer objects with finalizers), less argument copying, and faster
cross-language calls.
The cost is a more complex generator, because some of the work from the
bind runtime is moved to generated code. Generated code now handles
conversion between Go and Java/ObjC types, multiple return values and memory
management of byte slice and string arguments.
To overcome the lack of calling C code between Go packages, all bound
packages now end up in the same (fake) package, "gomobile_bind", instead of
separate packages (go_<pkgname>). To avoid name clashes, the package name is
added as a prefix to generated functions and types.
Also, don't copy byte arrays passed to Go, saving call time and
allowing read([]byte)-style interfaces to foreign callers (#12113).
Finally, add support for nil interfaces and struct pointers to objc.
This is a large CL, but most of the changes stem from changing testdata.
The full benchcmp output on the CL/20095 benchmarks on my Nexus 5 is
reproduced below. Note that the savings for the JavaSlice* benchmarks are
skewed because byte slices are no longer copied before passing them to Go.

Replace the vendored version of x/tools/go/loader with the standard
library's go/importer package. This reads the export data from
$GOPATH/pkg/pkgname.a instead of parsing and type checking the source
code. The "go install" subcommand is invoked just prior to reading the
export data to make sure the export data is up to date.
This has the advantage of relying entirely on the go tool for correctly
resolving and parsing dependencies of the package being bound. (For
example, a bound package can now depend on cgo.) It also removes a class
of bugs where the version of the loader we depend on can get out of sync
with the go tool. (For example, gobind now correctly handles vendor
dependencies.)
As a bonus, for packages with significant dependencies this approach
should also be noticeably faster as we do not need to parse and
typecheck all of the dependencies.
