Other than catching an error case that was missed before, this CL introduces no changes to the template language or API. For simplicity, templates use spaces as argument separators. This means that spaces are significant: .x .y is not the same as .x.y. In the existing code, these cases are discriminated by the lexer, but that means for instance that (a b).x cannot be distinguished from (a b) .x, which is lousy. Although that syntax is not supported yet, we want to support it and this CL is a necessary step. This CL emits a "space" token (actually a run of spaces) from the lexer so the parser can discriminate these cases. It therefore fixes a couple of undisclosed bugs ("hi".x is now an error) but doesn't otherwise change the language. Later CLs will amend the grammar to make .X a proper operator. There is one unpleasantness: With space a token, three-token lookahead is now required when parsing variable declarations to discriminate them from plain variable references. Otherwise the change isn't bad. The CL also moves the debugging print code out of the lexer into the test, which is the only place it's needed or useful. Step towards resolving issue 3999. It still remains to move field chaining out of the lexer and into the parser and make field access an operator. R=golang-dev, dsymonds CC=golang-dev https://golang.org/cl/6492054
