1.5 breaks fuzzing package main

golang/go#4210

With 1.4, you could still import a main package which meant testing commands was easy.

With 1.5, your parsing code has to be moved to its own package.

Probably worth mentioning in the README, even if there's no workaround.

Hi Damian,

Feel free to send a pull request.

1.4 is too old to care

[dgryski]

Can the fix you applied to be able to fuzz internal packages be used in a similar manner to fuzz a main too?

[dvyukov]

Dunno. I guess no, because I still need to be able to import it.
But you can't even write unit tests for main. If you want it be tested, you need to move logic out.

[dgryski]

??? Of course you can write tests in the main package. Testing the main function can be tricky.

[dvyukov]

How does it work?

[dgryski]

Whatever magic go test does. I've never looked into it.
