Change #207 replaced reflect mode with package mode. In doing so, we no longer had to create separate reflect programs that would encode the resulting package into a gob for the rest of mockgen to read from.
Because of that, we removed the
--exec_only
flag.However, this flag was actually used to pass in programs that created gob encodings in other ways, allowing customization of the package loading and encoding portion of mockgen. As an alternative, this adds a new flag to mockgen
--model_gob
, which allows mockgen users to pass a path to a gob encoding of amodel.Package
, so that custom programs for encoding package information can still be used in conjunction with mockgen.
