What did you do?

Use go linkname with gopkg.in/yaml.v3 or gopkg.in/yaml.v2

playground: https://go.dev/play/p/1yYtFVvGnfn

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	_ "unsafe"

	_ "gopkg.in/yaml.v2"
)

//go:linkname newEncoder gopkg.in/yaml.v2.newEncoder
func newEncoder() any

func main() {
	newEncoder()
}

What did you see happen?

relocation target gopkg.in/yaml.v2.newEncoder not defined

What did you expect to see?

The symbol is imported and can be called.

The go:linkname directive is not part of the language and its use in user code is highly discouraged. It can break at any time without warning. From what I see in your example you can just import the package as-is, there is no need to use linkname, plus I'm not sure if it even works with external packages, I have mainly seen its use with internal Go libraries.

  • linkname is needed to access the internal decoder, not the public one (we're using yaml.Node.Decode with no public way to config.)
  • It does work with external packages and we use it on production system for other packages. Here is one working example:
//go:linkname DBBeforeQuery github.com/uptrace/bun.(*DB).beforeQuery
func DBBeforeQuery(
	instance *bun.DB,
	ctx context.Context,
	iquery bun.Query,
	queryTemplate string,
	queryArgs []interface{},
	query string,
	model bun.Model,
) (context.Context, *bun.QueryEvent)

Hi! I found the actual symbol name by go tool compile. "." in the last part of package name is encoded:

// gopkg.in/yaml.v2 => gopkg.in/yaml%2ev2

//go:linkname newEncoder2 gopkg.in/yaml%2ev2.newEncoder
func newEncoder2() any

…ut secret (#58)

* accessing internal yaml v3 methods, see golang/go#67361
* added tests for client worker's connection opening

since the YAML change, all practically optional fields in config can be turned optional by removing the value checks.
