undefined: ffjson.DecodeFast

[bmeh]

bmeh@arch test $ cat main.go 
package main

import "github.com/pquerna/ffjson/ffjson"

func main() {
        ffjson.DecodeFast()
}
bmeh@arch test $ 

$ go build
# _/tmp/test
./main.go:6:2: undefined: ffjson.DecodeFast

What am I missing? I double-checked, the version (master) I have downloaded contains DecodeFast in decoder.go.

I ran go vet decoder.go, it says:

# command-line-arguments
./decoder.go:42:14: undefined: unmarshalFaster
./decoder.go:62:14: undefined: unmarshalFaster
./decoder.go:82:14: undefined: unmarshalFaster

Is this library for an outdated version of go?

That's because DecodeFast is not a global method in ffjson. It's a method of Decoder. So you need to do something like ffjson.NewDecoder().DecodeFast(). It has arguments as well so that will be your next error if you call it without arguments.

Also running go vet on just one file isn't going to work seeing as it depends on other files in the same package as well. Running go vet on the whole package results in no errors or warnings.

Oh, thank you for the clarification!
