Hm, turns out my test case was wrong, it works for me with Go 1.11beta2 and mdempksy’s fork at https://github.com/mdempsky/gocode

The fork at https://github.com/mdempsky/gocode fixes this issue.

Okay, I found it, it’s called indexed export format and has been introduced recently: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/golang-codereviews/6vqMfk1krNU/lzoJtkbuCQAJ

Gocode is no longer maintained, you can try a fork, such as: https://github.com/mdempsky/gocode
