Overview ¶
Package types declares the data types and implements the algorithms for type-checking of Go packages. Use Config.Check to invoke the type checker for a package. Alternatively, create a new type checker with NewChecker and invoke it incrementally by calling Checker.Files.
Type-checking consists of several interdependent phases:
Name resolution maps each identifier (ast.Ident) in the program to the language object (Object) it denotes. Use Info.{Defs,Uses,Implicits} for the results of name resolution.
Constant folding computes the exact constant value (constant.Value) for every expression (ast.Expr) that is a compile-time constant. Use Info.Types[expr].Value for the results of constant folding.
Type inference computes the type (Type) of every expression (ast.Expr) and checks for compliance with the language specification. Use Info.Types[expr].Type for the results of type inference.

func Comparable ¶
Comparable reports whether values of type T are comparable.
func ConvertibleTo ¶
ConvertibleTo reports whether a value of type V is convertible to a value of type T.
func DefPredeclaredTestFuncs ¶

func ExprString ¶
ExprString returns the (possibly simplified) string representation for x.
func Id ¶
Id returns name if it is exported, otherwise it returns the name qualified with the package path.
func IdenticalIgnoreTags ¶
IdenticalIgnoreTags reports whether x and y are identical if tags are ignored.
func Implements ¶
Implements reports whether type V implements interface T.
func IsInterface ¶
IsInterface reports whether typ is an interface type.
func ObjectString ¶
ObjectString returns the string form of obj. The Qualifier controls the printing of package-level objects, and may be nil.
func SelectionString ¶
SelectionString returns the string form of s. The Qualifier controls the printing of package-level objects, and may be nil.
Examples:
"field (T) f int" "method (T) f(X) Y" "method expr (T) f(X) Y"
func TypeString ¶
TypeString returns the string representation of typ. The Qualifier controls the printing of package-level objects, and may be nil.
func WriteSignature ¶
WriteSignature writes the representation of the signature sig to buf, without a leading "func" keyword. The Qualifier controls the printing of package-level objects, and may be nil.
Types ¶
type Array ¶
type Array struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
An Array represents an array type.
func (*Array) Underlying ¶
type Basic ¶
type Basic struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A Basic represents a basic type.
func (*Basic) Underlying ¶
type BasicInfo ¶
type BasicInfo int
BasicInfo is a set of flags describing properties of a basic type.
type BasicKind ¶
type BasicKind int
BasicKind describes the kind of basic type.
const ( Invalid BasicKind = iota // type is invalid // predeclared types Bool Int Int8 Int16 Int32 Int64 Uint Uint8 Uint16 Uint32 Uint64 Uintptr Float32 Float64 Complex64 Complex128 String UnsafePointer // types for untyped values UntypedBool UntypedInt UntypedRune UntypedFloat UntypedComplex UntypedString UntypedNil // aliases Byte = Uint8 Rune = Int32 )
type Builtin ¶
type Builtin struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A Builtin represents a built-in function. Builtins don't have a valid type.
type Chan ¶
type Chan struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A Chan represents a channel type.
func (*Chan) Underlying ¶
type Checker ¶
type Checker struct { *Info // contains filtered or unexported fields }
A Checker maintains the state of the type checker. It must be created with NewChecker.
func NewChecker ¶
NewChecker returns a new Checker instance for a given package. Package files may be added incrementally via checker.Files.
type Config ¶
type Config struct { // If IgnoreFuncBodies is set, function bodies are not // type-checked. IgnoreFuncBodies bool // If FakeImportC is set, `import "C"` (for packages requiring Cgo) // declares an empty "C" package and errors are omitted for qualified // identifiers referring to package C (which won't find an object). // This feature is intended for the standard library cmd/api tool. // // Caution: Effects may be unpredictable due to follow-on errors. // Do not use casually! FakeImportC bool // If Error != nil, it is called with each error found // during type checking; err has dynamic type Error. // Secondary errors (for instance, to enumerate all types // involved in an invalid recursive type declaration) have // error strings that start with a '\t' character. // If Error == nil, type-checking stops with the first // error found. Error func(err error) // An importer is used to import packages referred to from // import declarations. // If the installed importer implements ImporterFrom, the type // checker calls ImportFrom instead of Import. // The type checker reports an error if an importer is needed // but none was installed. Importer Importer // If Sizes != nil, it provides the sizing functions for package unsafe. // Otherwise SizesFor("gc", "amd64") is used instead. Sizes Sizes // If DisableUnusedImportCheck is set, packages are not checked // for unused imports. DisableUnusedImportCheck bool }
A Config specifies the configuration for type checking. The zero value for Config is a ready-to-use default configuration.
func (*Config) Check ¶
func (conf *Config) Check(path string, fset *token.FileSet, files []*ast.File, info *Info) (*Package, error)
Check type-checks a package and returns the resulting package object and the first error if any. Additionally, if info != nil, Check populates each of the non-nil maps in the Info struct.
The package is marked as complete if no errors occurred, otherwise it is incomplete. See Config.Error for controlling behavior in the presence of errors.
The package is specified by a list of *ast.Files and corresponding file set, and the package path the package is identified with. The clean path must not be empty or dot (".").
type Const ¶
type Const struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A Const represents a declared constant.
type Error ¶
type Error struct { Fset *token.FileSet // file set for interpretation of Pos Pos token.Pos // error position Msg string // error message Soft bool // if set, error is "soft" }
An Error describes a type-checking error; it implements the error interface. A "soft" error is an error that still permits a valid interpretation of a package (such as "unused variable"); "hard" errors may lead to unpredictable behavior if ignored.
type Func ¶
type Func struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A Func represents a declared function, concrete method, or abstract (interface) method. Its Type() is always a *Signature. An abstract method may belong to many interfaces due to embedding.
func MissingMethod ¶
MissingMethod returns (nil, false) if V implements T, otherwise it returns a missing method required by T and whether it is missing or just has the wrong type.
For non-interface types V, or if static is set, V implements T if all methods of T are present in V. Otherwise (V is an interface and static is not set), MissingMethod only checks that methods of T which are also present in V have matching types (e.g., for a type assertion x.(T) where x is of interface type V).
type Importer ¶
type Importer interface { // Import returns the imported package for the given import path. // The semantics is like for ImporterFrom.ImportFrom except that // dir and mode are ignored (since they are not present). Import(path string) (*Package, error) }
An Importer resolves import paths to Packages.
CAUTION: This interface does not support the import of locally vendored packages. See https://golang.org/s/go15vendor. If possible, external implementations should implement ImporterFrom.
type ImporterFrom ¶
type ImporterFrom interface { // Importer is present for backward-compatibility. Calling // Import(path) is the same as calling ImportFrom(path, "", 0); // i.e., locally vendored packages may not be found. // The types package does not call Import if an ImporterFrom // is present. Importer // ImportFrom returns the imported package for the given import // path when imported by a package file located in dir. // If the import failed, besides returning an error, ImportFrom // is encouraged to cache and return a package anyway, if one // was created. This will reduce package inconsistencies and // follow-on type checker errors due to the missing package. // The mode value must be 0; it is reserved for future use. // Two calls to ImportFrom with the same path and dir must // return the same package. ImportFrom(path, dir string, mode ImportMode) (*Package, error) }
An ImporterFrom resolves import paths to packages; it supports vendoring per https://golang.org/s/go15vendor. Use go/importer to obtain an ImporterFrom implementation.
type Info ¶
type Info struct { // Types maps expressions to their types, and for constant // expressions, also their values. Invalid expressions are // omitted. // // For (possibly parenthesized) identifiers denoting built-in // functions, the recorded signatures are call-site specific: // if the call result is not a constant, the recorded type is // an argument-specific signature. Otherwise, the recorded type // is invalid. // // The Types map does not record the type of every identifier, // only those that appear where an arbitrary expression is // permitted. For instance, the identifier f in a selector // expression x.f is found only in the Selections map, the // identifier z in a variable declaration 'var z int' is found // only in the Defs map, and identifiers denoting packages in // qualified identifiers are collected in the Uses map. Types map[ast.Expr]TypeAndValue // Defs maps identifiers to the objects they define (including // package names, dots "." of dot-imports, and blank "_" identifiers). // For identifiers that do not denote objects (e.g., the package name // in package clauses, or symbolic variables t in t := x.(type) of // type switch headers), the corresponding objects are nil. // // For an anonymous field, Defs returns the field *Var it defines. // // Invariant: Defs[id] == nil || Defs[id].Pos() == id.Pos() Defs map[*ast.Ident]Object // Uses maps identifiers to the objects they denote. // // For an anonymous field, Uses returns the *TypeName it denotes. // // Invariant: Uses[id].Pos() != id.Pos() Uses map[*ast.Ident]Object // Implicits maps nodes to their implicitly declared objects, if any. // The following node and object types may appear: // // node declared object // // *ast.ImportSpec *PkgName for dot-imports and imports without renames // *ast.CaseClause type-specific *Var for each type switch case clause (incl. default) // *ast.Field anonymous parameter *Var // Implicits map[ast.Node]Object // Selections maps selector expressions (excluding qualified identifiers) // to their corresponding selections. Selections map[*ast.SelectorExpr]*Selection // Scopes maps ast.Nodes to the scopes they define. Package scopes are not // associated with a specific node but with all files belonging to a package. // Thus, the package scope can be found in the type-checked Package object. // Scopes nest, with the Universe scope being the outermost scope, enclosing // the package scope, which contains (one or more) files scopes, which enclose // function scopes which in turn enclose statement and function literal scopes. // Note that even though package-level functions are declared in the package // scope, the function scopes are embedded in the file scope of the file // containing the function declaration. // // The following node types may appear in Scopes: // // *ast.File // *ast.FuncType // *ast.BlockStmt // *ast.IfStmt // *ast.SwitchStmt // *ast.TypeSwitchStmt // *ast.CaseClause // *ast.CommClause // *ast.ForStmt // *ast.RangeStmt // Scopes map[ast.Node]*Scope // InitOrder is the list of package-level initializers in the order in which // they must be executed. Initializers referring to variables related by an // initialization dependency appear in topological order, the others appear // in source order. Variables without an initialization expression do not // appear in this list. InitOrder []*Initializer }
Info holds result type information for a type-checked package. Only the information for which a map is provided is collected. If the package has type errors, the collected information may be incomplete.
Example ¶
ExampleInfo prints various facts recorded by the type checker in a types.Info struct: definitions of and references to each named object, and the type, value, and mode of every expression in the package.
package main import ( "bytes" "fmt" "go/ast" "go/format" "go/parser" "go/token" "go/types" "log" "sort" "strings" ) func main() { // Parse a single source file. const input = ` package fib type S string var a, b, c = len(b), S(c), "hello" func fib(x int) int { if x < 2 { return x } return fib(x-1) - fib(x-2) }` fset := token.NewFileSet() f, err := parser.ParseFile(fset, "fib.go", input, 0) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } // Type-check the package. // We create an empty map for each kind of input // we're interested in, and Check populates them. info := types.Info{ Types: make(map[ast.Expr]types.TypeAndValue), Defs: make(map[*ast.Ident]types.Object), Uses: make(map[*ast.Ident]types.Object), } var conf types.Config pkg, err := conf.Check("fib", fset, []*ast.File{f}, &info) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } // Print package-level variables in initialization order. fmt.Printf("InitOrder: %v\n\n", info.InitOrder) // For each named object, print the line and // column of its definition and each of its uses. fmt.Println("Defs and Uses of each named object:") usesByObj := make(map[types.Object][]string) for id, obj := range info.Uses { posn := fset.Position(id.Pos()) lineCol := fmt.Sprintf("%d:%d", posn.Line, posn.Column) usesByObj[obj] = append(usesByObj[obj], lineCol) } var items []string for obj, uses := range usesByObj { sort.Strings(uses) item := fmt.Sprintf("%s:\n defined at %s\n used at %s", types.ObjectString(obj, types.RelativeTo(pkg)), fset.Position(obj.Pos()), strings.Join(uses, ", ")) items = append(items, item) } sort.Strings(items) // sort by line:col, in effect fmt.Println(strings.Join(items, "\n")) fmt.Println() fmt.Println("Types and Values of each expression:") items = nil for expr, tv := range info.Types { var buf bytes.Buffer posn := fset.Position(expr.Pos()) tvstr := tv.Type.String() if tv.Value != nil { tvstr += " = " + tv.Value.String() } // line:col | expr | mode : type = value fmt.Fprintf(&buf, "%2d:%2d | %-19s | %-7s : %s", posn.Line, posn.Column, exprString(fset, expr), mode(tv), tvstr) items = append(items, buf.String()) } sort.Strings(items) fmt.Println(strings.Join(items, "\n")) } func mode(tv types.TypeAndValue) string { switch { case tv.IsVoid(): return "void" case tv.IsType(): return "type" case tv.IsBuiltin(): return "builtin" case tv.IsNil(): return "nil" case tv.Assignable(): if tv.Addressable() { return "var" } return "mapindex" case tv.IsValue(): return "value" default: return "unknown" } } func exprString(fset *token.FileSet, expr ast.Expr) string { var buf bytes.Buffer format.Node(&buf, fset, expr) return buf.String() }

type MethodSet ¶
type MethodSet struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A MethodSet is an ordered set of concrete or abstract (interface) methods; a method is a MethodVal selection, and they are ordered by ascending m.Obj().Id(). The zero value for a MethodSet is a ready-to-use empty method set.
Example ¶
ExampleMethodSet prints the method sets of various types.
package main import ( "fmt" "go/ast" "go/importer" "go/parser" "go/token" "go/types" "log" ) func main() { // Parse a single source file. const input = ` package temperature import "fmt" type Celsius float64 func (c Celsius) String() string { return fmt.Sprintf("%g°C", c) } func (c *Celsius) SetF(f float64) { *c = Celsius(f - 32 / 9 * 5) } ` fset := token.NewFileSet() f, err := parser.ParseFile(fset, "celsius.go", input, 0) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } // Type-check a package consisting of this file. // Type information for the imported packages // comes from $GOROOT/pkg/$GOOS_$GOOARCH/fmt.a. conf := types.Config{Importer: importer.Default()} pkg, err := conf.Check("temperature", fset, []*ast.File{f}, nil) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } // Print the method sets of Celsius and *Celsius. celsius := pkg.Scope().Lookup("Celsius").Type() for _, t := range []types.Type{celsius, types.NewPointer(celsius)} { fmt.Printf("Method set of %s:\n", t) mset := types.NewMethodSet(t) for i := 0; i < mset.Len(); i++ { fmt.Println(mset.At(i)) } fmt.Println() } }

func LookupFieldOrMethod ¶
func LookupFieldOrMethod(T Type, addressable bool, pkg *Package, name string) (obj Object, index []int, indirect bool)
LookupFieldOrMethod looks up a field or method with given package and name in T and returns the corresponding *Var or *Func, an index sequence, and a bool indicating if there were any pointer indirections on the path to the field or method. If addressable is set, T is the type of an addressable variable (only matters for method lookups).
The last index entry is the field or method index in the (possibly embedded) type where the entry was found, either:
- the list of declared methods of a named type; or
- the list of all methods (method set) of an interface type; or
- the list of fields of a struct type.
The earlier index entries are the indices of the anonymous struct fields traversed to get to the found entry, starting at depth 0.
If no entry is found, a nil object is returned. In this case, the returned index and indirect values have the following meaning:
If index != nil, the index sequence points to an ambiguous entry (the same name appeared more than once at the same embedding level).
If indirect is set, a method with a pointer receiver type was found but there was no pointer on the path from the actual receiver type to the method's formal receiver base type, nor was the receiver addressable.
type Package ¶
type Package struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A Package describes a Go package.
func NewPackage ¶
NewPackage returns a new Package for the given package path and name. The package is not complete and contains no explicit imports.
func (*Package) Complete ¶
A package is complete if its scope contains (at least) all exported objects; otherwise it is incomplete.
func (*Package) Imports ¶
Imports returns the list of packages directly imported by pkg; the list is in source order.
If pkg was loaded from export data, Imports includes packages that provide package-level objects referenced by pkg. This may be more or less than the set of packages directly imported by pkg's source code.
func (*Package) MarkComplete ¶
func (pkg *Package) MarkComplete()
MarkComplete marks a package as complete.
func (*Package) Scope ¶
Scope returns the (complete or incomplete) package scope holding the objects declared at package level (TypeNames, Consts, Vars, and Funcs).
func (*Package) SetImports ¶
SetImports sets the list of explicitly imported packages to list. It is the caller's responsibility to make sure list elements are unique.
type PkgName ¶
type PkgName struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A PkgName represents an imported Go package.
func NewPkgName ¶
type Pointer ¶
type Pointer struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A Pointer represents a pointer type.
func NewPointer ¶
NewPointer returns a new pointer type for the given element (base) type.
func (*Pointer) Underlying ¶
type Qualifier ¶
A Qualifier controls how named package-level objects are printed in calls to TypeString, ObjectString, and SelectionString.
These three formatting routines call the Qualifier for each package-level object O, and if the Qualifier returns a non-empty string p, the object is printed in the form p.O. If it returns an empty string, only the object name O is printed.
Using a nil Qualifier is equivalent to using (*Package).Path: the object is qualified by the import path, e.g., "encoding/json.Marshal".
func RelativeTo ¶
RelativeTo(pkg) returns a Qualifier that fully qualifies members of all packages other than pkg.
type Scope ¶
type Scope struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A Scope maintains a set of objects and links to its containing (parent) and contained (children) scopes. Objects may be inserted and looked up by name. The zero value for Scope is a ready-to-use empty scope.
Example ¶
ExampleScope prints the tree of Scopes of a package created from a set of parsed files.
package main import ( "bytes" "fmt" "go/ast" "go/importer" "go/parser" "go/token" "go/types" "log" "regexp" ) func main() { // Parse the source files for a package. fset := token.NewFileSet() var files []*ast.File for _, file := range []struct{ name, input string }{ {"main.go", ` package main import "fmt" func main() { freezing := FToC(-18) fmt.Println(freezing, Boiling) } `}, {"celsius.go", ` package main import "fmt" type Celsius float64 func (c Celsius) String() string { return fmt.Sprintf("%g°C", c) } func FToC(f float64) Celsius { return Celsius(f - 32 / 9 * 5) } const Boiling Celsius = 100 `}, } { f, err := parser.ParseFile(fset, file.name, file.input, 0) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } files = append(files, f) } // Type-check a package consisting of these files. // Type information for the imported "fmt" package // comes from $GOROOT/pkg/$GOOS_$GOOARCH/fmt.a. conf := types.Config{Importer: importer.Default()} pkg, err := conf.Check("temperature", fset, files, nil) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } // Print the tree of scopes. // For determinism, we redact addresses. var buf bytes.Buffer pkg.Scope().WriteTo(&buf, 0, true) rx := regexp.MustCompile(` 0x[a-fA-F0-9]*`) fmt.Println(rx.ReplaceAllString(buf.String(), "")) }
Output: package "temperature" scope { . const temperature.Boiling temperature.Celsius . type temperature.Celsius float64 . func temperature.FToC(f float64) temperature.Celsius . func temperature.main() . main.go scope { . . package fmt . . function scope { . . . var freezing temperature.Celsius . . }. } . celsius.go scope { . . package fmt . . function scope { . . . var c temperature.Celsius . . } . . function scope { . . . var f float64 . . }. }}
func NewScope ¶
NewScope returns a new, empty scope contained in the given parent scope, if any. The comment is for debugging only.
func (*Scope) Contains ¶
Contains returns true if pos is within the scope's extent. The result is guaranteed to be valid only if the type-checked AST has complete position information.
func (*Scope) Innermost ¶
Innermost returns the innermost (child) scope containing pos. If pos is not within any scope, the result is nil. The result is also nil for the Universe scope. The result is guaranteed to be valid only if the type-checked AST has complete position information.
func (*Scope) Insert ¶
Insert attempts to insert an object obj into scope s. If s already contains an alternative object alt with the same name, Insert leaves s unchanged and returns alt. Otherwise it inserts obj, sets the object's parent scope if not already set, and returns nil.
func (*Scope) Lookup ¶
Lookup returns the object in scope s with the given name if such an object exists; otherwise the result is nil.
func (*Scope) LookupParent ¶
LookupParent follows the parent chain of scopes starting with s until it finds a scope where Lookup(name) returns a non-nil object, and then returns that scope and object. If a valid position pos is provided, only objects that were declared at or before pos are considered. If no such scope and object exists, the result is (nil, nil).
Note that obj.Parent() may be different from the returned scope if the object was inserted into the scope and already had a parent at that time (see Insert, below). This can only happen for dot-imported objects whose scope is the scope of the package that exported them.
func (*Scope) NumChildren ¶
NumChildren() returns the number of scopes nested in s.
func (*Scope) Pos ¶
Pos and End describe the scope's source code extent [pos, end). The results are guaranteed to be valid only if the type-checked AST has complete position information. The extent is undefined for Universe and package scopes.
type Selection ¶
type Selection struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A Selection describes a selector expression x.f. For the declarations:
type T struct{ x int; E } type E struct{} func (e E) m() {} var p *T
the following relations exist:
Selector Kind Recv Obj Type Index Indirect p.x FieldVal T x int {0} true p.m MethodVal *T m func (e *T) m() {1, 0} true T.m MethodExpr T m func m(_ T) {1, 0} false
func (*Selection) Index ¶
Index describes the path from x to f in x.f. The last index entry is the field or method index of the type declaring f; either:
- the list of declared methods of a named type; or
- the list of methods of an interface type; or
- the list of fields of a struct type.
The earlier index entries are the indices of the embedded fields implicitly traversed to get from (the type of) x to f, starting at embedding depth 0.
func (*Selection) Indirect ¶
Indirect reports whether any pointer indirection was required to get from x to f in x.f.
type SelectionKind ¶
type SelectionKind int
SelectionKind describes the kind of a selector expression x.f (excluding qualified identifiers).
const ( FieldVal SelectionKind = iota // x.f is a struct field selector MethodVal // x.f is a method selector MethodExpr // x.f is a method expression )
type Signature ¶
type Signature struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A Signature represents a (non-builtin) function or method type.
func NewSignature ¶
NewSignature returns a new function type for the given receiver, parameters, and results, either of which may be nil. If variadic is set, the function is variadic, it must have at least one parameter, and the last parameter must be of unnamed slice type.
func (*Signature) Recv ¶
Recv returns the receiver of signature s (if a method), or nil if a function.
For an abstract method, Recv returns the enclosing interface either as a *Named or an *Interface. Due to embedding, an interface may contain methods whose receiver type is a different interface.
func (*Signature) Underlying ¶
type Sizes ¶
type Sizes interface { // Alignof returns the alignment of a variable of type T. // Alignof must implement the alignment guarantees required by the spec. Alignof(T Type) int64 // Offsetsof returns the offsets of the given struct fields, in bytes. // Offsetsof must implement the offset guarantees required by the spec. Offsetsof(fields []*Var) []int64 // Sizeof returns the size of a variable of type T. // Sizeof must implement the size guarantees required by the spec. Sizeof(T Type) int64 }
Sizes defines the sizing functions for package unsafe.
func SizesFor ¶
SizesFor returns the Sizes used by a compiler for an architecture. The result is nil if a compiler/architecture pair is not known.
Supported architectures for compiler "gc": "386", "arm", "arm64", "amd64", "amd64p32", "mips", "mipsle", "mips64", "mips64le", "ppc64", "ppc64le", "s390x".
type Slice ¶
type Slice struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A Slice represents a slice type.
func (*Slice) Underlying ¶
type StdSizes ¶
type StdSizes struct { WordSize int64 // word size in bytes - must be >= 4 (32bits) MaxAlign int64 // maximum alignment in bytes - must be >= 1 }
StdSizes is a convenience type for creating commonly used Sizes. It makes the following simplifying assumptions:
- The size of explicitly sized basic types (int16, etc.) is the specified size.
- The size of strings and interfaces is 2*WordSize.
- The size of slices is 3*WordSize.
- The size of an array of n elements corresponds to the size of a struct of n consecutive fields of the array's element type.
- The size of a struct is the offset of the last field plus that field's size. As with all element types, if the struct is used in an array its size must first be aligned to a multiple of the struct's alignment.
- All other types have size WordSize.
- Arrays and structs are aligned per spec definition; all other types are naturally aligned with a maximum alignment MaxAlign.
*StdSizes implements Sizes.
type Struct ¶
type Struct struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A Struct represents a struct type.
func NewStruct ¶
NewStruct returns a new struct with the given fields and corresponding field tags. If a field with index i has a tag, tags[i] must be that tag, but len(tags) may be only as long as required to hold the tag with the largest index i. Consequently, if no field has a tag, tags may be nil.
func (*Struct) NumFields ¶
NumFields returns the number of fields in the struct (including blank and anonymous fields).
func (*Struct) Underlying ¶
type Tuple ¶
type Tuple struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A Tuple represents an ordered list of variables; a nil *Tuple is a valid (empty) tuple. Tuples are used as components of signatures and to represent the type of multiple assignments; they are not first class types of Go.
func (*Tuple) Underlying ¶
type Type ¶
type Type interface { // Underlying returns the underlying type of a type. Underlying() Type // String returns a string representation of a type. String() string }
A Type represents a type of Go. All types implement the Type interface.
type TypeAndValue ¶
type TypeAndValue struct { Type Type Value constant.Value // contains filtered or unexported fields }
TypeAndValue reports the type and value (for constants) of the corresponding expression.
func Eval ¶
Eval returns the type and, if constant, the value for the expression expr, evaluated at position pos of package pkg, which must have been derived from type-checking an AST with complete position information relative to the provided file set.
If the expression contains function literals, their bodies are ignored (i.e., the bodies are not type-checked).
If pkg == nil, the Universe scope is used and the provided position pos is ignored. If pkg != nil, and pos is invalid, the package scope is used. Otherwise, pos must belong to the package.
An error is returned if pos is not within the package or if the node cannot be evaluated.
Note: Eval should not be used instead of running Check to compute types and values, but in addition to Check. Eval will re-evaluate its argument each time, and it also does not know about the context in which an expression is used (e.g., an assignment). Thus, top- level untyped constants will return an untyped type rather then the respective context-specific type.
func (TypeAndValue) Addressable ¶
func (tv TypeAndValue) Addressable() bool
Addressable reports whether the corresponding expression is addressable (https://golang.org/ref/spec#Address_operators).
func (TypeAndValue) Assignable ¶
func (tv TypeAndValue) Assignable() bool
Assignable reports whether the corresponding expression is assignable to (provided a value of the right type).
func (TypeAndValue) HasOk ¶
func (tv TypeAndValue) HasOk() bool
HasOk reports whether the corresponding expression may be used on the lhs of a comma-ok assignment.
func (TypeAndValue) IsBuiltin ¶
func (tv TypeAndValue) IsBuiltin() bool
IsBuiltin reports whether the corresponding expression denotes a (possibly parenthesized) built-in function.
func (TypeAndValue) IsNil ¶
func (tv TypeAndValue) IsNil() bool
IsNil reports whether the corresponding expression denotes the predeclared value nil.
func (TypeAndValue) IsType ¶
func (tv TypeAndValue) IsType() bool
IsType reports whether the corresponding expression specifies a type.
func (TypeAndValue) IsValue ¶
func (tv TypeAndValue) IsValue() bool
IsValue reports whether the corresponding expression is a value. Builtins are not considered values. Constant values have a non- nil Value.
func (TypeAndValue) IsVoid ¶
func (tv TypeAndValue) IsVoid() bool
IsVoid reports whether the corresponding expression is a function call without results.
type TypeName ¶
type TypeName struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
A TypeName represents a name for a (named or alias) type.
