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.

  37.     // for unused imports.
  38.     DisableUnusedImportCheck bool
  39. }

A Config specifies the configuration for type checking. The zero value for
Config is a ready-to-use default configuration.

func (*Config) 

  1. func (conf *) Check(path string, fset *.FileSet, files []*.File, info *) (*Package, )

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 (“.”).

  2.     // contains filtered or unexported fields
  3. }

A Const represents a declared constant.

  3.     Pos  token.      // error position
  4.     Msg  string         // error message
  5.     Soft            // if set, error is "soft"
  6. }

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.

func (Error) Error

  1. func (err Error) Error()

Error returns an error string formatted as follows: filenamecolumn:
message

type Func

  1. type Func struct {
  2.     // contains filtered or unexported fields
  3. }

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

  1. func MissingMethod(V Type, T *, static bool) (method *, wrongType bool)

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).

func 

  1. func NewFunc(pos .Pos, pkg *, name string, sig *) *Func

NewFunc returns a new function with the given signature, representing the
function’s type.

func (*Func)

func (*Func) String

  1. func (obj *Func) String()

func (*Func) Type

  1. func (obj *Func) Type()

type ImportMode

  1. type ImportMode int

ImportMode is reserved for future use.

type 

  1. type Importer interface {
  2.     // Import returns the imported package for the given import path.
  3.     // The semantics is like for ImporterFrom.ImportFrom except that
  4.     // dir and mode are ignored (since they are not present).
  5.     Import(path ) (*Package, )
  6. }

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 

  1. type ImporterFrom interface {
  2.     // Importer is present for backward-compatibility. Calling
  3.     // Import(path) is the same as calling ImportFrom(path, "", 0);
  4.     // i.e., locally vendored packages may not be found.
  5.     // The types package does not call Import if an ImporterFrom
  6.     // is present.
  7.     
  8.  
  9.     // ImportFrom returns the imported package for the given import
  10.     // path when imported by a package file located in dir.
  11.     // If the import failed, besides returning an error, ImportFrom
  12.     // is encouraged to cache and return a package anyway, if one
  13.     // was created. This will reduce package inconsistencies and
  14.     // follow-on type checker errors due to the missing package.
  15.     // The mode value must be 0; it is reserved for future use.
  16.     // Two calls to ImportFrom with the same path and dir must
  17.     // return the same package.
  18.     ImportFrom(path, dir string, mode ) (*Package, )
  19. }

An ImporterFrom resolves import paths to packages; it supports vendoring per
https://golang.org/s/go15vendor. Use go/importer to obtain an ImporterFrom
implementation.

func 

  1. func LookupFieldOrMethod(T , addressable bool, pkg *, name string) (obj , index []int, indirect )

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:

  1. 1) the list of declared methods of a named type; or
  2. 2) the list of all methods (method set) of an interface type; or
  3. 3) 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:

  1.     - If index != nil, the index sequence points to an ambiguous entry
  2.     (the same name appeared more than once at the same embedding level).
  4.     - If indirect is set, a method with a pointer receiver type was found
  6.     the method's formal receiver base type, nor was the receiver addressable.

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

  1. func RelativeTo(pkg *Package)

RelativeTo(pkg) returns a Qualifier that fully qualifies members of all packages
other than pkg.

func 

  1. func NewScope(parent *, pos, end token., comment string) *

NewScope returns a new, empty scope contained in the given parent scope, if any.
The comment is for debugging only.

func (*Scope) Child

  1. func (s *Scope) Child(i ) *Scope

Child returns the i’th child scope for 0 <= i < NumChildren().

func (*Scope) 

  1. func (s *) Contains(pos token.) bool

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) 

  1. func (s *) End() token.

func (*Scope) Innermost

  1. func (s *Scope) Innermost(pos .Pos) *

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) Len

  1. func (s *Scope) Len()

Len() returns the number of scope elements.

func (*Scope) Lookup

  1. func (s *Scope) Lookup(name ) Object

Lookup returns the object in scope s with the given name if such an object
exists; otherwise the result is nil.

func (*Scope) 

  1. func (s *) LookupParent(name string, pos .Pos) (*, Object)

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) 

  1. func (s *) Names() []string

Names returns the scope’s element names in sorted order.

func (*Scope) 

  1. func (s *) NumChildren() int

NumChildren() returns the number of scopes nested in s.

func (*Scope) 

  1. func (s *) Parent() *Scope

Parent returns the scope’s containing (parent) scope.

  1. func (s *) Pos() token.

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.

func (*Scope) String

  1. func (s *Scope) String()

String returns a string representation of the scope, for debugging.

func (*Scope) WriteTo

  1. func (s *Scope) WriteTo(w .Writer, n , recurse bool)

WriteTo writes a string representation of the scope to w, with the scope
elements sorted by name. The level of indentation is controlled by n >= 0, with
n == 0 for no indentation. If recurse is set, it also writes nested (children)
scopes.

type 

  1. type Selection struct {

  2. 2) the list of methods of an interface type; or
  3. 3) 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)

func NewSignature

  1. func NewSignature(recv *Var, params, results *, variadic bool) *

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.

  1. func (s *Signature) Params() *

Params returns the parameters of signature s, or nil.

func (*Signature) Recv

  1. func (s *Signature) Recv() *

Recv returns the receiver of signature s (if a method), or nil if a function. It
is ignored when comparing signatures for identity.

  3.     // Alignof must implement the alignment guarantees required by the spec.
  4.     Alignof(T Type) 
  5.  
  6.     // Offsetsof returns the offsets of the given struct fields, in bytes.
  7.     // Offsetsof must implement the offset guarantees required by the spec.
  8.     Offsetsof(fields []*Var) []
  9.

  2.     WordSize int64 // word size in bytes - must be >= 4 (32bits)
  3.     MaxAlign  // maximum alignment in bytes - must be >= 1
  4. }

StdSizes is a convenience type for creating commonly used Sizes. It makes the
following simplifying assumptions:

  1.     - The size of explicitly sized basic types (int16, etc.) is the
  2.       specified size.
  3.     - The size of strings and interfaces is 2*WordSize.
  4.     - The size of slices is 3*WordSize.
  5.     - The size of an array of n elements corresponds to the size of
  6.       a struct of n consecutive fields of the array's element type.
  7.      - The size of a struct is the offset of the last field plus that
  8.       field's size. As with all element types, if the struct is used
  9.       in an array its size must first be aligned to a multiple of the
  10.       struct's alignment.
  11.     - All other types have size WordSize.
  12.     - Arrays and structs are aligned per spec definition; all other
  13.       types are naturally aligned with a maximum alignment MaxAlign.

func 

  1. func NewStruct(fields []*, tags []string) *

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)

  6.     String() string
  7. }

A Type represents a type of Go. All types implement the Type interface.

func 

  1. func Default(typ ) Type

Default returns the default “typed” type for an “untyped” type; it returns the

nil.

type 

  1. type TypeAndValue struct {
  2.     Type  
  3.     Value constant.
  4.     // contains filtered or unexported fields
  5. }

TypeAndValue reports the type and value (for constants) of the corresponding
expression.

func Eval

  1. func Eval(fset *token., pkg *Package, pos .Pos, expr ) (TypeAndValue, )

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.
