spec: apply method sets, embedding to all types, not just named types
When we first wrote the method set definition, we had long discussions about whether method sets applied to all types or just named types, and we (or at least I) concluded that it didn't matter: the two were equivalent points of view, because the only way to introduce a new method was to write a method function, which requires a named receiver type. However, the addition of embedded types changed this. Embedding can introduce a method without writing an explicit method function, as in: var x struct { sync.Mutex } var px *struct { sync.Mutex } var _, _ sync.Locker = &x, px The edits in this CL make clear that both &x and px satisfy sync.Locker. Today, gccgo already works this way; 6g does not. R=golang-dev, gri, iant, r CC=golang-dev https://golang.org/cl/5702062
