Equivalence of types
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
TODO: We may need to rethink this because of the new ways interfaces work.
|
||||
|
||||
Types are structurally equivalent: Two types are equivalent (``equal'') if they
|
||||
are constructed the same way from equivalent types.
|
||||
|
||||
For instance, all variables declared as "*int" have equivalent type,
|
||||
as do all variables declared as "map [string] *chan int".
|
||||
|
||||
More precisely, two struct types are equivalent if they have exactly the same fields
|
||||
in the same order, with equal field names and types. For all other composite types,
|
||||
the types of the components must be equivalent. Additionally, for equivalent arrays,
|
||||
the lengths must be equal (or absent), and for channel types the mode must be equal
|
||||
(">", "<", or none). The names of receivers, parameters, or result values of functions
|
||||
are ignored for the purpose of type equivalence.
|
||||
|
||||
For instance, the struct type
|
||||
|
||||
struct {
|
||||
a int;
|
||||
b int;
|
||||
f *(m *[32] float, x int, y int) bool
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
is equivalent to
|
||||
|
||||
struct {
|
||||
a, b int;
|
||||
f *F
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
where "F" is declared as "func (a *[30 + 2] float, b, c int) (ok bool)".
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, two interface types are equivalent if they both declare the same set of
|
||||
methods: For each method in the first interface type there is a method in the
|
||||
second interface type with the same method name and equivalent function type,
|
||||
and vice versa. Note that the declaration order of the methods is not relevant.
