The *Basic type for Typ[Byte] will have the name "uint8". Use Universe.Lookup("byte").Type() to obtain the specific alias basic type named "byte" (and analogous for "rune").
var Typ = []*Basic{ Invalid: {Invalid, 0, "invalid type"}, Bool: {Bool, IsBoolean, "bool"}, Int: {Int, IsInteger, "int"}, Int8: {Int8, IsInteger, "int8"}, Int16: {Int16, IsInteger, "int16"}, Int32: {Int32, IsInteger, "int32"}, Int64: {Int64, IsInteger, "int64"}, Uint: {Uint, IsInteger | IsUnsigned, "uint"}, Uint8: {Uint8, IsInteger | IsUnsigned, "uint8"}, Uint16: {Uint16, IsInteger | IsUnsigned, "uint16"}, Uint32: {Uint32, IsInteger | IsUnsigned, "uint32"}, Uint64: {Uint64, IsInteger | IsUnsigned, "uint64"}, Uintptr: {Uintptr, IsInteger | IsUnsigned, "uintptr"}, Float32: {Float32, IsFloat, "float32"}, Float64: {Float64, IsFloat, "float64"}, Complex64: {Complex64, IsComplex, "complex64"}, Complex128: {Complex128, IsComplex, "complex128"}, String: {String, IsString, "string"}, UnsafePointer: {UnsafePointer, 0, "Pointer"}, UntypedBool: {UntypedBool, IsBoolean | IsUntyped, "untyped bool"}, UntypedInt: {UntypedInt, IsInteger | IsUntyped, "untyped int"}, UntypedRune: {UntypedRune, IsInteger | IsUntyped, "untyped rune"}, UntypedFloat: {UntypedFloat, IsFloat | IsUntyped, "untyped float"}, UntypedComplex: {UntypedComplex, IsComplex | IsUntyped, "untyped complex"}, UntypedString: {UntypedString, IsString | IsUntyped, "untyped string"}, UntypedNil: {UntypedNil, IsUntyped, "untyped nil"}, }

func CheckExpr(fset *token.FileSet, pkg *Package, pos token.Pos, expr ast.Expr, info *Info) (err error)
CheckExpr type checks the expression expr as if it had appeared at position pos of package pkg. Type information about the expression is recorded in info.
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 type-checked.
Note: Eval and CheckExpr should not be used instead of running Check to compute types and values, but in addition to Check, as these functions ignore 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.

Error func(err error)
// An importer is used to import packages referred to from

// 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) 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)

// 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.

// type switch headers), the corresponding objects are nil.
//
// For an embedded 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.

// *ast.Field anonymous parameter *Var (incl. unnamed results)
//
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

// 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

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:
1) the list of declared methods of a named type; or 2) the list of all methods (method set) of an interface type; or 3) the list of fields of a struct type.
The earlier index entries are the indices of the embedded 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.

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 (pkg *Package) MarkComplete()
MarkComplete marks a package as complete.
func (pkg *Package) Name() string
Name returns the package name.
func (pkg *Package) Path() string

SetImports sets the list of explicitly imported packages to list. It is the caller's responsibility to make sure list elements are unique.
func (pkg *Package) SetName(name string)
SetName sets the package name.
func (pkg *Package) String() string
A PkgName represents an imported Go package. PkgNames don't have a type.
type PkgName struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
func NewPkgName(pos token.Pos, pkg *Package, name string, imported *Package) *PkgName
NewPkgName returns a new PkgName object representing an imported package. The remaining arguments set the attributes found with all Objects.
func (obj *PkgName) Exported() bool
Exported reports whether the object is exported (starts with a capital letter). It doesn't take into account whether the object is in a local (function) scope or not.
func (obj *PkgName) Id() string
Id is a wrapper for Id(obj.Pkg(), obj.Name()).
func (obj *PkgName) Imported() *Package
Imported returns the package that was imported. It is distinct from Pkg(), which is the package containing the import statement.
func (obj *PkgName) Name() string
Name returns the object's (package-local, unqualified) name.
func (obj *PkgName) Parent() *Scope
Parent returns the scope in which the object is declared. The result is nil for methods and struct fields.
func (obj *PkgName) Pkg() *Package
Pkg returns the package to which the object belongs. The result is nil for labels and objects in the Universe scope.
func (obj *PkgName) Pos() token.Pos

Elem returns the element type for the given pointer p.
func (t *Pointer) String() string
func (t *Pointer) Underlying() Type
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".
type Qualifier func(*Package) string
func RelativeTo(pkg *Package) Qualifier
RelativeTo returns a Qualifier that fully qualifies members of all packages other than pkg.
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.
type Scope struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
The Universe scope contains all predeclared objects of Go. It is the outermost scope of any chain of nested scopes.
var Universe *Scope
func NewScope(parent *Scope, pos, end token.Pos, comment string) *Scope
NewScope returns a new, empty scope contained in the given parent scope, if any. The comment is for debugging only.
func (s *Scope) Child(i int) *Scope
Child returns the i'th child scope for 0 <= i < NumChildren().
func (s *Scope) Contains(pos token.Pos) bool
Contains reports whether 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 (s *Scope) End() token.Pos
func (s *Scope) Innermost(pos token.Pos) *Scope
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 (s *Scope) Insert(obj Object) Object
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 (s *Scope) Len() int
Len returns the number of scope elements.
func (s *Scope) Lookup(name string) Object
Lookup returns the object in scope s with the given name if such an object exists; otherwise the result is nil.
func (s *Scope) LookupParent(name string, pos token.Pos) (*Scope, 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). This can only happen for dot-imported objects whose scope is the scope of the package that exported them.
func (s *Scope) Names() []string
Names returns the scope's element names in sorted order.
func (s *Scope) NumChildren() int
NumChildren returns the number of scopes nested in s.
func (s *Scope) Parent() *Scope

func (s *Scope) Pos() token.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.
func (s *Scope) String() string
String returns a string representation of the scope, for debugging.
func (s *Scope) WriteTo(w io.Writer, n int, 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.
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() {1, 0} true
T.m MethodExpr T m func(T) {1, 0} false
type Selection struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
func (s *Selection) Index() []int
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:
1) the list of declared methods of a named type; or 2) the list of methods of an interface type; or 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.

type SelectionKind int
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 )
A Signature represents a (non-builtin) function or method type. The receiver is ignored when comparing signatures for identity.
type Signature struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
func NewSignature(recv *Var, params, results *Tuple, variadic bool) *Signature
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 (s *Signature) Params() *Tuple
Params returns the parameters of signature s, or nil.
func (s *Signature) Recv() *Var
Recv returns the receiver of signature s (if a method), or nil if a function. It is ignored when comparing signatures for identity.
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 (s *Signature) Results() *Tuple
Results returns the results of signature s, or nil.
func (t *Signature) String() string
func (t *Signature) Underlying() Type
func (s *Signature) Variadic() bool

func (s *Slice) Elem() Type
Elem returns the element type of slice s.
func (t *Slice) String() string
func (t *Slice) Underlying() Type
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.

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