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 AssertableTo 1.5

func AssertableTo(V *Interface, T Type) bool

AssertableTo reports whether a value of type V can be asserted to have type T.

func AssignableTo 1.5

func AssignableTo(V, T Type) bool

AssignableTo reports whether a value of type V is assignable to a variable of type T.

func CheckExpr 1.13

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.

func (*Const) Val 1.5

func (obj *Const) Val() constant.Value

Val returns the constant's value.

type Error 1.5

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 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"
		// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (Error) Error 1.5

func (err Error) Error() string

Error returns an error string formatted as follows: filename:line:column: message

type Func 1.5

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.

type Func struct {
		// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func MissingMethod 1.5

func MissingMethod(V Type, T *Interface, static bool) (method *Func, 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 NewFunc 1.5

func NewFunc(pos token.Pos, pkg *Package, name string, sig *Signature) *Func

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

type ImportMode int

type Importer 1.5

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 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)
}

type ImporterFrom 1.6

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 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)
}

type Info 1.5

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.

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 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.
		//
		// For an embedded 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 imports without renames
		//		 *ast.CaseClause		type-specific *Var for each type switch case clause (incl. default)
		//		 *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
		// 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
}
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.

Code:

}`
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.

fmt.Println("Defs and Uses of each named object:")
usesByObj := make(map[types.Object][]string)
for id, obj := range info.Uses {

				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"))

Output:

func LookupFieldOrMethod 1.5

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.

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

		// 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.

Example

ExampleScope prints the tree of Scopes of a package created from a set of parsed files.

Code:

// 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
func Unused() { {}; {{ var x int; _ = x }} } // make sure empty block scopes get printed
`},
} {
		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(), ""))

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.

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.
