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.

type Config

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

type Config struct {
    // If IgnoreFuncBodies is set, function bodies are not
    // type-checked.
    IgnoreFuncBodies bool

    // If FakeImportC is set, `import "C"` (for packages requiring Cgo)
    // declares an empty "C" package and errors are omitted for qualified
    // identifiers referring to package C (which won't find an object).
    // This feature is intended for the standard library cmd/api tool.
    //
    // Caution: Effects may be unpredictable due to follow-up errors.
    //          Do not use casually!
    FakeImportC bool

    // If Error != nil, it is called with each error found
    // during type checking; err has dynamic type Error.
    // Secondary errors (for instance, to enumerate all types
    // involved in an invalid recursive type declaration) have
    // error strings that start with a '\t' character.
    // If Error == nil, type-checking stops with the first
    // error found.
    Error func(err error)

    // An importer is used to import packages referred to from
    // import declarations.
    // If the installed importer implements ImporterFrom, the type
    // checker calls ImportFrom instead of Import.
    // The type checker reports an error if an importer is needed
    // but none was installed.
    Importer Importer

    // If Sizes != nil, it provides the sizing functions for package unsafe.
    // Otherwise &StdSizes{WordSize: 8, MaxAlign: 8} is used instead.

func (*Config) Check

func (conf *Config) Check(path string, fset *token.FileSet, files []*ast.File, info *Info) (*Package, error)

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 (".").

type Const

A Const represents a declared constant.

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

type Error

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

}

func (Error) Error

func (err Error) Error() string

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

type Func

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

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).

type Importer

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, or an error if the package couldn't be imported.
    // Two calls to Import with the same path return the same
    // package.
    Import(path string) (*Package, error)
}

type ImporterFrom

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 the package in srcDir, or an error
    // if the package couldn't be imported. The mode value must
    // be 0; it is reserved for future use.
    // Two calls to ImportFrom with the same path and srcDir return
    // the same package.
    ImportFrom(path, srcDir string, mode ImportMode) (*Package, error)
}

type Info

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 anonymous 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 anonymous 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 dot-imports and imports without renames
    //	*ast.CaseClause    type-specific *Var for each type switch case clause (incl. default)
    //      *ast.Field         anonymous parameter *Var
    //
    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:

// Parse a single source file.
const input = `
package fib

type S string

var a, b, c = len(b), S(c), "hello"

func fib(x int) int {
if x < 2 {
    return x
}
return fib(x-1) - fib(x-2)
}`
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.
info := types.Info{
    Types: make(map[ast.Expr]types.TypeAndValue),
    Defs:  make(map[*ast.Ident]types.Object),
    Uses:  make(map[*ast.Ident]types.Object),
}
var conf types.Config
pkg, err := conf.Check("fib", fset, []*ast.File{f}, &info)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

// Print package-level variables in initialization order.
fmt.Printf("InitOrder: %v\n\n", info.InitOrder)

// For each named object, print the line and
// column of its definition and each of its uses.
fmt.Println("Defs and Uses of each named object:")
usesByObj := make(map[types.Object][]string)
for id, obj := range info.Uses {
    posn := fset.Position(id.Pos())
    lineCol := fmt.Sprintf("%d:%d", posn.Line, posn.Column)
    usesByObj[obj] = append(usesByObj[obj], lineCol)
}
var items []string
for obj, uses := range usesByObj {
    sort.Strings(uses)
    item := fmt.Sprintf("%s:\n  defined at %s\n  used at %s",
        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

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 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:

	- 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.

func (*Package) Complete

func (pkg *Package) Complete() bool

A package is complete if its scope contains (at least) all exported objects; otherwise it is incomplete.

func (*Package) Imports

func (pkg *Package) Imports() []*Package

Imports returns the list of packages directly imported by pkg; the list is in source order. Package unsafe is excluded.

func (*Pointer) Underlying

func (t *Pointer) Underlying() Type

type Qualifier

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

func RelativeTo(pkg *Package) Qualifier

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

type Scope

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
}

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

func NewScope

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 (*Scope) Child

func (s *Scope) Child(i int) *Scope

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

func (*Scope) Contains

func (s *Scope) Contains(pos token.Pos) 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) End

func (s *Scope) End() token.Pos

func (*Scope) Innermost

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 (*Scope) Insert

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 (*Scope) Len

func (s *Scope) Len() int

Len() returns the number of scope elements.

func (*Scope) Lookup

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 (*Scope) LookupParent

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, below). This can only happen for dot-imported objects whose scope is the scope of the package that exported them.

func (*Scope) Names

func (s *Scope) Names() []string

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

func (*Scope) NumChildren

func (s *Scope) NumChildren() int

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

func (*Scope) Parent

func (s *Scope) Parent() *Scope

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

func (*Scope) Pos

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 (*Scope) String

func (s *Scope) String() string

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

func (*Scope) WriteTo

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.

type Selection

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 (e *T) m()    {1, 0}    true
T.m         MethodExpr    T       m      func m(_ T)        {1, 0}    false
type Selection struct {
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func (*Selection) Index

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.

func (*Selection) Indirect

func (s *Selection) Indirect() bool

Indirect reports whether any pointer indirection was required to get from x to f in x.f.

func (*Selection) Kind

func (s *Selection) Kind() SelectionKind

Kind returns the selection kind.

func (*Selection) Obj

func (s *Selection) Obj() Object

Obj returns the object denoted by x.f; a *Var for a field selection, and a *Func in all other cases.

func (*Selection) Recv

func (s *Selection) Recv() Type

Recv returns the type of x in x.f.

func (*Selection) String

func (s *Selection) String() string

func (*Selection) Type

func (s *Selection) Type() Type

Type returns the type of x.f, which may be different from the type of f. See Selection for more information.

type SelectionKind

SelectionKind describes the kind of a selector expression x.f (excluding qualified identifiers).

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
)

type Signature

A Signature represents a (non-builtin) function or method type.

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

func NewSignature

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 (*Signature) Params

func (s *Signature) Params() *Tuple

Params returns the parameters of signature s, or nil.

func (*Signature) Recv

func (s *Signature) Recv() *Var

Recv returns the receiver of signature s (if a method), or nil if a function.

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 (*Signature) Results

func (s *Signature) Results() *Tuple

Results returns the results of signature s, or nil.

func (*Signature) String

func (t *Signature) String() string

func (*Signature) Underlying

func (t *Signature) Underlying() Type

Variadic reports whether the signature s is variadic.

type Sizes

type Sizes interface {
    // Alignof returns the alignment of a variable of type T.
    // Alignof must implement the alignment guarantees required by the spec.
    Alignof(T Type) int64

    // Offsetsof returns the offsets of the given struct fields, in bytes.
    // Offsetsof must implement the offset guarantees required by the spec.
    Offsetsof(fields []*Var) []int64

    // Sizeof returns the size of a variable of type T.
    // Sizeof must implement the size guarantees required by the spec.
    Sizeof(T Type) int64
}

func (*Slice) String

func (t *Slice) String() string

func (*Slice) Underlying

func (t *Slice) Underlying() Type

type StdSizes

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.

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

func (*StdSizes) Alignof

func (s *StdSizes) Alignof(T Type) int64

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

func NewStruct

func NewStruct(fields []*Var, tags []string) *Struct

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) may be only as long as required to hold the tag with the largest index i. Consequently, if no field has a tag, tags may be nil.

func (*Struct) Field

func (s *Struct) Field(i int) *Var

Field returns the i'th field for 0 <= i < NumFields().

func (*Struct) NumFields

func (s *Struct) NumFields() int

func (*Struct) Tag

func (s *Struct) Tag(i int) string

Tag returns the i'th field tag for 0 <= i < NumFields().

func (*Struct) Underlying

func (t *Struct) Underlying() Type

type Tuple

A Tuple represents an ordered list of variables; a nil *Tuple is a valid (empty) tuple. Tuples are used as components of signatures and to represent the type of multiple assignments; they are not first class types of Go.

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

func NewTuple

func NewTuple(x ...*Var) *Tuple

NewTuple returns a new tuple for the given variables.

func (*Tuple) At

func (t *Tuple) At(i int) *Var

At returns the i'th variable of tuple t.

func (*Tuple) Len

func (t *Tuple) Len() int

Len returns the number variables of tuple t.

func (*Tuple) String

func (t *Tuple) String() string

func (*Tuple) Underlying

func (t *Tuple) Underlying() Type

type Type

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

type Type interface {
    // Underlying returns the underlying type of a type.
    Underlying() Type

    // String returns a string representation of a type.
    String() string
}

func Default

func Default(typ Type) Type

Default returns the default "typed" type for an "untyped" type; it returns the incoming type for all other types. The default type for untyped nil is untyped nil.

type TypeAndValue

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

type TypeAndValue struct {
    Type  Type
    Value constant.Value
    // contains filtered or unexported fields
}

func Eval

func Eval(fset *token.FileSet, pkg *Package, pos token.Pos, expr string) (TypeAndValue, error)

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.

func (TypeAndValue) Addressable

func (tv TypeAndValue) Addressable() bool

func (TypeAndValue) IsNil

func (tv TypeAndValue) IsNil() bool

IsNil reports whether the corresponding expression denotes the predeclared value nil.

func (TypeAndValue) IsType

func (tv TypeAndValue) IsType() bool

IsType reports whether the corresponding expression specifies a type.

func (TypeAndValue) IsValue

func (tv TypeAndValue) IsValue() bool
