This type may itself be an alias. 23 // Call [Unalias] to obtain the first non-alias type in a chain of 24 // alias type declarations. 25 // 26 // Like a defined ([Named]) type, an alias type has a name. 27 // Use the [Alias.Obj] method to access its [TypeName] object. 28 // 29 // Historically, Alias types were not materialized so that, in the example 30 // above, A's type was represented by a Basic (int), not an Alias 31 // whose [Alias.Rhs] is int. But Go 1.24 allows you to declare an 32 // alias type with type parameters or arguments: 33 // 34 // type Set[K comparable] = map[K]bool 35 // s := make(Set[String]) 36 // 37 // and this requires that Alias types be materialized. Use the 38 // [Alias.TypeParams] and [Alias.TypeArgs] methods to access them. 39 // 40 // To ease the transition, the Alias type was introduced in go1.22, 41 // but the type-checker would not construct values of this type unless 42 // the GODEBUG=gotypesalias=1 environment variable was provided. 43 // Starting in go1.23, this variable is enabled by default. 44 // This setting also causes the predeclared type "any" to be 45 // represented as an Alias, not a bare [Interface]. 46 type Alias struct { 47 obj *TypeName // corresponding declared alias object 48 orig *Alias // original, uninstantiated alias 49 tparams *TypeParamList // type parameters, or nil 50 targs *TypeList // type arguments, or nil 51 fromRHS Type // RHS of type alias declaration; may be an alias 52 actual Type // actual (aliased) type; never an alias 53 } 54 55 // NewAlias creates a new Alias type with the given type name and rhs. 56 // rhs must not be nil. 57 func NewAlias(obj *TypeName, rhs Type) *Alias { 58 alias := (*Checker)(nil).newAlias(obj, rhs) 59 // Ensure that alias.actual is set (#65455). 60 alias.cleanup() 61 return alias 62 } 63 64 // Obj returns the type name for the declaration defining the alias type a. 65 // For instantiated types, this is same as the type name of the origin type. 66 func (a *Alias) Obj() *TypeName { return a.orig.obj } 67 68 func (a *Alias) String() string { return TypeString(a, nil) } 69 70 // Underlying returns the [underlying type] of the alias type a, which is the 71 // underlying type of the aliased type.
