The SelectionKind 22 // describes the kind of the final (explicit) operation; all the 23 // previous (implicit) operations are always field selections. 24 // Each element of Indices specifies an implicit field (a, b, c) 25 // by its index in the struct type of the field selection operand. 26 // 27 // For a FieldVal operation, the final selection refers to the field 28 // specified by Selection.Obj. 29 // 30 // For a MethodVal operation, the final selection refers to a method. 31 // If the "pointerness" of the method's declared receiver does not 32 // match that of the effective receiver after implicit field 33 // selection, then an & or * operation is implicitly applied to the 34 // receiver variable or value. 35 // So, x.f denotes (&x.a.b.c).f when f requires a pointer receiver but 36 // x.a.b.c is a non-pointer variable; and it denotes (*x.a.b.c).f when 37 // f requires a non-pointer receiver but x.a.b.c is a pointer value. 38 // 39 // All pointer indirections, whether due to implicit or explicit field 40 // selections or * operations inserted for "pointerness", panic if 41 // applied to a nil pointer, so a method call x.f() may panic even 42 // before the function call. 43 // 44 // By contrast, a MethodExpr operation T.f is essentially equivalent 45 // to a function literal of the form: 46 // 47 // func(x T, args) (results) { return x.f(args) } 48 // 49 // Consequently, any implicit field selections and * operations 50 // inserted for "pointerness" are not evaluated until the function is 51 // called, so a T.f or (*T).f expression never panics. 52 type SelectionKind int 53 54 const ( 55 FieldVal SelectionKind = iota // x.f is a struct field selector 56 MethodVal // x.f is a method selector 57 MethodExpr // x.f is a method expression 58 ) 59 60 // A Selection describes a selector expression x.f. 61 // For the declarations: 62 // 63 // type T struct{ x int; E } 64 // type E struct{} 65 // func (e E) m() {} 66 // var p *T 67 // 68 // the following relations exist: 69 // 70 // Selector Kind Recv Obj Type Index Indirect 71 // 72 // p.x FieldVal T x int {0} true 73 // p.m MethodVal *T m func() {1, 0} true 74 // T.m MethodExpr T m func(T) {1, 0} false 75 type Selection struct { 76 kind SelectionKind 77 recv Type // type of x 78 obj Object // object denoted by x.f 79 index []int // path from x to x.f 80 indirect bool // set if there was any pointer indirection on the path 81 } 82 83 // Kind returns the selection kind. 84 func (s *Selection) Kind() SelectionKind { return s.kind } 85 86 // Recv returns the type of x in x.f. 87 func (s *Selection) Recv() Type { return s.recv } 88 89 // Obj returns the object denoted by x.f; a *Var for 90 // a field selection, and a *Func in all other cases. 91 func (s *Selection) Obj() Object { return s.obj } 92 93 // Type returns the type of x.f, which may be different from the type of f. 94 // See Selection for more information. 95 func (s *Selection) Type() Type { 96 switch s.kind { 97 case MethodVal: 98 // The type of x.f is a method with its receiver type set 99 // to the type of x. 100 sig := *s.obj.(*Func).typ.(*Signature) 101 recv := *sig.recv 102 recv.typ = s.recv 103 sig.recv = &recv 104 return &sig 105 106 case MethodExpr: 107 // The type of x.f is a function (without receiver) 108 // and an additional first argument with the same type as x. 109 // TODO(gri) Similar code is already in call.go - factor!
