Hi,
I notice Go's compiler examines the interface signature somewhat
superficially. It is best to explain the situation using code:
Given in Package a,
package a
type Arg interface{
DoSomething()
}
type Worker interface{
Work(arg Arg)
}
func NewWorker() Worker{
//...
}
Then Package a is consumed in Package b,
package b
type Arg interface{
DoSomething()
}
type Worker interface{
Work(arg Arg)
}
func SomewhereInB(){
var worker Worker
worker = a.NewWorker() //compile failure: worker does not implement
Work(b.Arg)
//...
}
I believe the compiler should be able to deduce that a.Arg and b.Arg are
identical and therefore Work(a.Arg) and Work(b.Arg) should also be
identical. Thus, a.Worker and b.Worker are identical. The compiler fails to
recognize this. Is this a bug?
Thanks.
Henry
