The current proposal says
<https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/refs/heads/master/design/go2draft-type-parameters.md#using-types-that-refer-to-themselves-in-constraints>
*The rule is that if a type contraint has a single type parameter, and it
is used in a function's type parameter list without an explicit type
argument, then the type argument is the type parameter being constrained.*
That means you can write
type Comparer[T any] interface {
Compare(T) int
}
func Min[T Comparer](x, y T) bool {
if x.Compare(y) < 0 {
return x
}
return y
}
Applying the same rule to type lists and type switches you should be able
to write
type Comparer[T any] interface {
Compare(T) int
}
type CompareConstraints interface {
type int, int8, …, float64, string, Comparer
}
func Min[T CompareConstraints](x, y T) bool {
switch T {
case int:
…
…
case Comparer:
if x.Compare(y) < 0 {
return x
}
return y
}
}
But the current proposal does not allow interfaces in type lists.
