--- Comment #11 from Jiu Fu Guo <guojiufu at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Had a quick regression test on the patch: issue4458.go which pass before, but fail on this patch. Compiling message changed from "error: method expression requires named type or pointer to named type" to "error: method 'foo' is ambiguous" I'm not sure if this message change is expected or not. issue4458.go: package main type T struct{} func (T) foo() {} func main() { av := T{} pav := &av (**T).foo(&pav) // ERROR "no method .*foo|requires named type or pointer to named" }
