Hello,
I'm working on a DAO adapter layer helper called Proteus
(https://github.com/jonbodner/proteus), and ran into an interesting quirk
in what Go considers equivalent interfaces. I recreated a simplified
version of the issue is at https://play.golang.org/p/BS3-bUKtO9 .
The code that I linked does not compile, with the error:
V does not implement CalcB (wrong type for Calculate method)
have Calculate(int) ResultA
want Calculate(int) ResultB
ResultA and ResultB are identical interfaces; both define a single method
Result that takes in no parameters and return an int.
However, if I put in a wrapper around V, I can get it to
work: https://play.golang.org/p/XUoZwsBaFn
What I don't understand is that the wrapper doesn't do any casting of
ResultA to ResultB, and that's OK in this situation. But the Go compiler
can't figure out that ResultA and ResultB are identical without that
wrapper. Why is that? Why does the compiler fail the first case and pass
the second one?
Thanks,
Jon
