Why can't Go resolve methods declared on the pointer receiver of the
destination type?
consider:
type foo struct{
bar int
}
type Foo *foo
func (f *foo) GetBar() int {
return f.bar
}
func NewFoo(bar int) Foo {
return &foo{bar: bar}
}
func main() {
f1 := &foo{bar: 123}
fmt.Printf("%d\n", f1.GetBar())
f2 := NewFoo(456)
fmt.Printf("%d\n", f2.GetBar())
}
(playground link: https://play.golang.org/p/v0f9pYaTJAa )
it fails to compile with "prog.go:25:23: f2.GetBar undefined (type Foo has
no field or method GetBar)" but it's not clear to me, why Foo doesn't get
pointer methods from *foo.
