Hello, Context: looked at: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28800672/how-to-add-new-methods-to-an-existing-type-in-go
as well as the discussion on this issue: ""cannot define new methods on non-local type ___" is not always an error #31631" https://github.com/golang/go/issues/31631 Often, the imported structs are inter-related, and you might be wanting to add a method to a struct that is contained in another external struct directly or as an array. So the solution suggested both in the stackoverflow response, and in the github discussion appear to me (please correct me if I am mistaken) not help with more complex external struct inter-relationships. Please take a look at my example in the playground: https://play.golang.org/p/c9jJvdVTU5l I would like to add a method to an external struct, then add an array of these to a struct that contains an array of the original external struct. Using either a new type or embedding a type will not work, creating either a: > cannot use make([]bEmbedded, 10) (type []bEmbedded) as type []B in assignment or > cannot use make([]bType, 10) (type []bType) as type []B in assignment Am I going about this the wrong way? :-) I would appreciate help on this.
