Re: [go-nuts] Alternative to reflect.DeepEqual that considers "shape" of cycles?

https://golang.org/pkg/reflect/#DeepEqual "Pointer values are deeply equal if they are equal using Go's == operator or if they point to deeply equal values." By the rules described here, the fact that both pointers have the same value means it does not even NEED to check what they point to, so

[go-nuts] Alternative to reflect.DeepEqual that considers "shape" of cycles?

Is there an existing alternative to reflect.DeepEqual() that also respects the shape of the arguments? For example, the following tests fail: type List struct { next *List } func TestList(t *testing.T) { a := {} a.next = a b := {a} if reflect.DeepEqual(a, b) { t.Error("Lists are equal") } }
