Ok, I got what you mean. But I think changing the type of io.EOF to a constant Error is not very bad idea. After all, what care its type? We just care if a returned error equals to it. BTW, it looks, if interface values can be constant, this problem will be solved without breaking .Go 1 contract > > package p > > import "io" > > var P *error = &io.EOF > > Ian > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
