I apologize if this seems like an elementary question, but web searches and reading the Go documentation is not turning up an answer.
I'm in the process of translating reposurgeon, an editor for version-control histories, from Python into Go for improved performance, .The central data structure is Repository, which consists mainly of a list of events such as commits and tags. In Python, I use the language's late binding and simply declare a list of containing multiple object types named Commit, Tag, etc. There are also a number of lookup maps pointing at objects in the main event list. Because objects in Pytron are passed by reference everything is fairly straightforward. I'm trying to translate this to Go in a type-safe way. To do this, I need to be able to write two declarations: "Slice of pointers to objects satisfying the Event interface" and "map of string keys to pointers to objects satisfying the Event interface". My attempts so far have yielded very cryptic error messages and no success. Is it actually possible to restrict the main list's polymorphism in this way and avoid casts? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
