This type may itself be an alias. 22 // Call [Unalias] to obtain the first non-alias type in a chain of 23 // alias type declarations. 24 // 25 // Like a defined ([Named]) type, an alias type has a name. 26 // Use the [Alias.Obj] method to access its [TypeName] object. 27 // 28 // Historically, Alias types were not materialized so that, in the example 29 // above, A's type was represented by a Basic (int), not an Alias 30 // whose [Alias.Rhs] is int. But Go 1.24 allows you to declare an 31 // alias type with type parameters or arguments: 32 // 33 // type Set[K comparable] = map[K]bool 34 // s := make(Set[String]) 35 // 36 // and this requires that Alias types be materialized. Use the 37 // [Alias.TypeParams] and [Alias.TypeArgs] methods to access them. 38 // 39 // To ease the transition, the Alias type was introduced in go1.22, 40 // but the type-checker would not construct values of this type unless 41 // the GODEBUG=gotypesalias=1 environment variable was provided. 42 // Starting in go1.23, this variable is enabled by default. 43 // This setting also causes the predeclared type "any" to be 44 // represented as an Alias, not a bare [Interface]. 45 type Alias struct { 46 obj *TypeName // corresponding declared alias object 47 orig *Alias // original, uninstantiated alias 48 tparams *TypeParamList // type parameters, or nil 49 targs *TypeList // type arguments, or nil 50 fromRHS Type // RHS of type alias declaration; may be an alias 51 actual Type // actual (aliased) type; never an alias 52 } 53 54 // NewAlias creates a new Alias type with the given type name and rhs. 55 // If rhs is nil, the alias is incomplete. 56 func NewAlias(obj *TypeName, rhs Type) *Alias { 57 alias := (*Checker)(nil).newAlias(obj, rhs) 58 // Ensure that alias.actual is set (#65455). 59 alias.cleanup() 60 return alias 61 } 62 63 // Obj returns the type name for the declaration defining the alias type a. 64 // For instantiated types, this is same as the type name of the origin type. 65 func (a *Alias) Obj() *TypeName { return a.orig.obj } 66 67 func (a *Alias) String() string { return TypeString(a, nil) } 68 69 // Underlying returns the [underlying type] of the alias type a, which is the 70 // underlying type of the aliased type.
