I was looking at the documentation for package "reflect": https://golang.org/pkg/reflect/
At the top of the page is an index showing everything in the package. This includes information about reflect.Type: type Type <https://golang.org/pkg/reflect/#Type> func ArrayOf(count int, elem Type) Type <https://golang.org/pkg/reflect/#ArrayOf> func ChanOf(dir ChanDir, t Type) Type <https://golang.org/pkg/reflect/#ChanOf> func FuncOf(in, out []Type, variadic bool) Type <https://golang.org/pkg/reflect/#FuncOf> func MapOf(key, elem Type) Type <https://golang.org/pkg/reflect/#MapOf> func PtrTo(t Type) Type <https://golang.org/pkg/reflect/#PtrTo> func SliceOf(t Type) Type <https://golang.org/pkg/reflect/#SliceOf> func StructOf(fields []StructField) Type <https://golang.org/pkg/reflect/#StructOf> func TypeOf(i interface{}) Type <https://golang.org/pkg/reflect/#TypeOf> I was surprised that reflect.Type doesn't have any methods! Only functions that return reflect.Type, no functions that take reflect.Type as a receiver. That's weird. But then I saw this, later in the documentation: type Type interface { // Align returns the alignment in bytes of a value of // this type when allocated in memory. Align() int <https://golang.org/pkg/builtin/#int> // FieldAlign returns the alignment in bytes of a value of // this type when used as a field in a struct. FieldAlign() int <https://golang.org/pkg/builtin/#int> ... lots more methods ... So my question is: what does it mean that all the methods are missing from the index? Is this just a bug in the documentation generator? Is this a situation where these methods are tentative, as in, not nailed down yet?
