Ok, asked and answered. Figuring out .Addr() was a key, as was finding the magic incantation to get a handle to a method. I'm curious if there's a better method.
https://play.golang.org/p/49Yj9G0egRI package main import ( "fmt" "reflect" ) type FooTypeA uint8 type FooTypeB uint8 type MyStruct struct { Foo FooTypeA Bar FooTypeB } func (mt *FooTypeA) Validate() bool { return *mt > 1 } func (mt *FooTypeB) Validate() bool { return *mt > 0 } func (ms *MyStruct) Validate() bool { s := reflect.ValueOf(ms).Elem() // Call Validate on all fields for i := 0; i < s.NumField(); i++ { f := s.Field(i).Addr() method, _ := f.Type().MethodByName("Validate") outs := method.Func.Call([]reflect.Value{f}) if !outs[0].Bool() { return false } } return true } func main() { mytype := &MyStruct{ Foo: FooTypeA(2), Bar: FooTypeB(5), } fmt.Println("what is mytype? ", mytype) if !mytype.Validate() { fmt.Println("Validation failed") } } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
