Predeclared types are listed here: https://golang.org/ref/spec#Predeclared_identifiers in the section "Types:" Note that they do not "technically count". If 'name' is binded to a type in a declaration then type 'name' is a defined type. The rule is universal. The difference is that eg. `*int` is not a name (identifier), so it's a type literal defining a pointer to a named/defined type. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
