[go-nuts] go: Passing a member function as an argument compile error

2019-03-28 Thread Greg Bostrom
I just posted this on on openstack.
Maybe someone here knows the answer?

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55410250/go-passing-a-member-function-as-an-argument-compile-error

I would expect this to compile after watching this talk by Rob Pike 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxaD_trXwRE&t=1830s 


package main

type StateFunc func(*M) StateFunc

type M struct {
start StateFunc
}

func New(start StateFunc) *M {
return &M{
start: start,
}
}

func (m *M) foo() StateFunc {
return nil
}

func (m *M) Start() {
go m.run()
}

func (m *M) run() {
state := m.start
for state != nil {
state = state(m)
}
}

func main() {
m := New(foo)
}


It fails with

prog.go:31:14: undefined: foo

No, I intended to call New(foo)

Thanks!
That compiles.
