func Copy(dst, src Value) int
Copy copies the contents of src into dst until either dst has been filled or src has been exhausted. It returns the number of elements copied. Dst and src each must have kind Slice or Array, and dst and src must have the same element type.
func DeepEqual(a1, a2 interface{}) bool
DeepEqual tests for deep equality. It uses normal == equality where possible but will scan elements of arrays, slices, maps, and fields of structs. In maps, keys are compared with == but elements use deep equality. DeepEqual correctly handles recursive types. Functions are equal only if they are both nil. An empty slice is not equal to a nil slice.
func Select(cases []SelectCase) (chosen int, recv Value, recvOK bool)
Select executes a select operation described by the list of cases. Like the Go select statement, it blocks until at least one of the cases can proceed, makes a uniform pseudo-random choice, and then executes that case. It returns the index of the chosen case and, if that case was a receive operation, the value received and a boolean indicating whether the value corresponds to a send on the channel (as opposed to a zero value received because the channel is closed).
type ChanDir int
ChanDir represents a channel type's direction.
const (
RecvDir ChanDir = 1 << iota // <-chan
SendDir // chan<-
BothDir = RecvDir | SendDir // chan
)

}
Method represents a single method.
type SelectCase struct {
Dir SelectDir // direction of case
Chan Value // channel to use (for send or receive)
Send Value // value to send (for send)
}
A SelectCase describes a single case in a select operation. The kind of case depends on Dir, the communication direction.
If Dir is SelectDefault, the case represents a default case. Chan and Send must be zero Values.
If Dir is SelectSend, the case represents a send operation. Normally Chan's underlying value must be a channel, and Send's underlying value must be assignable to the channel's element type. As a special case, if Chan is a zero Value, then the case is ignored, and the field Send will also be ignored and may be either zero or non-zero.
If Dir is SelectRecv, the case represents a receive operation. Normally Chan's underlying value must be a channel and Send must be a zero Value. If Chan is a zero Value, then the case is ignored, but Send must still be a zero Value. When a receive operation is selected, the received Value is returned by Select.
type SelectDir int
A SelectDir describes the communication direction of a select case.
const (
SelectSend SelectDir // case Chan <- Send
SelectRecv // case <-Chan:
SelectDefault // default
)
type SliceHeader struct {
Data uintptr
Len int
Cap int
}
SliceHeader is the runtime representation of a slice. It cannot be used safely or portably and its representation may change in a later release. Moreover, the Data field is not sufficient to guarantee the data it references will not be garbage collected, so programs must keep a separate, correctly typed pointer to the underlying data.
type StringHeader struct {
Data uintptr
Len int
}
StringHeader is the runtime representation of a string. It cannot be used safely or portably and its representation may change in a later release. Moreover, the Data field is not sufficient to guarantee the data it references will not be garbage collected, so programs must keep a separate, correctly typed pointer to the underlying data.

Type Type // field type
Tag StructTag // field tag string
Offset uintptr // offset within struct, in bytes
Index []int // index sequence for Type.FieldByIndex
Anonymous bool // is an embedded field
}
A StructField describes a single field in a struct.
type StructTag string
A StructTag is the tag string in a struct field.
By convention, tag strings are a concatenation of optionally space-separated key:"value" pairs. Each key is a non-empty string consisting of non-control characters other than space (U+0020 ' '), quote (U+0022 '"'), and colon (U+003A ':'). Each value is quoted using U+0022 '"' characters and Go string literal syntax.
▹ Example
func (tag StructTag) Get(key string) string
Get returns the value associated with key in the tag string. If there is no such key in the tag, Get returns the empty string. If the tag does not have the conventional format, the value returned by Get is unspecified.

}
Type is the representation of a Go type.
Not all methods apply to all kinds of types. Restrictions, if any, are noted in the documentation for each method. Use the Kind method to find out the kind of type before calling kind-specific methods. Calling a method inappropriate to the kind of type causes a run-time panic.
func ChanOf(dir ChanDir, t Type) Type
ChanOf returns the channel type with the given direction and element type. For example, if t represents int, ChanOf(RecvDir, t) represents <-chan int.
The gc runtime imposes a limit of 64 kB on channel element types. If t's size is equal to or exceeds this limit, ChanOf panics.
func MapOf(key, elem Type) Type
MapOf returns the map type with the given key and element types. For example, if k represents int and e represents string, MapOf(k, e) represents map[int]string.
If the key type is not a valid map key type (that is, if it does not implement Go's == operator), MapOf panics.
func PtrTo(t Type) Type
PtrTo returns the pointer type with element t. For example, if t represents type Foo, PtrTo(t) represents *Foo.
func SliceOf(t Type) Type
SliceOf returns the slice type with element type t. For example, if t represents int, SliceOf(t) represents []int.
func TypeOf(i interface{}) Type
TypeOf returns the reflection Type of the value in the interface{}. TypeOf(nil) returns nil.
type Value struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Value is the reflection interface to a Go value.
Not all methods apply to all kinds of values. Restrictions, if any, are noted in the documentation for each method. Use the Kind method to find out the kind of value before calling kind-specific methods. Calling a method inappropriate to the kind of type causes a run time panic.
The zero Value represents no value. Its IsValid method returns false, its Kind method returns Invalid, its String method returns "<invalid Value>", and all other methods panic. Most functions and methods never return an invalid value. If one does, its documentation states the conditions explicitly.
A Value can be used concurrently by multiple goroutines provided that the underlying Go value can be used concurrently for the equivalent direct operations.
func Append(s Value, x ...Value) Value
Append appends the values x to a slice s and returns the resulting slice. As in Go, each x's value must be assignable to the slice's element type.
func AppendSlice(s, t Value) Value
AppendSlice appends a slice t to a slice s and returns the resulting slice. The slices s and t must have the same element type.
func Indirect(v Value) Value
Indirect returns the value that v points to. If v is a nil pointer, Indirect returns a zero Value. If v is not a pointer, Indirect returns v.
func MakeChan(typ Type, buffer int) Value
MakeChan creates a new channel with the specified type and buffer size.
func MakeFunc(typ Type, fn func(args []Value) (results []Value)) Value
MakeFunc returns a new function of the given Type that wraps the function fn. When called, that new function does the following:
- converts its arguments to a slice of Values. - runs results := fn(args). - returns the results as a slice of Values, one per formal result.
The implementation fn can assume that the argument Value slice has the number and type of arguments given by typ. If typ describes a variadic function, the final Value is itself a slice representing the variadic arguments, as in the body of a variadic function. The result Value slice returned by fn must have the number and type of results given by typ.
The Value.Call method allows the caller to invoke a typed function in terms of Values; in contrast, MakeFunc allows the caller to implement a typed function in terms of Values.
The Examples section of the documentation includes an illustration of how to use MakeFunc to build a swap function for different types.
▹ Example
func MakeMap(typ Type) Value
MakeMap creates a new map of the specified type.
func MakeSlice(typ Type, len, cap int) Value
MakeSlice creates a new zero-initialized slice value for the specified slice type, length, and capacity.

func (v Value) Bytes() []byte
Bytes returns v's underlying value. It panics if v's underlying value is not a slice of bytes.
func (v Value) Call(in []Value) []Value
Call calls the function v with the input arguments in. For example, if len(in) == 3, v.Call(in) represents the Go call v(in[0], in[1], in[2]). Call panics if v's Kind is not Func. It returns the output results as Values. As in Go, each input argument must be assignable to the type of the function's corresponding input parameter. If v is a variadic function, Call creates the variadic slice parameter itself, copying in the corresponding values.
func (v Value) CallSlice(in []Value) []Value
CallSlice calls the variadic function v with the input arguments in, assigning the slice in[len(in)-1] to v's final variadic argument. For example, if len(in) == 3, v.Call(in) represents the Go call v(in[0], in[1], in[2]...). Call panics if v's Kind is not Func or if v is not variadic. It returns the output results as Values. As in Go, each input argument must be assignable to the type of the function's corresponding input parameter.
func (v Value) CanAddr() bool
CanAddr returns true if the value's address can be obtained with Addr. Such values are called addressable. A value is addressable if it is an element of a slice, an element of an addressable array, a field of an addressable struct, or the result of dereferencing a pointer. If CanAddr returns false, calling Addr will panic.
func (v Value) CanInterface() bool
CanInterface returns true if Interface can be used without panicking.
func (v Value) CanSet() bool
CanSet returns true if the value of v can be changed. A Value can be changed only if it is addressable and was not obtained by the use of unexported struct fields. If CanSet returns false, calling Set or any type-specific setter (e.g., SetBool, SetInt64) will panic.
func (v Value) Cap() int
Cap returns v's capacity. It panics if v's Kind is not Array, Chan, or Slice.
func (v Value) Close()

func (v Value) Interface() (i interface{})
Interface returns v's current value as an interface{}. It is equivalent to:
var i interface{} = (v's underlying value)
It panics if the Value was obtained by accessing unexported struct fields.
func (v Value) InterfaceData() [2]uintptr
InterfaceData returns the interface v's value as a uintptr pair. It panics if v's Kind is not Interface.
func (v Value) IsNil() bool
IsNil reports whether its argument v is nil. The argument must be a chan, func, interface, map, pointer, or slice value; if it is not, IsNil panics. Note that IsNil is not always equivalent to a regular comparison with nil in Go. For example, if v was created by calling ValueOf with an uninitialized interface variable i, i==nil will be true but v.IsNil will panic as v will be the zero Value.
func (v Value) IsValid() bool
IsValid returns true if v represents a value. It returns false if v is the zero Value. If IsValid returns false, all other methods except String panic. Most functions and methods never return an invalid value. If one does, its documentation states the conditions explicitly.
func (v Value) Kind() Kind
Kind returns v's Kind. If v is the zero Value (IsValid returns false), Kind returns Invalid.

func (v Value) MapIndex(key Value) Value
MapIndex returns the value associated with key in the map v. It panics if v's Kind is not Map. It returns the zero Value if key is not found in the map or if v represents a nil map. As in Go, the key's value must be assignable to the map's key type.
func (v Value) MapKeys() []Value
MapKeys returns a slice containing all the keys present in the map, in unspecified order. It panics if v's Kind is not Map. It returns an empty slice if v represents a nil map.
func (v Value) Method(i int) Value
Method returns a function value corresponding to v's i'th method. The arguments to a Call on the returned function should not include a receiver; the returned function will always use v as the receiver. Method panics if i is out of range or if v is a nil interface value.
func (v Value) MethodByName(name string) Value
MethodByName returns a function value corresponding to the method of v with the given name. The arguments to a Call on the returned function should not include a receiver; the returned function will always use v as the receiver. It returns the zero Value if no method was found.

func (v Value) OverflowUint(x uint64) bool
OverflowUint returns true if the uint64 x cannot be represented by v's type. It panics if v's Kind is not Uint, Uintptr, Uint8, Uint16, Uint32, or Uint64.
func (v Value) Pointer() uintptr
Pointer returns v's value as a uintptr. It returns uintptr instead of unsafe.Pointer so that code using reflect cannot obtain unsafe.Pointers without importing the unsafe package explicitly. It panics if v's Kind is not Chan, Func, Map, Ptr, Slice, or UnsafePointer.
If v's Kind is Func, the returned pointer is an underlying code pointer, but not necessarily enough to identify a single function uniquely. The only guarantee is that the result is zero if and only if v is a nil func Value.
If v's Kind is Slice, the returned pointer is to the first element of the slice. If the slice is nil the returned value is 0. If the slice is empty but non-nil the return value is non-zero.
func (v Value) Recv() (x Value, ok bool)
Recv receives and returns a value from the channel v. It panics if v's Kind is not Chan. The receive blocks until a value is ready. The boolean value ok is true if the value x corresponds to a send on the channel, false if it is a zero value received because the channel is closed.
func (v Value) Send(x Value)
Send sends x on the channel v. It panics if v's kind is not Chan or if x's type is not the same type as v's element type. As in Go, x's value must be assignable to the channel's element type.
func (v Value) Set(x Value)
Set assigns x to the value v. It panics if CanSet returns false. As in Go, x's value must be assignable to v's type.

func (v Value) SetMapIndex(key, val Value)
SetMapIndex sets the value associated with key in the map v to val. It panics if v's Kind is not Map. If val is the zero Value, SetMapIndex deletes the key from the map. Otherwise if v holds a nil map, SetMapIndex will panic. As in Go, key's value must be assignable to the map's key type, and val's value must be assignable to the map's value type.
func (v Value) SetPointer(x unsafe.Pointer)

func (v Value) Slice(i, j int) Value
Slice returns v[i:j]. It panics if v's Kind is not Array, Slice or String, or if v is an unaddressable array, or if the indexes are out of bounds.
func (v Value) Slice3(i, j, k int) Value
Slice3 is the 3-index form of the slice operation: it returns v[i:j:k]. It panics if v's Kind is not Array or Slice, or if v is an unaddressable array, or if the indexes are out of bounds.
func (v Value) String() string
String returns the string v's underlying value, as a string. String is a special case because of Go's String method convention. Unlike the other getters, it does not panic if v's Kind is not String. Instead, it returns a string of the form "<T value>" where T is v's type.
func (v Value) TryRecv() (x Value, ok bool)
TryRecv attempts to receive a value from the channel v but will not block. It panics if v's Kind is not Chan. If the receive delivers a value, x is the transferred value and ok is true. If the receive cannot finish without blocking, x is the zero Value and ok is false. If the channel is closed, x is the zero value for the channel's element type and ok is false.
func (v Value) TrySend(x Value) bool
TrySend attempts to send x on the channel v but will not block. It panics if v's Kind is not Chan. It returns true if the value was sent, false otherwise. As in Go, x's value must be assignable to the channel's element type.
