reflect: ChanOf makes "han" types instead of "chan" types #16722
Description
- What version of Go are you using (
go version)?
go1.7.linux-amd64 - What operating system and processor architecture are you using (
go env)?
GOARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="linux" - What did you do?
https://play.golang.org/p/7XOdJWnLVM - What did you expect to see? go1.6.1 says this: [ notice second line says "chan" ]
< string >
< chan string >
< chan int > - What did you see instead? go7.1 says this: [ notice second line says "han" ]
< string >
< han string >
< chan int >
If you change my test so that it says
ch := make(chan string, 3)
instead of
ch := make(chan int, 3)
it fixes the error; apparently reflect.ChanOf() only makes a flawed Type object
if a correct one is not already compiled into the program.
