x/pkgsite: show exported fields promoted from unexported anonymous fields #6600
Description
Within my code, I have the following structure.
type common struct {
Option1 bool
}
func (c *common) Method1() {
}
type A struct {
OptionA int
common
}
type B struct {
OptionB int
common
}
I want godoc to show that type A and type B have field Option1 available, and Method1 in
their method sets.
However, godoc would not show Option1, because common is not exported. It however show
Method1 (the full method set).
The only current workaround is to export common (which really is an internal
implementation detail), or duplicate the functionality across all types that share it.
TO fix, godoc should show these promoted fields got from unexported anonymous fields.
For example, godoc output for A could look like:
type A struct {
OptionA int
// contains filtered or unexported fields
// Available from unexported anonymous fields
Option1 bool
}
Which version are you using? (run 'go version')
