encoding/gob: fails with nested interface values #1416
Description
reported by taru karttunen. this program fails.
i know the bug, the fix will take some thinking. putting it here to track.
package main
import "gob"
import "bytes"
type F struct {
Contents
}
type Contents interface {}
type T struct {}
func main() {
var buf bytes.Buffer
e := gob.NewEncoder(&buf)
d := gob.NewDecoder(&buf)
gob.Register(new(F))
gob.Register(new(T))
f := &F{&T{}}
var v interface{} = f
err := e.Encode(&v)
if err!=nil { panic("Encode: "+err.String()) }
err = d.Decode(&v)
if err!=nil { panic("Decode: "+err.String()) }
}
