What did you do?

100% reproducible. Travis link:

https://travis-ci.org/purpleidea/mgmt/jobs/270103895#L969

(errors are on the subsequent lines)

What did you expect to see?

No failures or a clear reason about what's wrong.

What did you see instead?

gotype fails where it didn't fail in golang 1.8
it would be great to report this as a false positive or to understand what changed between 1.8 and 1.9 that this is an issue.

Thanks!

@purpleidea, thanks for the report! Unfortunately the Go1.9 ship has sailed(it would have been nice to report this earlier) but perhaps this could be a candidate for Go1.9.1 if easily fixable within the cycle. Also it might help with easier diagnosis and fixing if you could extract a reproducible code snippet then paste it here.

/cc @griesemer.

The major thing that changed for 1.9 is that gotype now uses a source importer. Can you try to run gotype with the flag -c=gc and see if the problem goes away?

This example fails the check unless -c=gc is specified:

package main

import "github.com/veandco/go-sdl2/sdl"

func main() {
	sdl.PeepEvents(nil, sdl.GETEVENT, sdl.FIRSTEVENT, sdl.LASTEVENT)
}

with the message

main.go:6:22: cannot use sdl.GETEVENT (constant unknown with invalid type) as github.com/veandco/go-sdl2/sdl.EventAction value in argument to sdl.PeepEvents
main.go:6:36: cannot use sdl.FIRSTEVENT (constant unknown with invalid type) as uint32 value in argument to sdl.PeepEvents
main.go:6:52: cannot use sdl.LASTEVENT (constant unknown with invalid type) as uint32 value in argument to sdl.PeepEvents

The problem here is using go/types with cgo code. Is that supposed to work these days?

I can recreate the problem with

> go get -d github.com/veandco/go-sdl2/sdl
> go run ~/go/src/go/types/gotype.go -- foo.go

where foo.go is the file mentioned above. That prints

foo.go:6:22: cannot use sdl.GETEVENT (constant unknown with invalid type) as github.com/veandco/go-sdl2/sdl.EventAction value in argument to sdl.PeepEvents
foo.go:6:36: cannot use sdl.FIRSTEVENT (constant unknown with invalid type) as uint32 value in argument to sdl.PeepEvents
foo.go:6:52: cannot use sdl.LASTEVENT (constant unknown with invalid type) as uint32 value in argument to sdl.PeepEvents
exit status 2

The constants are all defined with cgo code like:

const (
	GETEVENT  = C.SDL_GETEVENT
)
