What version of Go are you using (go version)?

go version go1.9 linux/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

yes

What did you do?

package main

type T *int

type S struct {
	T // error: embedded type cannot be a pointer
}

What did you expect to see?

The error message should be embedded type cannot be alias to a pointer for better.

sorry, this is a bad report.
T is not an alias. :)

[edit] maybe embedded type cannot be a named pointer is better.
