Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

GOARCH="amd64"
GOBIN=""
GOCACHE="/home/myitcv/.cache/go-build"
GOEXE=""

What did you do?

https://play.golang.org/p/wedrTlVT2kD

What did you expect to see?

Ideally I would like to see:

A NumFields(): 2
B NumFields(): 2
C NumFields(): 2

What did you see instead?

A NumFields(): 2
B NumFields(): 2
C NumFields(): 1

This example deliberately does not type-check. So I realise the information returned by go/types is best-effort. But the problem with the *go/types.Struct returned for C is that it's partially complete, and I have no way of telling.

Would it be possible to return the correct number of fields in this situation and have the field that does not type check be of an invalid type?

The fix should be simple. At the moment, struct fields with errors are simply dropped on the floor.

Change https://golang.org/cl/115115 mentions this issue: go/types: add struct fields with invalid type if field has errors
