go2go playground:

package main

import "fmt"

type SomeConstraint[T] interface{
	Foo() T
}

func Bar[T SomeConstraint](val T) { // [T SomeConstraint[int]] works well
	fmt.Println(val.Foo())
}

type impl struct{}
func (impl) Foo() int { return 1337 }

func main() {
	Bar(impl{})
}

Got the error: impl does not satisfy SomeConstraint(T) (missing method Foo).
How to solve it? Or, if problem is in the function declaration, we need a better error message.

When you write just SomeConstraint as the constraint in Bar, it means SomeConstraint[T]. That means that any type argument A must have a method Foo() A. Your type impl does not have such a method. It has Foo() int, but it needs to have Foo() impl.
