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

$ go version
go version go1.15 linux/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

It doesn't reproduce with Go 1.13. It does reproduce with Go 1.14, 1.15, and +721819e7ba. Going to rebuild a more fresh Go, try the tip, and update the issue in a moment.

Update: also reproduces with:

$ go version
go version devel +5cc030aa19 Sun Sep 6 20:23:50 2020 +0000 linux/amd64

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

What did you do?

https://play.golang.org/p/rHDhklq4E7D

func f() [2]int {
	return [...]int{2: 0}
}

What did you expect to see?

In Go 1.13:

# command-line-arguments
go/tmp.go:4:17: cannot use [3]int literal (type [3]int) as type [2]int in return argument

What did you see instead?

# command-line-arguments
go/tmp.go:4:17: cannot use [<node DDD>]int literal (type [3]int) as type [2]int in return argument

I saw that on @davecheney's Twitter and tried looking up “node DDD” in existing issues. There didn't seem to be one, so I filed this one.

I think this change is intentional, see this CL for mode details.

I’m pretty sure @mdempsky did not intend for to show up in user-facing error messages.

Oops. Yeah, that error message is wrong.

It should say either [3]int literal or [...]int literal.

Edit: As Josh suggests, <node FOO> should never appear in user-facing diagnostics. User diagnostics should always be in terms of Go language concepts, but "nodes" are an internal compiler detail.

That was quick! Now the message is:

# command-line-arguments
go/tmp.go:4:17: cannot use [...]int literal (type [3]int) as type [2]int in return argument

Thanks, everyone!
