<p>Hi <a href="/r/golang" rel="nofollow">/r/golang</a> </p>
<p>I'm working on a project where we are working with tuple and tuple spaces. In order to find not necessary an exact match, we have to do some matching with types.</p>
<p>Right now when searching for tuple we create a template. The template contains fields of reflect.Type. That in itself is no problem, the problem is the declaration of it, as it looks something like this</p>
<pre><code>var template = CreateTemplate(Reflect.TypeOf("string"), Reflect.TypeOf(2))
</code></pre>
<p>This code with create a template that will match with tuples where the first field is of type String and the second field is of type Int.</p>
<p>Using only primitive types we could change this to Reflect.Kind. However, it's not unthinkable that a tuple could contain a struct as a field. Lets say we want to find tuples where the first field is of type Specification (a struct). With that we want to be able to create a template like</p>
<pre><code>var template = CreateTemplate(Specification)
</code></pre>
<p>If we use reflect.TypeOf(Specification).Kind() = struct</p>
<p>Is there a solution to this problem? It's not very nice that the user has to define a template as they have to right now, writing a random value of the type wanted for that field.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
