Question

So I can have

struct {
    int
    x []int
}

However,

struct {
    int
    []int
}

will result in a syntax error: unexpected [, expecting }. Is there a way of having unnamed arrays in structs in Go? If so, what’s the correct syntax?

Answer 1

No, the type of an anonymous field must be a type name or a pointer to a type name. You could declare a new type name that is the same as an array type, and then it would work, but it wouldn’t be exactly the same.
