The genericfeatures package provides utilities for detecting usage of generic programming in Go packages.

CoreType returns the core type of T or nil if T does not have a core type.

Deref returns the type of the variable pointed to by t, if t's core type is a pointer; otherwise it returns t.

InterfaceTermSet computes the normalized terms for a constraint interface, returning an error if the term set cannot be computed or is empty.

IsTypeParam reports whether t is a type parameter (or an alias of one).

MustDeref returns the type of the variable pointed to by t.

NormalTerms returns a slice of terms representing the normalized structural type restrictions of a type, if any.

PackIndexExpr returns an *ast.IndexExpr or *ast.IndexListExpr, depending on the cardinality of indices.

StructuralTerms returns a slice of terms representing the normalized structural type restrictions of a type parameter, if any.

UnionTermSet computes the normalized terms for a union, returning an error if the term set cannot be computed or is empty.

UnpackIndexExpr extracts data from AST nodes that represent index expressions.

Free is a memoization of the set of free type parameters within a type.
