Class Method

A method, that is, a function with a receiver variable, or a function declared in an interface.

Note that method identity is determined by receiver type identity: if two methods have the same name and their receiver types are identical in the sense of the Go language specification (https://golang.org/ref/spec#Type_identity), then the two methods are identical as well.

Predicates

getPackage	Gets the package in which this entity is declared, if any.
getReceiver	Gets the receiver variable of this method.
getReceiverBaseType	Gets the receiver base type of this method, that is, either the base type of the receiver type if it is a pointer type, or the receiver type itself if it is not a pointer type.
getReceiverType	Gets the type of the receiver variable of this method.
hasQualifiedName	Holds if this method has name `m` and belongs to the method set of a type `T` or `*T` where `T` has qualified name `tp`.
hasQualifiedName	Holds if this method has name `m` and belongs to the method set of a type `T` or `*T` where `T` is declared in package `pkg` and has name `tp`.
implements	Holds if this method implements the method `m`, that is, if `m` is a method on an interface, and this is a method with the same name on a type that implements that interface.
implements	Holds if this method implements the method that has qualified name `pkg.tp.name`, that is, if `pkg.tp.name` is a method on an interface, and this is a method with the same name on a type that implements that interface.
implementsIncludingInterfaceMethods	Holds if this method implements the method `m`, that is, if `m` is a method on an interface, and this is a method with the same name on a type that implements that interface.
isInterfaceMethod	Holds if this method is declared in an interface.
