> This means that a time.Time pointer has the same GCShape as an uint64, a bytes.Buffer and a strings.Builder. > In the current implementation of Generics in 1.18, every runtime invocation of a generic function will transparently receive as its first argument a static dictionary with metadata about the arguments being passed to the function. > That’s right, after the monomorphization step, the generated function shape needs to take as a runtime input the virtual method tables for all its generic arguments. What an odd design. I'm curious to read the justification for this. I assume it's faster compile times.
