Method encodeInterface

pkg/state/encode.go:595–613

encodeInterface encodes an interface.

(obj reflect.Value, dest *wire.Object)

// encodeInterface encodes an interface.
func (es *encodeState) encodeInterface(obj reflect.Value, dest *wire.Object) {
	// Dereference the object.
	obj = obj.Elem()
	if !obj.IsValid() {
		// Special case: the nil object.
		*dest = &wire.Interface{
			Type:  wire.TypeSpecNil{},
			Value: wire.Nil{},
		}
		return
	}

	// Encode underlying object.
	i := &wire.Interface{
		Type: es.findType(obj.Type()),
	}
	*dest = i
	es.encodeObject(obj, encodeAsValue, &i.Value)
}

// isPrimitive returns true if this is a primitive object, or a composite
// object composed entirely of primitives.
