In #1284, the recommended mechanism to use
SliceHeader
orStringHeader
on TinyGo is with build tags. Unfortunately this isn't an option if your code imports golang.org/x/tools, which usesSliceHeader
andStringHeader
extensively, assuming thatLen
andCap
fields are typeint
.This PR adds a single un-exported type to the TinyGo
reflect
package,intw
, which is a word-sized integer type. It is aliased toint
on most platforms, anduintptr
when compiled with theavr
build tag:Fixes #1284.
