Convert the usage of
runtime.Type_Info
from being a union of the variants in-place to based on subtypes in order to minimize memory usage and initialization.This is a BREAKING CHANGE for any code base that uses runtime type information.
How to fix your code:
case runtime.Type_Info_*
->case ^runtime.Type_Info_*
x.(runtime.Type_Info_*)
->x.(^runtime.Type_Info_*)
info_for_struct.flags
->info_for_struct.struct_flags
