cannot parenthesize type in composite literal

[Abhinav Srivastava]

Hi,

I have a struct in one package "chord" and trying to use it in another package "main".

func makeRing() *(chord.Ring) {

conf := &(chord.Config){

NumNodes:     5,

NumSuccessors: 8,

        HashBits : 160,

}

ring:=&(chord.Ring){}

ring.init(conf)

return ring

}

where Ring and Config are struct in chord package.

I get the error of "cannot parenthesize type in composite literal " while compiling "main" package.

I tried to find on net but could not get a concrete solution. 

Thanks

Abhinav

Did you try following the advice of the error message and removing the parenthesize around the type in the composite literal?

eg.

func makeRing() (*chord.Ring) {

conf := &chord.Config{

NumNodes:     5,

NumSuccessors: 8,

        HashBits : 160,

}

ring:=&chord.Ring{}

ring.init(conf)

return ring

}
