AST: Understanding the differences between functions and methods

[Tajmeet Singh]

Hi,

I was working on a tool for internal use where I had to work with the go's abstract syntax tree specially with the FuncDecls. I wanted to filter the ast to only function declarations without methods. I was wondering if there is a way to distinguish between normal functions and structure methods. I'm sure there must be a way since the godoc distinguishes them but don't know if they had to implement it in a certain way.

Currently my code uses AST's inspect function and traverses the tree. Example, 

```Go

ast.Inspect(syntaxtTree,  func(n *ast.Node) bool {

    ...

    switch x := n.(type) {

    case *ast.FuncDecl:

        ...    

}

```

If anyone knows a way to distinguish these, please do let me know. Thanks!

I believe the Recv field does what you want?
