将Go接口{}直接比较为内置类型：为什么这样做？

Question

Why does the following Go code work?

That is, since the types of f and b are interface{} (and not any of bool , int or string ), how is it possible for me to get away with not casting or type-asserting f and b in each of the three if statements?

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "reflect"
)

func foop(p map[string]interface{}) {
    p["foo"] = true
}

func barp(p map[string]interface{}) {
    p["bar"] = 17
}

func foop2(p map[string]interface{}) {
    p["foo"] = "blah"
}

func main() {
    p := make(map[string]interface{})
    fmt.Printf("%v\n", p)

    foop(p)
    barp(p)
    f := p["foo"]
    b := p["bar"]
    fmt.Printf("f: %T\n", f)
    if f == true {
        fmt.Println("ok")
    }
    fmt.Printf("b: %T\n", b)
    if b == 17 {
        fmt.Println("ok")
    }

    foop2(p)
    f = p["foo"]
    if f == "blah" {
        fmt.Println("ok")
    }
    fmt.Printf("f: %T\n", f)
    fmt.Printf("f: %s\n", reflect.TypeOf(f))
}

Answer 1

As with most Go language questions, the answer is in the Go Programming Language Specification , specifically the section on Comparison Operators .

A value x of non-interface type X and a value t of interface type T are comparable when values of type X are comparable and X implements T. They are equal if t's dynamic type is identical to X and t's dynamic value is equal to x.
