// Package cmp determines equality of values.
//
// This package is intended to be a more powerful and safer alternative to
// reflect.DeepEqual for comparing whether two values are semantically equal.
// It is intended to only be used in tests, as performance is not a goal and
// it may panic if it cannot compare the values. Its propensity towards
// panicking means that its unsuitable for production environments where a
// spurious panic may be fatal.
//
// The primary features of cmp are:
//
//   - When the default behavior of equality does not suit the test's needs,
//     custom equality functions can override the equality operation.
//     For example, an equality function may report floats as equal so long as
//     they are within some tolerance of each other.
//
//   - Types with an Equal method may use that method to determine equality.
//     This allows package authors to determine the equality operation
//     for the types that they define.
//
//   - If no custom equality functions are used and no Equal method is defined,
//     equality is determined by recursively comparing the primitive kinds on
//     both values, much like reflect.DeepEqual. Unlike reflect.DeepEqual,
//     unexported fields are not compared by default; they result in panics
//     unless suppressed by using an Ignore option (see cmpopts.IgnoreUnexported)
//     or explicitly compared using the Exporter option.

// TODO(≥go1.18): Use any instead of interface{}.

// Equal reports whether x and y are equal by recursively applying the
// following rules in the given order to x and y and all of their sub-values:
//
//   - Let S be the set of all Ignore, Transformer, and Comparer options that
//     remain after applying all path filters, value filters, and type filters.
//     If at least one Ignore exists in S, then the comparison is ignored.
//     If the number of Transformer and Comparer options in S is non-zero,
//     then Equal panics because it is ambiguous which option to use.
//     If S contains a single Transformer, then use that to transform
//     the current values and recursively call Equal on the output values.
//     If S contains a single Comparer, then use that to compare the current values.
//     Otherwise, evaluation proceeds to the next rule.
//
//   - If the values have an Equal method of the form "(T) Equal(T) bool" or
//     "(T) Equal(I) bool" where T is assignable to I, then use the result of
//     x.Equal(y) even if x or y is nil. Otherwise, no such method exists and
//     evaluation proceeds to the next rule.
//
//   - Lastly, try to compare x and y based on their basic kinds.
//     Simple kinds like booleans, integers, floats, complex numbers, strings,
//     and channels are compared using the equivalent of the == operator in Go.
//     Functions are only equal if they are both nil, otherwise they are unequal.
//
// Structs are equal if recursively calling Equal on all fields report equal.
// If a struct contains unexported fields, Equal panics unless an Ignore option
// (e.g., cmpopts.IgnoreUnexported) ignores that field or the Exporter option
// explicitly permits comparing the unexported field.
//
// Slices are equal if they are both nil or both non-nil, where recursively
// calling Equal on all non-ignored slice or array elements report equal.
// Empty non-nil slices and nil slices are not equal; to equate empty slices,
// consider using cmpopts.EquateEmpty.
//
// Maps are equal if they are both nil or both non-nil, where recursively
// calling Equal on all non-ignored map entries report equal.
// Map keys are equal according to the == operator.
// To use custom comparisons for map keys, consider using cmpopts.SortMaps.
// Empty non-nil maps and nil maps are not equal; to equate empty maps,
// consider using cmpopts.EquateEmpty.
//
// Pointers and interfaces are equal if they are both nil or both non-nil,
// where they have the same underlying concrete type and recursively
// calling Equal on the underlying values reports equal.
//
// Before recursing into a pointer, slice element, or map, the current path
// is checked to detect whether the address has already been visited.
// If there is a cycle, then the pointed at values are considered equal
// only if both addresses were previously visited in the same path step.
