Description : Package for comparing Go values in tests
This package is intended to be a more powerful and safer alternative to
reflect.DeepEqual for comparing whether two values are semantically equal.
.
The primary features of cmp are:
* When the default behavior of equality does not suit the needs of the
test,
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 that have 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 explictly
compared using the AllowUnexported option.
