Go中的递归链表类型别名

Question

I am trying to translate some C code to Go and I'm wondering if there is a Go equivalent to the following linked list types:

typedef struct TOKENLIST {
  token item;
  struct TOKENLIST *next;
} token_list_elt, *token_list;

So far it appears that I would have to create both types separately like this:

type token_list struct {
    item token
    next *token_list
}
type token_list_elt struct {
    item token
    next *token_list_elt
}

This is not such a big deal for this example, but there are lots linked list types like these I need to translate and some of them have many aliases and/or struct fields.

Answer 1

But why not use it like this:

type linkedList struct {
    item token
    next *linkedList
}

...

tokenList := linkedList{}
tokenListElt := linkedList{}

Are different struct types so important?
