函数是否可以更改在其他地方声明的字符串数组的大小？ golang

Question

I would like to remove an element from the slice in place. But when I do this I end up producing two empty elements in the underlying array. I already searched here, here

package main

import "fmt"

//String remove adjacent duplicates from a string array
func rmDup(str []string) []string {
    for i := 1; i < len(str); i++ {
        if str[i] == str[i-1] {
            copy(str[i:], str[i+1:])
            str[len(str)-1] = ""
            str = str[:len(str)-1]
        }
    }
    return str
}

func main() {

    str := []string{"dog", "cat", "cat", "mouse", "mouse", "zebra", "zebra"}

    fmt.Println(str)
    newstr := rmDup(str)
    fmt.Println(str)
    fmt.Println(newstr)
    fmt.Println(len(str), cap(str), "final")
    fmt.Println(len(newstr), cap(newstr), "final")
}

Is there any way that str in main can return the size and capacity defined in rmDup()

Answer 1

It turned out that I was able to find the answer myself. Since the Go language performs function calls by value it is impossible to change a slice declared in another scope, except using pointers.

package main

import "fmt"

//String remove adjacent duplicates from a string array
func rmDup(str *[]string) []string {
 var s = *str
 for i := 1; i < len(s); i++ {
    if s[i] == s[i-1] {
        copy(s[i:], s[i+1:])
        s[len(s)-1] = ""
        s = s[:len(s)-1]
    }
}
*str = s
return s
}

func main() {

  str := []string{"dog", "cat", "cat", "mouse", "mouse", "zebra", 
  "zebra"}

  fmt.Println(str)
  newstr := rmDup(&str)
  fmt.Println(str)
  fmt.Println(newstr)
  fmt.Println(len(str), cap(str), "final")
  fmt.Println(len(newstr), cap(newstr), "final")
}

Output:

[dog cat cat mouse mouse zebra zebra]
[dog cat mouse zebra]
[dog cat mouse zebra]
4 7 final
4 7 final
