Go中的地图是按值传递还是按引用传递？

Question

Are maps passed by value or reference in Go ?

It is always possible to define a function as following, but is this an overkill ?

func foo(dat *map[string]interface{}) {...}

Same question for return value. Should I return a pointer to the map, or return the map as value ?

The intention is of course to avoid unnecessary data copy.

In this thread you will find your answer :

Golang: Accessing a map using its reference

You don't need to use a pointer with a map.

Map types are reference types, like pointers or slices[1]

If you needed to change the Session you could use a pointer:

map[string]*Session
