此语法是指向切片的指针还是切片的指针？

Question

After looking at this blog post, I am still unclear about whether the following syntax means a slice of pointers or a pointer to a slice.

foo  []*int

Which one is it, and what is the general rule of thumb for this case?

Answer 1

This is a slice of pointers, just read from left to right: ([]) a slice of (*) pointers to (int) integer. On the other hand, *[]int would be (*) a pointer to ([]) a slice of (int) integers.
