I passed a reference of a slice to a function and I am making changes in the slice inside the function. Also I am trying to access an element from the slice using index. It is throwing exception in golang. What is the best way to access an element from a slice by index which is passed by reference? You can find a sample code here. [ref : http://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/283vpk/help_with_slices_and_passbyreference/ ]. Since my code is huge I added a sample.
package main
import "fmt"
type mystruct struct {
val int
}
func main() {
var s1 []mystruct
var s2 []mystruct
onlyPassing(&s1)
s2 = returningToo(s2)
fmt.Printf("%#v
%#v", s1, s2)
}
func onlyPassing(s *[]mystruct) {
*s = append(*s, mystruct{1})
m := *s[0]
}
func returningToo(s []mystruct) []mystruct {
s = append(s, mystruct{1})
return s
}
And you can find the implementation here. Could anyone help me on this.
