I have a simple struct type which I am encoding. However, I am doing something fundamentally wrong while decoding the data. Every time I try to decode it, I get EOF panic error.
//Encoding a map to a gob. Save the gob to disk. Read the gob from disk. Decode the gob into another map. package main
import (
"fmt"
"encoding/gob"
"bytes"
"io/ioutil"
)
type hashinfo struct {
fname string
hash string
}
func main() {
thing := []hashinfo{
{"rahul","test"},
{"boya","test2"},
}
m := new(bytes.Buffer)
enc := gob.NewEncoder(m)
enc.Encode(thing)
err := ioutil.WriteFile("gob_data", m.Bytes(), 0600)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Printf("just saved gob with %v
", thing)
n,err := ioutil.ReadFile("gob_data")
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("cannot read file")
panic(err)
}
p := bytes.NewBuffer(n)
dec := gob.NewDecoder(p)
e := []hashinfo{}
err = dec.Decode(&e)
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("cannot decode")
panic(err)
}
fmt.Printf("just read gob from file and it's showing: %v
", e)
}
I have created e := []hashinfo{} object in order to decode gobject. Am I doing something wrong there ?
