如何在Go中获取指向地图中的值的指针

Question

I would like to get a pointer to a map value (which contains structs), so that I can modify a field in the struct, without having to re-assign it.

type Foo struct {
    Bar int64
}

func SomeFunction(arg * Foo) {
    ...
}

What I currently have to do:

if val, ok := myMap[idx]; ok {
  // val is of type `Foo`
  SomeFunction(&val)
  myMap[idx] = val
}

What I'd like to do:

if val, ok := getPointer(myMap, idx); ok {
  // val is of type `* Foo`
  SomeFunction(val)
}

Is there a way to do this Go, or do I need to rely on the compiler being smart enough to perform copy elision here?

For this operation you may use map if pointers. Like:

var myMap = map[int]*Foo

if _, val := range myMap {
  // val is of type `* Foo`
  SomeFunction(val)
}
