Sorry if this is a dumb question that's been answered before, but I can't find anything about it.
I'm calling Grow() on a bytes.Buffer and I thought that would increase Cap() and the size of the underlying []byte. But, it doesn't seem to: https://play.golang.org/p/3j8YCpB59s That example works if I call Grow() with a value more than Cap()*2, but anything less and Cap() remains unchanged. Some background, if it helps, I was attempting to re-use bytes.Buffer objects with sync.Pool. But the data I'm dealing with is a variable size, so if I get back a buffer that's too small I'm calling Grow() for the difference. Subsequently using Bytes()[:expectedSize], which sometimes panics. This is basically what was going on: https://play.golang.org/p/gBvcvs79T7 Am I just misusing bytes.Buffer? Is calling Grow() with a value less than Cap() unsupported? What am I missing?
