Hi Ian, thanks for the help... quick question about alignment because i may be doing something wrong but it shows me that it doesn't matter for the slice type, everything is alignment the same way. Can you comment on this?
On 32 bit it'll always return 4 and for 64 bit - 8... even for char or boolean slices https://play.golang.org/p/wLbt41sISft Another question, i create []byte slice, then i create []int slice, in the middle of []byte by changing arr := [10]byte{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} size := len(arr) p := uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(&arr)) var data []int sh := (*reflect.SliceHeader)(unsafe.Pointer(&data)) sh.Data = p + some_alignment_offset_ sh.Len = size sh.Cap = size Now data points at memory used by arr, when arr will become unreachable... will underlying memory be collected by GC? Should i call some function to inform GC to not collect the memory? Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
