type person struct{}
var tom *person = &person{}
When I use
fmt.Printf("%+v
", tom)//prints:&{}
Why the result is & plus data?It is surposed to be an address(0x0055)
When I use
fmt.Printf("%+v
", &tom)//0x0038
fmt.Printf("%p
", &tom)//0x0038
It gives me an address,it gives me 0x0038,why %v and %p has the same result?
tom
is a pointer to a person
. When you use &tom
, you're a creating a second pointer, this a pointer to a pointer to a person.
In your first example, you're using %+v
to print the default value of tom
. The default value deferences the pointer and prints the struct itself.
In your second example, %+v
is applying to the "double" pointer. It still deferences the pointer, getting to the initial pointer. See this example: http://play.golang.org/p/IZThhkiQXM
package main
import "fmt"
func zeroval(ival int) {
ival = 0
}
func zeroptr(iptr *int) {
*iptr = 0
}
func main() {
i := 1
fmt.Println("initial:", i)
zeroval(i)
fmt.Println("zeroval:", i)
//The &i syntax gives the memory address of i, i.e. a pointer to i.
zeroptr(&i)
fmt.Println("zeroptr:", i)
//Pointers can be printed too.
fmt.Println("pointer:", &i)
}
Output:
$ go run pointers.go
initial: 1
zeroval: 1
zeroptr: 0
pointer: 0x42131100
