*(*uintptr)(unsafe.Pointer(&a)) == *(*uintptr)(unsafe.Pointer(&b)) for maps *(*reflect.SliceHeader)(unsafe.Pointer(&a) == *(*reflect.SliceHeader)(unsafe.Pointer(&b) for slices. Neither are wildly useful for most cases (we use the map case for some fast path comparisons of maps). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
