I measured how long it takes to access an element on array in three ways: array, slice, unsafe.Pointer
https://play.golang.org/p/Ofz3u8_AZe BenchmarkArray : 50000000 25.7 ns/op BenchmarkSlice : 20000000 59.1 ns/op BenchmarkPointer: 300000000 6.85 ns/op BenchmarkC : 2000000000 0.00 ns/op I know array and slice is relatively slow as they checks for an index to be out of bounds when accessing, but I am astounding that there is the huge difference between array and slice. Can you explain or give me some link about that? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
