No, I mean why not define string and slice as type string struct { underlyingString *struct { data *byte len int } } type slice struct { underlyingSlice *struct { underlyingElements unsafe.Pointer len int cap int } } instead of the current: type string struct { data *byte len int } type slice struct { underlyingElements unsafe.Pointer len int cap int } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
