they both have the same size, eg. following structs bar and bar2 both take 16 bytes memory on a x64 machine.
package main import ( "fmt" "unsafe" ) type bar struct { A int _ bool } type bar2 struct { A int _ [0]byte } func main() { bar := bar{} bar2 := bar2{} fmt.Printf("size of bar:%v\n", unsafe.Sizeof(bar)) fmt.Printf("size of bar2:%v\n", unsafe.Sizeof(bar2)) } On Thursday, July 6, 2017 at 11:45:30 AM UTC+8, kortschak wrote: > > On Wed, 2017-07-05 at 17:26 -0700, rsr via golang-nuts wrote: > > type bar struct { > > A int > > _ bool > > } > > > or `type bar struct { A int; _ [0]byte }` to avoid the additional byte > use. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
