I didn't consider using a []*T at the outset because I assumed that the Buffer type would still need to be exposed to the user as part of the old "type safe" API. Had that been the case, then creating a pubsub for pointers to a struct (e.g. PubSub[*S]) would mean the user would have to manipulate a buffer of pointers to pointers to structs (e.g. Buffer[**S]), which isn't great. Now that I know the Buffer type doesn't need to be exported, in the future (when generics are ready) I will likely change the internal layout of the buffer and cell to incorporate the empty marker, like in your example with the slot type. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
