It seems to date back to when the Reader interface was first written, back when Go looked somewhat different than it does today: https://go.googlesource.com/go/+/7c9e2c2b6c2e0aa3090dbd5183809e1b2f53359b%5E%21/#F1 I don't know for sure but I'm going to guess that "p" is short for "pointer", since back then the argument was indeed a pointer. And we've just kept the name "p" ever since. Ian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
