How does that explain why it is a good idea?
Perhaps my concern is not clear enough.
For example:
n := 5
funcThatShouldSetNtoFive(&n)
if n != 5 {
panic("n is not 5)
}
This is not a good test.
I can check if the value has changed by:
n := 0
funcThatShouldSetNtoFive(&n)
if n != 5 {
panic("n is not 5)
}
That's a bit more sensible.
Wouldn't it be less risky for a test to fail by default? Removal of the
call to funcThatShouldSetNtoFive, IMO, should result in failure.
