Go workflow status badge codecov Go Report Card GoDoc

Package pointer contains helper routines for simplifying the creation of optional fields of basic type.

A little copying is better than a little dependency

With the advent of generics in go 1.18, using this library in your code is likely to be unwarranted, I recommend that you make a small local copy of this library, for example:

Put the code below in the file: internal/pointer/pointer.go and use it at your own pleasure.

package pointer

// Of is a helper routine that allocates a new any value
// to store v and returns a pointer to it.
func Of[Value any](v Value) *Value {
    return &v
}

Installation

go get github.com/xorcare/pointer

Generics

Starting with Go 18+, you can use the Of method to get pointers to values of any types.

Examples

Examples of using the library are presented on godoc.org and in the source library code.

func Uint8 

func Uint8(v uint8) *uint8

Uint8 is a helper routine that allocates a new uint8 value to store v and returns a pointer to it.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/xorcare/pointer"
)

func main() {
	s := struct{ Pointer *uint8 }{}
	fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("Zero pointer value: %T %v", s.Pointer, s.Pointer))

	s.Pointer = pointer.Uint8(63)
	fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("The value set by the library: %T %v", s.Pointer, *s.Pointer))

	s.Pointer = &[]uint8{127}[0]
	fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("The value set in elegant way: %T %v", s.Pointer, *s.Pointer))

}

Output:

Zero pointer value: *uint8 <nil>
The value set by the library: *uint8 63
The value set in elegant way: *uint8 127

func Uintptr 

func Uintptr(v uintptr) *uintptr

Uintptr is a helper routine that allocates a new uintptr value to store v and returns a pointer to it.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/xorcare/pointer"
)

func main() {
	s := struct{ Pointer *uintptr }{}
	fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("Zero pointer value: %T %v", s.Pointer, s.Pointer))

	s.Pointer = pointer.Uintptr(4611686018427387903)
	fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("The value set by the library: %T %v", s.Pointer, *s.Pointer))

	s.Pointer = &[]uintptr{9223372036854775807}[0]
	fmt.Println(fmt.Sprintf("The value set in elegant way: %T %v", s.Pointer, *s.Pointer))

}

Output:

Zero pointer value: *uintptr <nil>
The value set by the library: *uintptr 4611686018427387903
The value set in elegant way: *uintptr 9223372036854775807
