How do I debug pointers in Go?

How do I debug pointers in Go?

Debugging pointers in Go can be tricky. You can use the built-in fmt package to print pointer values and their dereferenced values.

Can you show me an example of how to print a pointer?

Sure! You can use fmt.Println(&myVar) to print the address of the variable and fmt.Println(*myVar) to print its value.

What if the pointer is nil?

If the pointer is nil, dereferencing it will cause a runtime panic. Always check if the pointer is nil before dereferencing.

Are there any tools in Go to help with debugging?

Yes, you can use the Go debugger (delve) to step through your code and inspect pointer values interactively.
