Thanks for that. I discovered that comparing pointers to ZSTs is pretty popular in Go: - x/sync/singleflight: https://cs.opensource.google/go/x/sync/+/refs/tags/v0.14.0:singleflight/singleflight_test.go;l=78 - Delve: https://github.com/go-delve/delve/blob/v1.24.2/service/debugger/debugger.go#L387 - Grafana: https://github.com/grafana/grafana/blob/v12.0.1/pkg/services/serviceaccounts/extsvcaccounts/service.go#L353 - Skaffold: https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/skaffold/blob/v2.16.0/pkg/skaffold/hooks/render.go#L93 - Coder: https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/v2.22.1/cli/ssh.go#L578 - quic-go: https://github.com/quic-go/quic-go/blob/v0.52.0/connection_test.go#L1008 - SigStore Cosign: https://github.com/sigstore/cosign/blob/v2.5.0/cmd/cosign/cli/attest/attest_blob_test.go#L60 Seems like a classic example of Hyrum's Law, we now have a lot of code that depends on runtime.zerobase. I’ve written a linter along with an accompanying blog post about the subject: fillmore-labs.com/zerolint: https://github.com/fillmore-labs/zerolint “The Perils of Pointers in the Land of the Zero-Sized Type”: https://blog.fillmore-labs.com/posts/zerosized-1/ I would be interested whether I got the “default” level right. Or maybe everything wrong. Thanks for the insight, again Oliver -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
