You can do all the pointer tagging you like as long as the final bits can not be interpreted as a pointer into the Go heap. But if you do pointer tagging you should almost certainly be declaring the value as uintptr in Go, rather than as a pointer type. You can't indirect a tagged pointer in Go anyhow, so don't give it a pointer type. Ian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
