Is it acceptable to make the optional parameter as varargs?
I wrote code in my package like ...
package backoff
func New(options ...Options) *backOff {
backOff := defaultBackOff()
if len(options) == 0 {
return backOff
}
// override default values
if len(options) > 1 {
panic("only 1 backOffOption allowed")
}
optn := options[0]
backOff.options = &optn
if optn.Delay_ms > 0 {
backOff.delay_ms = optn.Delay_ms
}
return backOff
}
So that in other package, it can be used as *backoff.New()* when option is
not needed(*which will be the case most of the time*).
Is using varargs for optional parameter is ok? Or am I abusing the Variadic
Functions feature?
