Re: [go-nuts] Re: Is it possible to export a variable from main package? If impossible, why?

Not sure if this has been answered. Yes, you can make a global value public in the main package, but it is more or less meaningless as there is no way for another package to import your main package. It is possible there is some way that it might happen in the testing infrastructure, but that

Re: [go-nuts] Go language should become an ANSI and ISO standard.

If Go is to be standardized, it needs to be as late as possible in the development of Go 1. My observations of being involved with some standards is that the participants view it as an opportunity to change or add to whatever is being standardized. Unless the standard was simply a true

Re: [go-nuts] Help with bytes/writing to aws

It is not possible to tell from your code if that is the correct data or not. You code did not display the data it was sending (that might be illuminating). Are you sure that when you are reading the file you are displaying what was actually there? Also, why are you specifying:

Re: [go-nuts] Are Go floats smarter?

For financial programs you may want to consider fixed point decimal values rather than floats. In simple terms, rather than using floating point units of currency, you use integers for the smallest acceptable quantity. This might be, for example, using an int to say how many pennies are

Re: [go-nuts] Re: Unexpected behavior of %+02d in Sprintf() and friends

Is it possible you used the format string “+%02d” vs “%+02d”? The first will give you the +00 you expected while the second is +0, as discussed. On Aug 29, 2018, at 6:53 AM, Eric Raymond mailto:e...@thyrsus.com>> wrote: On Tuesday, August 28, 2018 at 4:49:02 PM UTC-4, peterGo wrote: "Width is

Re: [go-nuts] Does fmt.Print* automatically render an error string in as struct (play link)

In your code, anything that implements thing also implements the error interface, which looks just like your thing interface. Printf knows to use the Error method if it is defined. See https://play.golang.org/p/JucIqt9H2FF. You will notice that with your code you can say: var e error = t

Re: [go-nuts] Unexpected behavior of %+02d in Sprintf() and friends

I believe +0 is correct. That is 2 bytes which is what you requested with %+02d and the + takes up the first byte and 0 fits in the second byte. On Aug 28, 2018, at 10:55 AM, Eric Raymond mailto:e...@thyrsus.com>> wrote: Under Go 1.10.1, feeding an 0 value to a %+02d specifier sometimes

Re: [go-nuts] Re: Regarding string immutablity

You are only overwriting the pointer to the string (a string is essentially a pointer and a length). If you want to use memory and then zero it out, use a byte slice instead and be careful to not call append where append might allocate new memory. Take a look at

[go-nuts] Re: Who wants to use Go to process your camera's raw files?

I don't know what the true story actually is, however some camera hardware makers such as Nikon are giving software developers a tough time by intentionally obfuscating their metadata. A lot of folks had big problems with that including adobe. I just mentioned "reverse engineering" to indicate
