Cast a struct pointer to interface pointer in Golang

问题

我有一个函数:

func doStuff(inout *interface{}) {
   ...
}

这个函数的目的是能够将任意类型的指针作为输入处理。但是当我想用一个结构体的指针调用它时,出现了错误。

type MyStruct struct {
    f1 int
}

在调用 doStuff 时:

ms := MyStruct{1}
doStuff(&ms)

我得到了以下错误:

test.go:38: cannot use &ms (type *MyStruct) as type **interface {} in argument to doStuff

如何将 &ms 转换为与 *interface{} 兼容的类型?

英文:

I have a function

func doStuff(inout *interface{}) {
   ...
}

the purpose of this function is to be able to treat a pointer of any type as input.
But when I want to call it with a the pointer of a struct I have an error.

type MyStruct struct {
	f1 int
}

When calling doStuff

ms := MyStruct{1}
doStuff(&ms)

I have

test.go:38: cannot use &ms (type *MyStruct) as type **interface {} in argument to doStuff

How can I cast &ms to be compatible with *interface{}?

在Go语言中,没有所谓的“指向接口的指针”(从技术上讲,你可以使用它,但通常不需要)。

正如在“what is the meaning of interface{} in golang?”中所看到的,interface是一个包含两个数据字的容器:

  • 一个字用于指向值的底层类型的方法表,
  • 另一个字用于指向该值所持有的实际数据。

因此,移除指针,doStuff将正常工作:接口数据将是你的指针&ms

func doStuff(inout interface{}) {
   ...
}

参见这个示例

ms := MyStruct{1}
doStuff(&ms)
fmt.Printf("Hello, playground: %v\n", ms)

输出:

Hello, playground: {1}

正如newacct评论中提到的:

> 直接将指针传递给接口是可行的,因为如果MyStruct符合某个协议,那么*MyStruct也符合该协议(因为类型的方法集包含在其指针类型的方法集中)。
>
> 在这种情况下,接口是空接口,因此它无论如何都接受所有类型。

英文:

There is no such thing as a "pointer to an interface" (technically, you can use one, but generally you don't need it).

As seen in "what is the meaning of interface{} in golang?", interface is a container with two words of data:

  • one word is used to point to a method table for the value’s underlying type,
  • and the other word is used to point to the actual data being held by that value.

So remove the pointer, and doStuff will work just fine: the interface data will be &ms, your pointer:

func doStuff(inout interface{}) {
   ...
}

See this example:

ms := MyStruct{1}
doStuff(&ms)
fmt.Printf("Hello, playground: %v\n", ms)

Output:

Hello, playground: {1}

As newacct mentions in the comments:

> Passing the pointer to the interface directly works because if MyStruct conforms to a protocol, then *MyStruct also conforms to the protocol (since a type's method set is included in its pointer type's method set).
>
> In this case, the interface is the empty interface, so it accepts all types anyway, but still.
