英文:
runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference in public pointer
问题
我是一个Node.js开发者,通常在我的应用程序中使用一种结构,其中包含一个配置包/对象,其中包含对我经常使用的库和配置选项的引用。通常,这个配置对象也包含我的数据库连接,并且可以通过我的应用程序访问。
我尝试在Go中构建类似的结构,但失败了。
我的计划是构建一个公共变量,它持有对我的配置结构的引用。但是,当我尝试调用Config.Database时,我得到了以下错误:
2017/02/19 14:05:44 http: panic serving 127.0.0.1:53554: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
    goroutine 50 [running]:
    net/http.(*conn).serve.func1(0xc42027c000)
        /usr/local/go/src/net/http/server.go:1491 +0x12a
    panic(0x9f45c0, 0xc42000c100)
        /usr/local/go/src/runtime/panic.go:458 +0x243
    main.SignUp(0xc4202780e0)
        /home/attila/dev/gopath/src/github.com/attilasatan/helloiris/handlers.go:31 +0x258
    ...
这是我的配置文件。你可以看到我在这里使用了tideland/golib/redis来进行Redis连接。
configure.go
package main
import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
	"time"
	"github.com/tideland/golib/redis"
)
/*Configuration是应用程序配置的主要类型*/
type Configuration struct {
	Database *redis.Connection
}
/*Config是应用程序配置的持有者*/
var Config *Configuration
/*Configure处理数据库连接*/
func Configure() (*Configuration, error) {
	db, err := redis.Open(redis.TcpConnection("127.0.0.1:6379", 30*time.Second))
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Database connection error")
		return nil, err
	}
	conn, err := db.Connection()
	n, _ := conn.DoInt("INCR", "IDIDID")
	fmt.Printf(strconv.Itoa(n))
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Database connection error")
		return nil, err
	}
	/*Config是主要的配置对象*/
	Config := &Configuration{conn}
	return Config, err
}
这是我使用Config.Database的地方。
handlers.go
func SignUp(ctx *iris.Context) {
	mail := ctx.FormValue("email")
	password := ctx.FormValue("password")
	passwordConfirm := ctx.FormValue("password-confirm")
	if password != passwordConfirm {
		ctx.RenderWithStatus(iris.StatusBadRequest, "400.html", ErrorPageData{"passwords dont match"})
	} else {
		user := User{mail, password, 0}
		db := Config.Database
		userID, err := db.DoInt("INCR", "HELLOIRIS:ID")
		if err != nil {
			ctx.RenderWithStatus(iris.StatusBadRequest, "400.html", ErrorPageData{"passwords dont match"})
		} else {
			user.ID = userID
			fmt.Printf("SAVED")
			ctx.Render("signup-success.html", nil)
		}
		ctx.JSON(200, user)
	}
}
在这次失败之后,我将Configure函数更改如下:
configure.go
func Configure() (Config *Configuration, err error) {
	if Config != nil {
		return
	}
}
并且我在处理程序中更改了使用方式。
handlers.go
config, err := Configure()
if err != nil {
	ctx.RenderWithStatus(iris.StatusBadRequest, "400.html", ErrorPageData{"try again later"})
	return
}
user := User{mail, password, 0}
db := config.Database
... 然后一切都开始完美地工作了。
我的问题是我根本不明白为什么...为什么我在使用公共指针时会出现恐慌,而在从函数返回相同指针时却没有出现恐慌?

I'm a nodejs developer and I generally use a structure for my apps which holds a configuration package/object that holds references to my often used libs and configuration options. Generally this configuration object holds my database connections as well and it's reachable trough my application.
I tried to build similar to this in go and failed horribly. 
My plan was to build a public variable which holds a reference for my config struct. But when I try to call my `Config.Database` I get this panic:

Here is my configure file. As you can see I'm using `tideland/golib/redis` for redis connection.
**configure.go**
	package main
	import (
		"fmt"
		"strconv"
		"time"
		"github.com/tideland/golib/redis"
	)
	/*Configuration is the main type of app configuration */
	type Configuration struct {
		Database *redis.Connection
	}
	/*Config is app configuration holder */
	var Config *Configuration
	/*Configure handles database connection */
	func Configure() (*Configuration, error) {
		db, err := redis.Open(redis.TcpConnection("127.0.0.1:6379", 30*time.Second))
		if err != nil {
			fmt.Printf("Database connection error")
			return nil, err
		}
		conn, err := db.Connection()
		n, _ := conn.DoInt("INCR", "IDIDID")
		fmt.Printf(strconv.Itoa(n))
		if err != nil {
			fmt.Printf("Database connection error")
			return nil, err
		}
		/*Config is the main configuration object*/
		Config := &Configuration{conn}
		return Config, err
	}
And here is where I use `Config.Database`. 
**handlers.go**
	func SignUp(ctx *iris.Context) {
		mail := ctx.FormValue("email")
		password := ctx.FormValue("password")
		passwordConfirm := ctx.FormValue("password-confirm")
		if password != passwordConfirm {
			ctx.RenderWithStatus(iris.StatusBadRequest, "400.html", ErrorPageData{"passwords dont match"})
		} else {
			user := User{mail, password, 0}
			db := Config.Database
			userID, err := db.DoInt("INCR", "HELLOIRIS:ID")
			if err != nil {
				ctx.RenderWithStatus(iris.StatusBadRequest, "400.html", ErrorPageData{"passwords dont match"})
			} else {
				user.ID = userID
				
				fmt.Printf("SAVED")
				ctx.Render("signup-success.html", nil)
			}
			ctx.JSON(200, user)
		}
	}
After this fail I changed `Configure` function like this:
**configure.go**
    func Configure() (Config *Configuration, err error) {
    	if Config != nil {
		return
    	}
    }
and I changed the usage at handler  
**handlers.go**
    config, err := Configure()
	if err != nil {
		ctx.RenderWithStatus(iris.StatusBadRequest, "400.html", ErrorPageData{"try again later"})
		return
	}
	user := User{mail, password, 0}
	db := config.Database
... and everything start to work perfectly.
My problem is I simply don't understand why... Why did I get this panic when I use a public pointer and why didn't I get when I returned the same pointer from a function?

这行代码创建了一个新的本地变量`Config`,所以全局的`Config`变量没有被赋值。去掉冒号,就可以不创建新的变量,而是使用全局的`Config`变量。
<details>
<summary>英文:</summary>
    Config := &Configuration{conn}
This line creates a new __local__ variable `Config` so the global `Config` is never set to anything. Drop the `:` to not create a new variable and use the global `Config` instead.

你遇到这个问题是因为你的`Config`全局变量没有设置或者仍然保持为nil值。正如错误所说:
> 运行时错误:无效的内存地址或nil指针解引用
请确保在你的`main`函数中调用`func Configure()`之前调用了处理程序。
并且根据[tkausl][1]的回答,在你的**configure.go**文件中,将`conn` redis分配给全局变量时删除`:`,使其变为以下形式:
    Config = &Configuration{conn}

You're getting this problem because your `Config` global variable is not set or still hold nil value. as the error said : 
> runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
Make sure you called 
`func Configure()` before the handler called in your `main` function
and as [tkausl][1] answer remove the `:` when you assign the `conn` redis  to global variable to be like this in your **configure.go** file: 
    Config = &Configuration{conn}
