Early or late argument evaluation in golang?

Early or late argument evaluation in golang?

问题

在我的程序中,我按照以下方式进行一系列的顺序检查:

var value int

if !(ParseOrFail(inputStrVal, &value) &&
     Validate(value)) {
    return SomeErr
}

我知道只有当ParseOrFail返回true时才会调用Validate,但我不确定在所有这样的情况下它是否会得到更新后的值。

这样做是正确的吗?还是我必须将一个指针传递给Validate

英文:

In my program I do a series of sequential checks in this manner:

var value int

if !(ParseOrFail(inputStrVal, &value) &&
     Validate(value)) {
    return SomeErr
}

I know that Validate is called only if ParseOrFail returns true, but I'm not sure whether in all such scenarios it will get the updated value.

Is it correct to do so? Or must I pass a pointer to Validate ?

你的代码行为在《Go编程语言规范》中有定义。

var value int

if !(ParseOrFail(inputStrVal, &value) && Validate(value)) {
    return SomeErr 
}

或者,用伪代码表示:

ParseOrFail的参数被评估
调用ParseOrFail
如果ParseOrFail == true
    Validate的参数被评估
    调用Validate

也就是说,在你的示例中(https://play.golang.org/p/l6XHbgQjFs),是延迟评估。

The behavior of your code is defined in The Go Programming Language Specification.

var value int

if !(ParseOrFail(inputStrVal, &value) && Validate(value)) {
    return SomeErr 
}

Or, in pseudocode,

ParseOrFail arguments are evaluated
ParseOrFail is called
if ParseOrFail == true
    Validate arguments are evaluated
    Validate is called

That is, in your example (https://play.golang.org/p/l6XHbgQjFs), late evaluation.
