What is happening under the hood (allocation, pointers) such that getting the address of a dereferenced array doesn't give back the same address?
package main
import (
"fmt"
)
func main() {
in := [...]int{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
orig := *&in
if &in != &orig {
fmt.Printf("&in = %p, &orig = %p\n", &in, &orig)
}
a := 1
b := *&a
if &a != &b {
fmt.Printf("&a = %p, &b = %p\n", &a, &b)
}
}
Live example here.
I'm new to Go and I find this surprising; I would have expected the same address. What I suspect is happening is a new array (copy) is being allocated and assigned to orig and b.
