reflect.CanAddr() Function in Golang with Examples
Go language provides inbuilt support implementation of run-time reflection and allowing a program to manipulate objects with arbitrary types with the help of reflect package. The reflect.CanAddr() Function in Golang is used to check whether the value’s address can be obtained with Addr. To access this function, one needs to imports the reflect package in the program.
Syntax:
func (v Value) CanAddr() bool
Parameters: This function does not accept any parameters.
Return Value: This function returns the boolean value.
Below examples illustrate the use of the above method in Golang:
Example 1:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"reflect"
)
func main() {
typ := reflect.StructOf([]reflect.StructField{
{
Name: "Height" ,
Type: reflect.TypeOf(float64(0)),
Tag: `json: "height" `,
},
{
Name: "Age" ,
Type: reflect.TypeOf( int (0)),
Tag: `json: "age" `,
},
})
v := reflect.New(typ).Elem()
v.Field(0).SetFloat(0.4)
v.Field(1).SetInt(2)
s := v.CanAddr()
fmt.Printf( "value: %+v\n" , s)
}
|
Output:
value: true
Example 2:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"reflect"
)
type superint struct {
A int
B int
}
func (s *superint) lol() {}
type a interface{ lol() }
func main() {
i := superint{A: 1, B: 9}
valPtr := reflect.ValueOf(&i)
fmt.Printf( "%v \n" , i)
fmt.Printf( "%v \n" , valPtr.Elem().CanAddr())
}
|
Output:
{1 9}
true
