通过下面几个问题来更好理解golang 的数组和切片

  1. 类型

    数组是值类型,将一个数组赋值给另一个数组时,传递的是一份拷贝。
    切片是引用类型,切片包装的数组称为该切片的底层数组。
    我们来看一段代码

    //a是一个数组,注意数组是一个固定长度的,初始化时候必须要指定长度,不指定长度的话就是切片了
    a := [3]int{1, 2, 3}
    //b是数组,是a的一份拷贝
    b := a
    //c是切片,是引用类型,底层数组是a
    c := a[:]
    for i := 0; i < len(a); i++ {
      a[i] = a[i] + 1
    }
    //改变a的值后,b是a的拷贝,b不变,c是引用,c的值改变
    fmt.Println(a) //[2,3,4]
    fmt.Println(b) //[1 2 3]
    fmt.Println(c) //[2,3,4]
    
  2. make
    make 只能用于slice, map 和 channel, 所以下面一段代码生成了一个slice,是引用类型

    s1 := make([]int, 0, 3)
    
    for i := 0; i < cap(s1); i++ {
        s1 = append(s1, i)
    }
    s2 := s1
    for i := 0; i < len(a); i++ {
        s1[i] = s1[i] + 1
    }
    
    fmt.Println(s1)  //[1 2 3]
    fmt.Println(s2)  //[1 2 3]
    
  3. 当对slice append 超出底层数组的界限时

    //n1是n2的底层数组
    n1 := [3]int{1, 2, 3}
    n2 := n1[0:3]
    fmt.Println("address of items in n1: ")
    for i := 0; i < len(n1); i++ {
        fmt.Printf("%p\n", &n1[i])
    }
    //address of items in n1:
    //0xc20801e160
    //0xc20801e168
    //0xc20801e170
    fmt.Println("address of items in n2: ")
    for i := 0; i < len(n2); i++ {
        fmt.Printf("%p\n", &n2[i])
    }
    //address of items in n2:
    //0xc20801e160
    //0xc20801e168
    //0xc20801e170
    
    //对n2执行append操作后,n2超出了底层数组n1的j
    n2 = append(n2, 1)
    fmt.Println("address of items in n1: ")
    for i := 0; i < len(n1); i++ {
        fmt.Printf("%p\n", &n1[i])
    }
    //address of items in n1:
    //0xc20801e160
    //0xc20801e168
    //0xc20801e170
    
    fmt.Println("address of items in n2: ")
    for i := 0; i < len(n2); i++ {
        fmt.Printf("%p\n", &n2[i])
    }
    //address of items in n2:
    //0xc20803a2d0
    //0xc20803a2d8
    //0xc20803a2e0
    //0xc20803a2e8
    
  4. 引用“失效”
    实现了删除slice最后一个item的函数

    func rmLast(a []int) {
        fmt.Printf("[rmlast] the address of a is %p", a)
        a = a[:len(a)-1]
        fmt.Printf("[rmlast] after remove, the address of a is %p", a)
    }
    

    调用此函数后,发现原来的slice并没有改变

    func main() {
        xyz := []int{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
        fmt.Printf("[main] the address of xyz is %p\n", xyz)
        rmLast(xyz)
        fmt.Printf("[main] after remove, the address of xyz is %p\n", xyz)
        fmt.Printf("%v", xyz) //[1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]
    }
    

    打印出来的结果如下:

    [main] the address of xyz is 0xc2080365f0
    [rmlast] the address of a is 0xc2080365f0
    [rmlast] after remove, the address of a is 0xc2080365f0
    [main] after remove, the address of xyz is 0xc2080365f0
    [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]
    

    这里直接打印了slice的指针值,因为slice是引用类型,所以指针值都是相同的,我们换成打印slice的地址看下

    func rmLast(a []int) {
        fmt.Printf("[rmlast] the address of a is %p", &a)
        a = a[:len(a)-1]
        fmt.Printf("[rmlast] after remove, the address of a is %p", &a)
    }
    func main() {
        xyz := []int{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
        fmt.Printf("[main] the address of xyz is %p\n", &xyz)
        rmLast(xyz)
        fmt.Printf("[main] after remove, the address of xyz is %p\n", &xyz)
        fmt.Printf("%v", xyz) //[1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]
    }
    

    结果:

    [main] the address of xyz is 0xc20801e1e0
    [rmlast] the address of a is 0xc20801e200
    [rmlast] after remove, the address of a is 0xc20801e200
    [main] after remove, the address of xyz is 0xc20801e1e0
    [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]
    

    这次可以看到slice作为函数参数传入函数时,实际上也是拷贝了一份slice,因为slice本身是个指针,所以从现象来看,slice是引用类型
