Why do struct declarations sometimes contain blank fields?
go
Solution
The padding is exactly what it is called: Some padding to align the following field to your needs, e.g. to match the layout of a C struct. It cannot be accessed (at least not without package unsafe).
Problem
From the golang spec ``` // A struct with 6 fields. struct { x, y int u float32 _ float32 // padding A *[]int F func() } ``` - Are there any practical scenarios of using the blank `_` fields inside a `struct`? (some code snippets would be appreciated)
