EOF when decoding with gob

[Jacob Arthur]

I have been trying to figure out how to do some local persistence using gob encoding to a file.

Whenever I use normal types everything seems fine. If I try to use a struct whenever I try to decode the file it throws an EOF error and the decoding fails.

I'm guessing I just don't understand how to register my type with the gob package, I tried giving it an 'empty' value but still failed.

[I removed all other error checking to demo where I am getting the error]

Thanks,
Jacob

gob depends on reflect, which in turn depends on publication of fields.
Your type's fields are not public. This fixes the problem:
