reflect.Value.Set using unaddressable value?

[liamzebedee]

Developing an RPC client, not sure why but line 164 is returning a panic - "reflect.Value.Set using unaddressable value". I am able to print the value, so it's addressable (clarify what is meant by this?).

Thanks

Have you read http://golang.org/doc/articles/laws_of_reflection.html ?

Thanks for that, no I haven't.

The fix for it was I was instantiating a pointer type and trying to set it, instead of setting .Elem()
