Deep copy struct of pointers

[Bernhard Konrad]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to get a deep copy of a struct which includes pointers. Following the example here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/golang-nuts/__BPVgK8LN0/NqXMW7nDmvwJ

type Location struct {

city string

}

type Pet struct {

name     string

location *Location

}

func main() {

locationPointer := &Location{

city: "MTV",

}

var huski *Pet = new(Pet)

huski.name = "huski"

huski.location = locationPointer

dog := *huski // copies location by (pointer) value

dog.name = "dog"

dog.location.city = "SF"

fmt.Println(huski.name)          // "huski"

fmt.Println(huski.location.city) // "SF" <-- would like "MTV"

}

Is the only alternative to define my own, recursive, copy function?

Thank you

Bernhard
