What's the purpose of this PR?
strPtr
helper function, as it is not necessary and was missleading.Why?
strPtr
function was used to initialize a string and get its pointer in a single line. As this was only used for initializing empty strings and returning their pointer, it's equivalent tonew(string)
. For unit tests, it makes sense to reference the same values for the created json and the unmarshalled output.strPtr
function was missleading because it took a string by copy instead of reference, meaning that it would not return the pointer to the passed string, but to the copy.
