Besides that using dot imports isn’t really idiomatic Go, in this case it actually breaks when using Go 1.11 as it introduces a new
Pointer
type to thesyscall
package: https://golang.org/cl/106275And since the
unsafe
package also contains aPointer
type, this now gives an error:-: Pointer redeclared in this block
Not using dot imports for these packages solves that problem. (fixes #2)
