<h4>Full slice expressions</h4>

<p>

passing a pointer to a field in a struct, the Go memory in question is
the memory occupied by the field, not the entire struct. When passing a
pointer to an element in an array or slice, the Go memory in question is
the entire array or the entire backing array of the slice.

C code may keep a copy of a Go pointer only as long as the memory it
points to is pinned.

C code may not keep a copy of a Go pointer after the call returns,

//
// For some arguments, such as a string literal or a simple array expression, the
// result can be a constant. See the Go language specification's "Length and
// capacity" section for details.
func len(v Type) int

// The cap built-in function returns the capacity of v, according to its type:
//
//	Array: the number of elements in v (same as len(v)).
//	Pointer to array: the number of elements in *v (same as len(v)).

The [Func] type, which represents a function or method symbol, now
has a [Func.Signature] method that returns the function's type, which

		}
		if err != nil {
			t.Errorf(testname+" (fill 3): err should always be nil, found err == %s", err)
		}
		s += fus
		check(t, testname+" (fill 4)", buf, s)
	}
	return s
}

// Fill buf through n writes of byte slice fub.

should be used instead.

<p>
Converting a slice to an array yields an array containing the elements of the underlying array of the slice.
Similarly, converting a slice to an array pointer yields a pointer to the underlying array of the slice.

The [SliceAt(typ Type, p unsafe.Pointer, len int)] function
returns a Value representing a slice whose underlying array starts

As of Go 1.23 (`winsymlink=1`), mount points no longer have [`os.ModeSymlink`](/pkg/os#ModeSymlink)
set, and reparse points that are not symlinks, Unix sockets, or dedup files now
always have [`os.ModeIrregular`](/pkg/os#ModeIrregular) set. As a result of these changes,
[`filepath.EvalSymlinks`](/pkg/path/filepath#EvalSymlinks) no longer evaluates
mount points, which was a source of many inconsistencies and bugs.
