# Passing pointers

Go is a garbage collected language, and the garbage collector needs to
know the location of every pointer to Go memory. Because of this,
there are restrictions on passing pointers between Go and C.

// A sparse file can be represented as either a sparseDatas or a sparseHoles.
// As long as the total size is known, they are equivalent and one can be

become eligible for garbage collection immediately, even if their
`Stop` methods have not been called.
Earlier versions of Go did not collect unstopped `Timer`s until after
they had fired and never collected unstopped `Ticker`s.

Second, the timer channel associated with a `Timer` or `Ticker` is
now unbuffered, with capacity 0.
The main effect of this change is that Go now guarantees
