<p>
The built-in function <code>new</code> takes a type <code>T</code>,
allocates storage for a <a href="#Variables">variable</a> of that type
at run time, and returns a value of type <code>*T</code>
<a href="#Pointer_types">pointing</a> to it.
The variable is initialized as described in the section on
<a href="#The_zero_value">initial values</a>.

For instance

aligned reports whether dst, x, and y are all word-aligned pointers. func aligned(dst, x, y *byte) bool { return (uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(dst))|uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(x))|uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(y)))&(wordSize-1) == 0 } // words returns a []uintptr pointing at the same data as x, // with any trailing partial word removed. func words(x []byte) []uintptr { n := uintptr(len(x)) / wordSize if n == 0 { // Avoid creating a *uintptr that refers to data smaller than a uintptr; // see issue 59334. return nil...
