The program is really racy, but the result is also really some
counter-intuitive.
The following program also print 10, which means evaluation of pointer
dereference
is some different to evaluation of other expressions in flow.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
)
func main() {
var num = 10
var p = &num
c := make(chan int)
go func() {
c <- func()int{return *p}() // with this line we will get 11 from
channel c
//c <- num // with this line we will get 10 from channel c
}()
time.Sleep(time.Second)
num++
fmt.Println(<-c)
fmt.Println(p)
}
