How can a slice contain itself?

Question

I\'m trying to learn Golang using \"The Go Programming Language\" and I\'ve reached the section on slices. They make the comparison between arrays and slices in that two arr

Answer 1

a slice contains a pointer to the memory holding the elements, a length for available elements count, and a capability for how big the memory. so it like:

typedef struct { void *data; GoInt len; GoInt cap; } GoSlice;

I think it is indirect, because the elements are referenced by pointer. and of course we can have the slice itself in void *data.
