Sizeof tip for Go types

Just a small tip to check yourself when organizing structs.

import . "unsafe"

Fixed sizes

Type Sizeof() bytes
struct{} 0
[0]Type 0
bool 1
int8, uint8, byte 1
int16, uint16 2
int32, uint32, rune 4
float32 4
int, uint 4 or 8
int64, uint64 8
float64 8
complex64 8
uintptr 8
*struct{}, *Type 8
map[Type1]Type2 8
chan Type 8
func() 8
string 16
complex128 16
[]Type 24

Array

Formula: Sizeof([N]Type) = N * Sizeof(Type)

Examples:

Type Sizeof() bytes
[5]bool 5
[2][]bool{} 48

Struct

Struct size depends on how struct is packed.

Formula:
Sizeof(struct{T1; ... TN}) = StructPackSize * PacksNum,
where StructPackSize = min(max(Sizeof(T1), ... Sizeof(TN)), Sizeof(uintptr))
and PacksNum depends on how struct fields are packed due to their order.

Examples:

Type StructPackSize PacksNum Sizeof() bytes
struct{a struct{}} 0 1 0
struct{a struct{}; b bool} 1 1 1
struct{b bool; u int32} 4 2 8
struct{a bool; b bool; u int32} 4 2 8
struct{u int32; a bool; b bool} 4 2 8
struct{a bool; u int32; b bool} 4 3 12
struct{a bool; s string; b bool} 8 4 32
