I'm using package zdelta-go to perform delta compression in a Go project. It uses cgo to call the C code in the source library zdelta-c. This is my code to test the package:
import (
"github.com/snej/zdelta-go"
"log"
)
func main() {
v1 := []byte("This is versions one")
v2 := []byte("This is versions two")
delta, err := zdelta.CreateDelta(v1, v2)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
log.Print(len(delta))
}
The error output:
panic: runtime error: cgo argument has Go pointer to Go pointer
goroutine 1 [running]:

This error is caused by the change in Go1.6 specification that Go pointer can not be passed to C function as C pointer.
This is the code block that cause the error:
func zd_deflateInit(strm C.zd_streamp, level C.int) C.int {
vers := C.CString(C.ZDLIB_VERSION)
rval := C.zd_deflateInit_(strm, level, vers, C.int(unsafe.Sizeof(*strm))) --> ERROR
C.free(unsafe.Pointer(vers))
return rval
}
I'm new in Go and not familiar with C, can someone help me.
