Late initiation

[robfordww]

I keep wondering if this is safe:

type connection struct {
      p pgxpool.Pool  // note not a pointer
}

then later on, after passing a pointer to the connection struct around, but before any usage, initialize it with

c.p = *pgxpool.Connect(context.Background(), "....")
where c is the pointer to the connection struct above

this obviously leads to a temporary "copy" of the pool, which feels somewhat unsafe given its internal complexity. But as long as c.p has not been used, is it safe?

I don't know anything off the top of my head that would for sure be unsafe... but I wouldn't rely on it being safe either.
