In this code, there is a classic closure bug in the loop when working with goroutines and pointers.
The variable i in the loop changes, and pointers to the same variable i are added to the nums slice. As a result, all elements of nums point to the same memory location, which after the loop ends contains the value 9.
When goroutines are launched, they all print the same value — the address pointed to by v will be the same for all elements.
To fix this, you need to create a new variable inside the loop so that each pointer points to a separate value:
func main() {
var nums []*int
for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
val := i
nums = append(nums, &val)
}
for _, v := range nums {
go func(v *int) {
fmt.Println(*v)
}(v)
}
}
Here, we create val inside the loop and pass v as a parameter to an anonymous function, which guarantees correct capturing of the value.
