organize the go struct, in order to save memory.

[snikaein]

i think this is good idea to write some plugin to organize the go struct for memory efficiency automatically ? i don't see any tools to do that .
take look at this https://github.com/Tkanos/optimizing-memory-by-ordering-struct-by-type
@fatih thanks

The memory layout of a struct's fields is undefined. AFAIK, the compiler currently preserves the order, but this should not be relied on.

Discussion about having the Go compiler do it: golang/go#10014

It seems to me that this is a "niche issue". Sure, in some situations you care enough about the memory layout to do this, but those situations are few and far in-between; most of the time you couldn't care less.

Hi everyone 👋

I don't think this is something we should tackle. as @Carpetsmoker said this is definitely under the "niche" region. Thanks for the feedback.
