pointer

pointer

A single helper, pointer.To(value any) any, that returns a pointer to its argument (and returns the value unchanged if it is already a pointer or interface). Part of rosetta.

What matters here

• To is reflection-based and untyped (any in, any out). It exists for cases where the type isn't known at compile time (e.g. building values dynamically for the schema engine). When the type is known, prefer the generic convert.Pointer[T](v) *T, which is type-safe and avoids reflection — convert owns the generic pointer/dereference helpers (Pointer, Element), not this package.
• Already-pointer and interface inputs pass through unchanged, so To is idempotent — calling it on a *T returns the same *T, not a **T.
