Golang one liner to create a pointer to a new (non zero) value

newPointer.go

package newPointer

import "reflect"

// Just do not forget to cast it back
// Example :
//     var a := getNewPointerForValue(int32(12)).(*int32)
// Uses reflection.
// Slower, but who cares. Postgres and network are the real bottleneck.
func GetNewPointerForValue(value interface{}) interface{} {
	p := reflect.New(reflect.TypeOf(value))
	p.Elem().Set(reflect.ValueOf(value))
	return p.Interface()
}

Do not use if performance is a real requirement.
If not (as often), it may be good for readability to use this one liner.
