Run the following program on the following input:

package main

import (
    "encoding/gob"
    "os"
)

func main() {
    f, _ := os.Open(os.Args[1])
    d := gob.NewDecoder(f)
    d.Decode(nil)
}

It crashes with:

For reference, the test data above is equivalent to the following hex string "1dffd30201010e726563757273697665536c69636501ffd40001ffd4000007ffd40002010000".

The exact same panic can be obtained by trying to decode the recursive map or slice in TestRecursive{Map,Slice}Type in encoder_test.go to a nil pointer (i.e. replace &r2 with nil).

One suggestion for handling the panic is to stop recursion when wireId == elemId in (*Decoder).decIgnoreOpFor.

Support for recursive types was added in c54b5d0.

Sent https://golang.org/cl/8938, mostly as a better explanation of my previous comment. I'm not claiming this is the best way to solve the underlying problem, so feel free to discard it.

Hello. When will be the release with this fix?

Or is there a way to get a Debian package of current Golang snapshot?

@xaionaro Please don't ask questions on closed issues. Very few people see them. See https://golang.org/wiki/Questions . Thanks.

The fix for this issue is in the Go 1.5 release.

Go 1.6. February. We don't make Debian packages.
