Please answer these questions before submitting your issue. Thanks!

What version of Go are you using (go version)?

version 1.9

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

yes

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

windows/amd64

What did you do?

package main

import (
	"encoding/json"
	"fmt"
)

type A struct {
	X int     `json:",string"`
	Y uintptr `json:",string"`
	Z B
}

type B map[uintptr]string

func main() {
	s := new(A)
	s.Z = make(B)
	s.Z[0] = ""
	r, _ := json.Marshal(s)
	fmt.Println(string(r))
}

What did you expect to see?

{"X":"0","Y":"0","Z":{"0":""}}

What did you see instead?

{"X":"0","Y":0,"Z":{"0":""}}

Issue

As required by the json.Marshal documentation, the Y field of uintptr type, marked with the json tag "string" option, should be marshalled as JSON string, not JSON number.

Please note that the X field, of integer int type, and the map's key of the Z field, of integer uintptr type, are both marshalled as JSON string, as expected by the documentation, that states:

  • The "string" option signals that a field is stored as JSON inside a JSON-encoded string. It applies only to fields of string, floating point, integer, or boolean types.

  • The map's key type must either be a string, an integer type, or implement encoding.TextMarshaler.

Proposal

At line 1138 of of encoding/json/encode.go, please add reflect.Uintptr to the list of types that can be encoded to JSON string by the "string" option.
