Empty struct comparison behavior is inconsistent, when fmt.Printf("%p, %p\n", &a, &b) exist &a == &b is true, otherwise the result is false. I think the printf statement shoult not affect the comparison result.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	var a, b struct{}
	fmt.Printf("%p, %p\n", &a, &b)
	fmt.Println(&a == &b)
	// Output:
	// 0x585448, 0x585448
	// true

	var x, y struct{}
	fmt.Println(&x == &y)
	// Output:
	// false
}
