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

$ go version

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

yes

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

$ go env

What did you do?

func Test_struct(t *testing.T) {
	type S1 struct {
		age   uint8
		Class uint8
	}
	s1 := &S1{
		age:   255,
		Class: 1,
	}

	buf := new(bytes.Buffer)
	err := binary.Write(buf, binary.BigEndian, s1)
	assert.Nil(t, err)
	fmt.Printf("%#X\n", buf)

	s2 := new(S1)
	err = binary.Read(buf, binary.BigEndian, s2)
	assert.Nil(t, err)
	fmt.Printf("%#v\n", s2)
}

What did you expect to see?

Read should work as Write OR Write panic as Read
