You have a large struct in your Go program that you need to pass to a function for processing. Which method of passing the struct would be more efficient: passing by value or passing by pointer?

Passing by pointer would be more efficient because it avoids copying the entire struct's data, which can be costly for large structs. When you pass a struct by value, a copy of the entire struct is made, which can consume significant memory and time, especially for large structs. Passing by pointer allows passing a reference to the struct, avoiding this overhead.
