What did you do?

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"unsafe"

	"golang.org/x/sys/windows"
)

type ACCEL struct {
	Virt byte
	Key  uint16
	Cmd  uint16
}

func CreateAcceleratorTableW(accel []ACCEL) (uintptr, error) {
	r, _, err := windows.NewLazySystemDLL("user32.dll").
		NewProc("CreateAcceleratorTableW").
		Call(uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(&accel[0])), uintptr(len(accel)))
	if r == 0 {
		return 0, err
	}
	return r, nil
}

func someAccels() []ACCEL {
	return []ACCEL{{83, 13, 100}}
}

func main() {
	var accels []ACCEL
	accels = append(accels, someAccels()...)
	h, err := CreateAcceleratorTableW(accels)
	fmt.Println(h, err)
}

What did you expect to see?

handle_value <nil>

What did you see instead?

0 Invalid access to memory location.

But the weird thing is if I change the main function to the following, everything will be OK:

func main() {
	var accels = make([]ACCEL, 0, 1)
	accels = append(accels, someAccels()...)
	h, err := CreateAcceleratorTableW(accels)
	fmt.Println(h, err)
}
