Passing pointers to Maps in Golang

Question

I am having a little trouble creating pointers to maps in Go. Can you please let me know if I am passing the map parameter correctly? It pairs integer values with structs.

    type symbol_table struct{
                   ---
                   ---
                   ---
    }
    //is the map parameter being called correctly?
func TD(..., symbolMAP *map[int]symbol_table, ...){

                   ---
                   ---
                   ---
    }
    func main(){
               symbolMAP:=make(map[int] symbol_table)
               TD(&symbolMAP)
       }

Answer 1

As already noted in the comments, there is no need to pass pointer to a map.

A map is already a reference type. Changes in the map will be observed from other variables.
