Unmarshaling omits embedded pointer to an aliased primitive #372
Description
Related to #362
When unmarshaling a struct with an embedded pointer to an aliased primitive, the resulting struct omits the the pointer field leaving it nil.
The original struct is correctly serialized. For example, in the test below, the AliasedPrimitive field has a value of 7.
func TestIssue372(t *testing.T) {
type AliasedPrimitive int
type Combiner struct {
SomeField int
*AliasedPrimitive
}
aliasedPrimitive := AliasedPrimitive(7)
originalCombiner := Combiner{AliasedPrimitive: &aliasedPrimitive}
b, err := json.Marshal(originalCombiner)
assertErr(t, err)
newCombiner := Combiner{}
err = json.Unmarshal(b, &newCombiner)
assertErr(t, err)
assertEq(t, "TestEmbeddedPrimitiveAlias", *originalCombiner.AliasedPrimitive, *newCombiner.AliasedPrimitive)
}
panics due to newCombiner.AliasedPrimitive being nil.
