Method IsPrimitivePointer

expr/attribute.go:477–492

IsPrimitivePointer returns true if the field generated for the given attribute should be a pointer to a primitive type. The receiver attribute must be an object. If useDefault is true and the attribute has a default value then IsPrimitivePointer returns false. This makes it possible to differentiat
