struct

I'm having a look at Go, which looks quite promising. I am trying to figure out how to get the size of a go struct, for example something like

type Coord3d struct { X, Y, Z int64 }

Of course I know that it's 24 bytes, but I'd like to know it programmatically..

Do you have any ideas how to do this ?
