How to you properly create a slice in Golang using the reflect package?

I have a function that takes a struct type and attempts to pass in a reflect.Type and later get the address of a slice created with the reflect package but I can't seem to get the right type for the final object.

The hardcoded version looks like this:

val := new(StructA)
valSlice := make([]*StructA, desiredSize)
foo(&valSlice)

and the reflect version I have looks like this:

inputType := reflect.TypeOf(&StructA{}) // This is a requirement
structType := inputType.Elem() 
val := reflect.New(structType).Interface()

sliceType := reflect.SliceOf(inputType)
structSlice := reflect.MakeSlice(sliceType, desiredSize, desiredSize)
valSlice := structSlice.Interface()

This appears to work until I attempted to take the address of the two values:

foo(&val)

The hardcoded gives me this &[<nil> <nil> <nil> <nil> <nil>] with type *[]*main.StructA and the generated gives me this 0xc00010a190 with type *interface {}.

Here is a repro of the issue with print statements littering for inspection: https://play.golang.org/p/ItKWS-PndTE

Thanks in advance!
