<!--{
|
||||
"title": "About the go command"
|
||||
}-->
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Go distribution includes a command, named
|
||||
"<code><a href="/cmd/go/">go</a></code>", that
|
||||
automates the downloading, building, installation, and testing of Go packages
|
||||
and commands. This document talks about why we wrote a new command, what it
|
||||
is, what it's not, and how to use it.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Motivation</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You might have seen early Go talks in which Rob Pike jokes that the idea
|
||||
for Go arose while waiting for a large Google server to compile. That
|
||||
really was the motivation for Go: to build a language that worked well
|
||||
for building the large software that Google writes and runs. It was
|
||||
clear from the start that such a language must provide a way to
|
||||
express dependencies between code libraries clearly, hence the package
|
||||
grouping and the explicit import blocks. It was also clear from the
|
||||
start that you might want arbitrary syntax for describing the code
|
||||
being imported; this is why import paths are string literals.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>An explicit goal for Go from the beginning was to be able to build Go
|
||||
code using only the information found in the source itself, not
|
||||
needing to write a makefile or one of the many modern replacements for
|
||||
makefiles. If Go needed a configuration file to explain how to build
|
||||
your program, then Go would have failed.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>At first, there was no Go compiler, and the initial development
|
||||
focused on building one and then building libraries for it. For
|
||||
expedience, we postponed the automation of building Go code by using
|
||||
make and writing makefiles. When compiling a single package involved
|
||||
multiple invocations of the Go compiler, we even used a program to
|
||||
write the makefiles for us. You can find it if you dig through the
|
||||
repository history.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The purpose of the new go command is our return to this ideal, that Go
|
||||
programs should compile without configuration or additional effort on
|
||||
the part of the developer beyond writing the necessary import
|
||||
statements.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Configuration versus convention</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The way to achieve the simplicity of a configuration-free system is to
|
||||
establish conventions. The system works only to the extent that those conventions
|
||||
are followed. When we first launched Go, many people published packages that
|
||||
had to be installed in certain places, under certain names, using certain build
|
||||
tools, in order to be used. That's understandable: that's the way it works in
|
||||
most other languages. Over the last few years we consistently reminded people
|
||||
about the <code>goinstall</code> command
|
||||
(now replaced by <a href="/cmd/go/#hdr-Download_and_install_packages_and_dependencies"><code>go get</code></a>)
|
||||
and its conventions: first, that the import path is derived in a known way from
|
||||
the URL of the source code; second, that the place to store the sources in
|
||||
the local file system is derived in a known way from the import path; third,
|
||||
that each directory in a source tree corresponds to a single package; and
|
||||
fourth, that the package is built using only information in the source code.
|
||||
Today, the vast majority of packages follow these conventions.
|
||||
The Go ecosystem is simpler and more powerful as a result.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>We received many requests to allow a makefile in a package directory to
|
||||
provide just a little extra configuration beyond what's in the source code.
|
||||
But that would have introduced new rules. Because we did not accede to such
|
||||
requests, we were able to write the go command and eliminate our use of make
|
||||
or any other build system.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It is important to understand that the go command is not a general
|
||||
build tool. It cannot be configured and it does not attempt to build
|
||||
anything but Go packages. These are important simplifying
|
||||
assumptions: they simplify not only the implementation but also, more
|
||||
important, the use of the tool itself.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Go's conventions</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The <code>go</code> command requires that code adheres to a few key,
|
||||
well-established conventions.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>First, the import path is derived in a known way from the URL of the
|
||||
source code. For Bitbucket, GitHub, Google Code, and Launchpad, the
|
||||
root directory of the repository is identified by the repository's
|
||||
main URL, without the <code>http://</code> prefix. Subdirectories are named by
|
||||
adding to that path.
|
||||
For example, the Go example programs are obtained by running</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/golang/example
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>and thus the import path for the root directory of that repository is
|
||||
"<code>github.com/golang/example</code>".
|
||||
The <a href="https://godoc.org/github.com/golang/example/stringutil">stringutil</a>
|
||||
package is stored in a subdirectory, so its import path is
|
||||
"<code>github.com/golang/example/stringutil</code>".</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>These paths are on the long side, but in exchange we get an
|
||||
automatically managed name space for import paths and the ability for
|
||||
a tool like the go command to look at an unfamiliar import path and
|
||||
deduce where to obtain the source code.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Second, the place to store sources in the local file system is derived
|
||||
in a known way from the import path, specifically
|
||||
<code>$GOPATH/src/<import-path></code>.
|
||||
If unset, <code>$GOPATH</code> defaults to a subdirectory
|
||||
named <code>go</code> in the user's home directory.
|
||||
If <code>$GOPATH</code> is set to a list of paths, the go command tries
|
||||
<code><dir>/src/<import-path></code> for each of the directories in
|
||||
that list.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Each of those trees contains, by convention, a top-level directory named
|
||||
"<code>bin</code>", for holding compiled executables, and a top-level directory
|
||||
named "<code>pkg</code>", for holding compiled packages that can be imported,
|
||||
and the "<code>src</code>" directory, for holding package source files.
|
||||
Imposing this structure lets us keep each of these directory trees
|
||||
self-contained: the compiled form and the sources are always near each
|
||||
other.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>These naming conventions also let us work in the reverse direction,
|
||||
from a directory name to its import path. This mapping is important
|
||||
for many of the go command's subcommands, as we'll see below.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Third, each directory in a source tree corresponds to a single
|
||||
package. By restricting a directory to a single package, we don't have
|
||||
to create hybrid import paths that specify first the directory and
|
||||
then the package within that directory. Also, most file management
|
||||
tools and UIs work on directories as fundamental units. Tying the
|
||||
fundamental Go unit—the package—to file system structure means
|
||||
that file system tools become Go package tools. Copying, moving, or
|
||||
deleting a package corresponds to copying, moving, or deleting a
|
||||
directory.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Fourth, each package is built using only the information present in
|
||||
the source files. This makes it much more likely that the tool will
|
||||
be able to adapt to changing build environments and conditions. For
|
||||
example, if we allowed extra configuration such as compiler flags or
|
||||
command line recipes, then that configuration would need to be updated
|
||||
each time the build tools changed; it would also be inherently tied
|
||||
to the use of a specific toolchain.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Getting started with the go command</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Finally, a quick tour of how to use the go command.
|
||||
As mentioned above, the default <code>$GOPATH</code> on Unix is <code>$HOME/go</code>.
|
||||
We'll store our programs there.
|
||||
To use a different location, you can set <code>$GOPATH</code>;
|
||||
see <a href="/doc/code.html">How to Write Go Code</a> for details.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>We first add some source code. Suppose we want to use
|
||||
the indexing library from the codesearch project along with a left-leaning
|
||||
red-black tree. We can install both with the "<code>go get</code>"
|
||||
subcommand:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ go get github.com/google/codesearch/index
|
||||
$ go get github.com/petar/GoLLRB/llrb
|
||||
$
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Both of these projects are now downloaded and installed into <code>$HOME/go</code>,
|
||||
which contains the two directories
|
||||
<code>src/github.com/google/codesearch/index/</code> and
|
||||
<code>src/github.com/petar/GoLLRB/llrb/</code>, along with the compiled
|
||||
packages (in <code>pkg/</code>) for those libraries and their dependencies.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Because we used version control systems (Mercurial and Git) to check
|
||||
out the sources, the source tree also contains the other files in the
|
||||
corresponding repositories, such as related packages. The "<code>go list</code>"
|
||||
subcommand lists the import paths corresponding to its arguments, and
|
||||
the pattern "<code>./...</code>" means start in the current directory
|
||||
("<code>./</code>") and find all packages below that directory
|
||||
("<code>...</code>"):</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ cd $HOME/go/src
|
||||
$ go list ./...
|
||||
github.com/google/codesearch/cmd/cgrep
|
||||
github.com/google/codesearch/cmd/cindex
|
||||
github.com/google/codesearch/cmd/csearch
|
||||
github.com/google/codesearch/index
|
||||
github.com/google/codesearch/regexp
|
||||
github.com/google/codesearch/sparse
|
||||
github.com/petar/GoLLRB/example
|
||||
github.com/petar/GoLLRB/llrb
|
||||
$
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>We can also test those packages:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ go test ./...
|
||||
? github.com/google/codesearch/cmd/cgrep [no test files]
|
||||
? github.com/google/codesearch/cmd/cindex [no test files]
|
||||
? github.com/google/codesearch/cmd/csearch [no test files]
|
||||
ok github.com/google/codesearch/index 0.203s
|
||||
ok github.com/google/codesearch/regexp 0.017s
|
||||
? github.com/google/codesearch/sparse [no test files]
|
||||
? github.com/petar/GoLLRB/example [no test files]
|
||||
ok github.com/petar/GoLLRB/llrb 0.231s
|
||||
$
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If a go subcommand is invoked with no paths listed, it operates on the
|
||||
current directory:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ cd github.com/google/codesearch/regexp
|
||||
$ go list
|
||||
github.com/google/codesearch/regexp
|
||||
$ go test -v
|
||||
=== RUN TestNstateEnc
|
||||
--- PASS: TestNstateEnc (0.00s)
|
||||
=== RUN TestMatch
|
||||
--- PASS: TestMatch (0.00s)
|
||||
=== RUN TestGrep
|
||||
--- PASS: TestGrep (0.00s)
|
||||
PASS
|
||||
ok github.com/google/codesearch/regexp 0.018s
|
||||
$ go install
|
||||
$
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>That "<code>go install</code>" subcommand installs the latest copy of the
|
||||
package into the pkg directory. Because the go command can analyze the
|
||||
dependency graph, "<code>go install</code>" also installs any packages that
|
||||
this package imports but that are out of date, recursively.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Notice that "<code>go install</code>" was able to determine the name of the
|
||||
import path for the package in the current directory, because of the convention
|
||||
for directory naming. It would be a little more convenient if we could pick
|
||||
the name of the directory where we kept source code, and we probably wouldn't
|
||||
pick such a long name, but that ability would require additional configuration
|
||||
and complexity in the tool. Typing an extra directory name or two is a small
|
||||
price to pay for the increased simplicity and power.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Limitations</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As mentioned above, the go command is not a general-purpose build
|
||||
tool.
|
||||
In particular, it does not have any facility for generating Go
|
||||
source files <em>during</em> a build, although it does provide
|
||||
<a href="/cmd/go/#hdr-Generate_Go_files_by_processing_source"><code>go</code>
|
||||
<code>generate</code></a>,
|
||||
which can automate the creation of Go files <em>before</em> the build.
|
||||
For more advanced build setups, you may need to write a
|
||||
makefile (or a configuration file for the build tool of your choice)
|
||||
to run whatever tool creates the Go files and then check those generated source files
|
||||
into your repository. This is more work for you, the package author,
|
||||
but it is significantly less work for your users, who can use
|
||||
"<code>go get</code>" without needing to obtain and build
|
||||
any additional tools.</p>

<h2 id="Introduction">Introduction</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Data races are among the most common and hardest to debug types of bugs in concurrent systems.
|
||||
A data race occurs when two goroutines access the same variable concurrently and at least one of the accesses is a write.
|
||||
See the <a href="/ref/mem/">The Go Memory Model</a> for details.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Here is an example of a data race that can lead to crashes and memory corruption:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
func main() {
|
||||
c := make(chan bool)
|
||||
m := make(map[string]string)
|
||||
go func() {
|
||||
m["1"] = "a" // First conflicting access.
|
||||
c <- true
|
||||
}()
|
||||
m["2"] = "b" // Second conflicting access.
|
||||
<-c
|
||||
for k, v := range m {
|
||||
fmt.Println(k, v)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="Usage">Usage</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To help diagnose such bugs, Go includes a built-in data race detector.
|
||||
To use it, add the <code>-race</code> flag to the go command:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ go test -race mypkg // to test the package
|
||||
$ go run -race mysrc.go // to run the source file
|
||||
$ go build -race mycmd // to build the command
|
||||
$ go install -race mypkg // to install the package
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="Report_Format">Report Format</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
When the race detector finds a data race in the program, it prints a report.
|
||||
The report contains stack traces for conflicting accesses, as well as stacks where the involved goroutines were created.
|
||||
Here is an example:
|
||||

The <code>GORACE</code> environment variable sets race detector options.
|
||||
The format is:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
GORACE="option1=val1 option2=val2"
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The options are:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<code>log_path</code> (default <code>stderr</code>): The race detector writes
|
||||
its report to a file named <code>log_path.<em>pid</em></code>.
|
||||
The special names <code>stdout</code>
|
||||
and <code>stderr</code> cause reports to be written to standard output and
|
||||
standard error, respectively.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<code>exitcode</code> (default <code>66</code>): The exit status to use when
|
||||
exiting after a detected race.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<code>strip_path_prefix</code> (default <code>""</code>): Strip this prefix
|
||||
from all reported file paths, to make reports more concise.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<code>history_size</code> (default <code>1</code>): The per-goroutine memory
|
||||
access history is <code>32K * 2**history_size elements</code>.
|
||||
Increasing this value can avoid a "failed to restore the stack" error in reports, at the
|
||||
cost of increased memory usage.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<code>halt_on_error</code> (default <code>0</code>): Controls whether the program
|
||||
exits after reporting first data race.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<code>atexit_sleep_ms</code> (default <code>1000</code>): Amount of milliseconds
|
||||
to sleep in the main goroutine before exiting.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>

<h2 id="Excluding_Tests">Excluding Tests</h2>
|

When you build with <code>-race</code> flag, the <code>go</code> command defines additional
|

<a href="/pkg/go/build/#hdr-Build_Constraints">build tag</a> <code>race</code>.
|
||||
You can use the tag to exclude some code and tests when running the race detector.
|

Some examples:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
// +build !race
|
||||
|
||||
package foo
|

// The test contains a data race. See issue 123.
|
||||
func TestFoo(t *testing.T) {
|
||||
// ...
|

}
|
||||
|
||||
// The test fails under the race detector due to timeouts.
|

The race detector only finds races that happen at runtime, so it can't find
|
||||
races in code paths that are not executed.
|
||||
If your tests have incomplete coverage,
|
||||
you may find more races by running a binary built with <code>-race</code> under a realistic
|
||||
workload.

<h2 id="Typical_Data_Races">Typical Data Races</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Here are some typical data races. All of them can be detected with the race detector.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="Race_on_loop_counter">Race on loop counter</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
func main() {
|
||||
var wg sync.WaitGroup
|
||||
wg.Add(5)
|
||||
for i := 0; i < 5; i++ {
|
||||
go func() {
|
||||
fmt.Println(i) // Not the 'i' you are looking for.
|
||||
wg.Done()
|
||||
}()
|
||||
}
|
||||
wg.Wait()
|
||||
}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The variable <code>i</code> in the function literal is the same variable used by the loop, so
|
||||
the read in the goroutine races with the loop increment.
|
||||
(This program typically prints 55555, not 01234.)
|
||||
The program can be fixed by making a copy of the variable:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
func main() {
|
||||
var wg sync.WaitGroup
|
||||
wg.Add(5)
|
||||
for i := 0; i < 5; i++ {
|
||||
go func(j int) {
|
||||
fmt.Println(j) // Good. Read local copy of the loop counter.
|
||||
wg.Done()
|
||||
}(i)
|
||||
}
|
||||
wg.Wait()
|
||||
}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="Accidentally_shared_variable">Accidentally shared variable</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
// ParallelWrite writes data to file1 and file2, returns the errors.
|
||||
func ParallelWrite(data []byte) chan error {
|
||||
res := make(chan error, 2)
|
||||
f1, err := os.Create("file1")
|
||||
if err != nil {
|
||||
res <- err
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
go func() {
|
||||
// This err is shared with the main goroutine,
|
||||
// so the write races with the write below.
|
||||
_, err = f1.Write(data)
|
||||
res <- err
|
||||
f1.Close()
|
||||
}()
|
||||
}
|
||||
f2, err := os.Create("file2") // The second conflicting write to err.
|
||||
if err != nil {
|
||||
res <- err
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
go func() {
|
||||
_, err = f2.Write(data)
|
||||
res <- err
|
||||
f2.Close()
|
||||
}()
|
||||
}
|
||||
return res
|
||||
}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The fix is to introduce new variables in the goroutines (note the use of <code>:=</code>):
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
...
|
||||
_, err := f1.Write(data)
|
||||
...
|
||||
_, err := f2.Write(data)
|
||||
...
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="Unprotected_global_variable">Unprotected global variable</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If the following code is called from several goroutines, it leads to races on the <code>service</code> map.
|
||||
Concurrent reads and writes of the same map are not safe:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
var service map[string]net.Addr
|
||||
|
||||
func RegisterService(name string, addr net.Addr) {
|
||||
service[name] = addr
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func LookupService(name string) net.Addr {
|
||||
return service[name]
|
||||
}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To make the code safe, protect the accesses with a mutex:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
var (
|
||||
service map[string]net.Addr
|
||||
serviceMu sync.Mutex
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
func RegisterService(name string, addr net.Addr) {
|
||||
serviceMu.Lock()
|
||||
defer serviceMu.Unlock()
|
||||
service[name] = addr
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func LookupService(name string) net.Addr {
|
||||
serviceMu.Lock()
|
||||
defer serviceMu.Unlock()
|
||||
return service[name]
|
||||
}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="Primitive_unprotected_variable">Primitive unprotected variable</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Data races can happen on variables of primitive types as well (<code>bool</code>, <code>int</code>, <code>int64</code>, etc.),
|
||||
as in this example:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
type Watchdog struct{ last int64 }
|
||||
|
||||
func (w *Watchdog) KeepAlive() {
|
||||
w.last = time.Now().UnixNano() // First conflicting access.
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func (w *Watchdog) Start() {
|
||||
go func() {
|
||||
for {
|
||||
time.Sleep(time.Second)
|
||||
// Second conflicting access.
|
||||
if w.last < time.Now().Add(-10*time.Second).UnixNano() {
|
||||
fmt.Println("No keepalives for 10 seconds. Dying.")
|
||||
os.Exit(1)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}()
|
||||
}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Even such "innocent" data races can lead to hard-to-debug problems caused by
|
||||
non-atomicity of the memory accesses,
|
||||
interference with compiler optimizations,
|
||||
or reordering issues accessing processor memory .
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
A typical fix for this race is to use a channel or a mutex.
|
||||
To preserve the lock-free behavior, one can also use the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/sync/atomic/"><code>sync/atomic</code></a> package.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
type Watchdog struct{ last int64 }
|
||||
|
||||
func (w *Watchdog) KeepAlive() {
|
||||
atomic.StoreInt64(&w.last, time.Now().UnixNano())
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func (w *Watchdog) Start() {
|
||||
go func() {
|
||||
for {
|
||||
time.Sleep(time.Second)
|
||||
if atomic.LoadInt64(&w.last) < time.Now().Add(-10*time.Second).UnixNano() {
|
||||
fmt.Println("No keepalives for 10 seconds. Dying.")
|
||||
os.Exit(1)
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}()
|
||||
}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="Unsynchronized_send_and_close_operations">Unsynchronized send and close operations</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
As this example demonstrates, unsynchronized send and close operations
|
||||
on the same channel can also be a race condition:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
c := make(chan struct{}) // or buffered channel
|
||||
|
||||
// The race detector cannot derive the happens before relation
|
||||
// for the following send and close operations. These two operations
|
||||
// are unsynchronized and happen concurrently.
|
||||
go func() { c <- struct{}{} }()
|
||||
close(c)
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
According to the Go memory model, a send on a channel happens before
|
||||
the corresponding receive from that channel completes. To synchronize
|
||||
send and close operations, use a receive operation that guarantees
|
||||
the send is done before the close:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
c := make(chan struct{}) // or buffered channel
|
||||
|
||||
go func() { c <- struct{}{} }()
|
||||
<-c
|
||||
close(c)
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="Supported_Systems">Supported Systems</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The race detector runs on
|
||||
<code>linux/amd64</code>, <code>linux/ppc64le</code>,
|
||||
<code>linux/arm64</code>, <code>freebsd/amd64</code>,
|
||||
<code>netbsd/amd64</code>, <code>darwin/amd64</code>,
|
||||
<code>darwin/arm64</code>, and <code>windows/amd64</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="Runtime_Overheads">Runtime Overhead</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The cost of race detection varies by program, but for a typical program, memory
|
||||
usage may increase by 5-10x and execution time by 2-20x.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The race detector currently allocates an extra 8 bytes per <code>defer</code>
|
||||
and <code>recover</code> statement. Those extra allocations <a
|
||||
href="https://golang.org/issue/26813">are not recovered until the goroutine
|
||||
exits</a>. This means that if you have a long-running goroutine that is
|
||||
periodically issuing <code>defer</code> and <code>recover</code> calls,
|
||||
the program memory usage may grow without bound. These memory allocations
|
||||
will not show up in the output of <code>runtime.ReadMemStats</code> or
|
||||
<code>runtime/pprof</code>.

<h2>Getting Started</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
At present, you need to have a FreeBSD, Linux, OS X, or Windows machine to run Go.
|
||||
We will use <code>$</code> to represent the command prompt.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Install Go (see the <a href="/doc/install">Installation Instructions</a>).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Make a new directory for this tutorial inside your <code>GOPATH</code> and cd to it:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ mkdir gowiki
|
||||
$ cd gowiki
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Create a file named <code>wiki.go</code>, open it in your favorite editor, and
|
||||
add the following lines:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
package main
|
||||
|
||||
import (
|
||||
"fmt"
|
||||
"io/ioutil"
|
||||
)
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
We import the <code>fmt</code> and <code>ioutil</code> packages from the Go
|
||||
standard library. Later, as we implement additional functionality, we will
|
||||
add more packages to this <code>import</code> declaration.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Data Structures</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Let's start by defining the data structures. A wiki consists of a series of
|
||||
interconnected pages, each of which has a title and a body (the page content).
|
||||
Here, we define <code>Page</code> as a struct with two fields representing
|
||||
the title and body.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/part1.go" `/^type Page/` `/}/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The type <code>[]byte</code> means "a <code>byte</code> slice".
|
||||
(See <a href="/doc/articles/slices_usage_and_internals.html">Slices: usage and
|
||||
internals</a> for more on slices.)
|
||||
The <code>Body</code> element is a <code>[]byte</code> rather than
|
||||
<code>string</code> because that is the type expected by the <code>io</code>
|
||||
libraries we will use, as you'll see below.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <code>Page</code> struct describes how page data will be stored in memory.
|
||||
But what about persistent storage? We can address that by creating a
|
||||
<code>save</code> method on <code>Page</code>:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/part1.go" `/^func.*Page.*save/` `/}/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This method's signature reads: "This is a method named <code>save</code> that
|
||||
takes as its receiver <code>p</code>, a pointer to <code>Page</code> . It takes
|
||||
no parameters, and returns a value of type <code>error</code>."
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This method will save the <code>Page</code>'s <code>Body</code> to a text
|
||||
file. For simplicity, we will use the <code>Title</code> as the file name.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <code>save</code> method returns an <code>error</code> value because
|
||||
that is the return type of <code>WriteFile</code> (a standard library function
|
||||
that writes a byte slice to a file). The <code>save</code> method returns the
|
||||
error value, to let the application handle it should anything go wrong while
|
||||
writing the file. If all goes well, <code>Page.save()</code> will return
|
||||
<code>nil</code> (the zero-value for pointers, interfaces, and some other
|
||||
types).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The octal integer literal <code>0600</code>, passed as the third parameter to
|
||||
<code>WriteFile</code>, indicates that the file should be created with
|
||||
read-write permissions for the current user only. (See the Unix man page
|
||||
<code>open(2)</code> for details.)
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In addition to saving pages, we will want to load pages, too:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/part1-noerror.go" `/^func loadPage/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The function <code>loadPage</code> constructs the file name from the title
|
||||
parameter, reads the file's contents into a new variable <code>body</code>, and
|
||||
returns a pointer to a <code>Page</code> literal constructed with the proper
|
||||
title and body values.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Functions can return multiple values. The standard library function
|
||||
<code>io.ReadFile</code> returns <code>[]byte</code> and <code>error</code>.
|
||||
In <code>loadPage</code>, error isn't being handled yet; the "blank identifier"
|
||||
represented by the underscore (<code>_</code>) symbol is used to throw away the
|
||||
error return value (in essence, assigning the value to nothing).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
But what happens if <code>ReadFile</code> encounters an error? For example,
|
||||
the file might not exist. We should not ignore such errors. Let's modify the
|
||||
function to return <code>*Page</code> and <code>error</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/part1.go" `/^func loadPage/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Callers of this function can now check the second parameter; if it is
|
||||
<code>nil</code> then it has successfully loaded a Page. If not, it will be an
|
||||
<code>error</code> that can be handled by the caller (see the
|
||||
<a href="/ref/spec#Errors">language specification</a> for details).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
At this point we have a simple data structure and the ability to save to and
|
||||
load from a file. Let's write a <code>main</code> function to test what we've
|
||||
written:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/part1.go" `/^func main/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
After compiling and executing this code, a file named <code>TestPage.txt</code>
|
||||
would be created, containing the contents of <code>p1</code>. The file would
|
||||
then be read into the struct <code>p2</code>, and its <code>Body</code> element
|
||||
printed to the screen.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
You can compile and run the program like this:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ go build wiki.go
|
||||
$ ./wiki
|
||||
This is a sample Page.
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
(If you're using Windows you must type "<code>wiki</code>" without the
|
||||
"<code>./</code>" to run the program.)
|
||||

||||

||||

||||

|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Introducing the <code>net/http</code> package (an interlude)</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Here's a full working example of a simple web server:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/http-sample.go"}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <code>main</code> function begins with a call to
|
||||
<code>http.HandleFunc</code>, which tells the <code>http</code> package to
|
||||
handle all requests to the web root (<code>"/"</code>) with
|
||||
<code>handler</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
It then calls <code>http.ListenAndServe</code>, specifying that it should
|
||||
listen on port 8080 on any interface (<code>":8080"</code>). (Don't
|
||||
worry about its second parameter, <code>nil</code>, for now.)
|
||||
This function will block until the program is terminated.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<code>ListenAndServe</code> always returns an error, since it only returns when an
|
||||
unexpected error occurs.
|
||||
In order to log that error we wrap the function call with <code>log.Fatal</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The function <code>handler</code> is of the type <code>http.HandlerFunc</code>.
|
||||
It takes an <code>http.ResponseWriter</code> and an <code>http.Request</code> as
|
||||
its arguments.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
An <code>http.ResponseWriter</code> value assembles the HTTP server's response; by writing
|
||||
to it, we send data to the HTTP client.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
An <code>http.Request</code> is a data structure that represents the client
|
||||
HTTP request. <code>r.URL.Path</code> is the path component
|
||||
of the request URL. The trailing <code>[1:]</code> means
|
||||
"create a sub-slice of <code>Path</code> from the 1st character to the end."
|
||||
This drops the leading "/" from the path name.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you run this program and access the URL:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre>http://localhost:8080/monkeys</pre>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
the program would present a page containing:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre>Hi there, I love monkeys!</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Using <code>net/http</code> to serve wiki pages</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To use the <code>net/http</code> package, it must be imported:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
import (
|
||||
"fmt"
|
||||
"io/ioutil"
|
||||
"log"
|
||||
<b>"net/http"</b>
|
||||
)
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Let's create a handler, <code>viewHandler</code> that will allow users to
|
||||
view a wiki page. It will handle URLs prefixed with "/view/".
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/part2.go" `/^func viewHandler/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Again, note the use of <code>_</code> to ignore the <code>error</code>
|
||||
return value from <code>loadPage</code>. This is done here for simplicity
|
||||
and generally considered bad practice. We will attend to this later.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
First, this function extracts the page title from <code>r.URL.Path</code>,
|
||||
the path component of the request URL.
|
||||
The <code>Path</code> is re-sliced with <code>[len("/view/"):]</code> to drop
|
||||
the leading <code>"/view/"</code> component of the request path.
|
||||
This is because the path will invariably begin with <code>"/view/"</code>,
|
||||
which is not part of the page's title.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The function then loads the page data, formats the page with a string of simple
|
||||
HTML, and writes it to <code>w</code>, the <code>http.ResponseWriter</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To use this handler, we rewrite our <code>main</code> function to
|
||||
initialize <code>http</code> using the <code>viewHandler</code> to handle
|
||||
any requests under the path <code>/view/</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/part2.go" `/^func main/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<a href="part2.go">Click here to view the code we've written so far.</a>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Let's create some page data (as <code>test.txt</code>), compile our code, and
|
||||
try serving a wiki page.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Open <code>test.txt</code> file in your editor, and save the string "Hello world" (without quotes)
|
||||
in it.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ go build wiki.go
|
||||
$ ./wiki
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
(If you're using Windows you must type "<code>wiki</code>" without the
|
||||
"<code>./</code>" to run the program.)
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
With this web server running, a visit to <code><a
|
||||
href="http://localhost:8080/view/test">http://localhost:8080/view/test</a></code>
|
||||
should show a page titled "test" containing the words "Hello world".
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Editing Pages</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
A wiki is not a wiki without the ability to edit pages. Let's create two new
|
||||
handlers: one named <code>editHandler</code> to display an 'edit page' form,
|
||||
and the other named <code>saveHandler</code> to save the data entered via the
|
||||
form.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
First, we add them to <code>main()</code>:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/final-noclosure.go" `/^func main/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The function <code>editHandler</code> loads the page
|
||||
(or, if it doesn't exist, create an empty <code>Page</code> struct),
|
||||
and displays an HTML form.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/notemplate.go" `/^func editHandler/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This function will work fine, but all that hard-coded HTML is ugly.
|
||||
Of course, there is a better way.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>The <code>html/template</code> package</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <code>html/template</code> package is part of the Go standard library.
|
||||
We can use <code>html/template</code> to keep the HTML in a separate file,
|
||||
allowing us to change the layout of our edit page without modifying the
|
||||
underlying Go code.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
First, we must add <code>html/template</code> to the list of imports. We
|
||||
also won't be using <code>fmt</code> anymore, so we have to remove that.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
import (
|
||||
<b>"html/template"</b>
|
||||
"io/ioutil"
|
||||
"net/http"
|
||||
)
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Let's create a template file containing the HTML form.
|
||||
Open a new file named <code>edit.html</code>, and add the following lines:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/edit.html"}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Modify <code>editHandler</code> to use the template, instead of the hard-coded
|
||||
HTML:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/final-noerror.go" `/^func editHandler/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The function <code>template.ParseFiles</code> will read the contents of
|
||||
<code>edit.html</code> and return a <code>*template.Template</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The method <code>t.Execute</code> executes the template, writing the
|
||||
generated HTML to the <code>http.ResponseWriter</code>.
|
||||
The <code>.Title</code> and <code>.Body</code> dotted identifiers refer to
|
||||
<code>p.Title</code> and <code>p.Body</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Template directives are enclosed in double curly braces.
|
||||
The <code>printf "%s" .Body</code> instruction is a function call
|
||||
that outputs <code>.Body</code> as a string instead of a stream of bytes,
|
||||
the same as a call to <code>fmt.Printf</code>.
|
||||
The <code>html/template</code> package helps guarantee that only safe and
|
||||
correct-looking HTML is generated by template actions. For instance, it
|
||||
automatically escapes any greater than sign (<code>></code>), replacing it
|
||||
with <code>&gt;</code>, to make sure user data does not corrupt the form
|
||||
HTML.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Since we're working with templates now, let's create a template for our
|
||||
<code>viewHandler</code> called <code>view.html</code>:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/view.html"}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Modify <code>viewHandler</code> accordingly:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/final-noerror.go" `/^func viewHandler/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Notice that we've used almost exactly the same templating code in both
|
||||
handlers. Let's remove this duplication by moving the templating code
|
||||
to its own function:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/final-template.go" `/^func renderTemplate/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
And modify the handlers to use that function:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/final-template.go" `/^func viewHandler/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/final-template.go" `/^func editHandler/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If we comment out the registration of our unimplemented save handler in
|
||||
<code>main</code>, we can once again build and test our program.
|
||||
<a href="part3.go">Click here to view the code we've written so far.</a>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Handling non-existent pages</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
What if you visit <a href="http://localhost:8080/view/APageThatDoesntExist">
|
||||
<code>/view/APageThatDoesntExist</code></a>? You'll see a page containing
|
||||
HTML. This is because it ignores the error return value from
|
||||
<code>loadPage</code> and continues to try and fill out the template
|
||||
with no data. Instead, if the requested Page doesn't exist, it should
|
||||
redirect the client to the edit Page so the content may be created:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/part3-errorhandling.go" `/^func viewHandler/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <code>http.Redirect</code> function adds an HTTP status code of
|
||||
<code>http.StatusFound</code> (302) and a <code>Location</code>
|
||||
header to the HTTP response.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Saving Pages</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The function <code>saveHandler</code> will handle the submission of forms
|
||||
located on the edit pages. After uncommenting the related line in
|
||||
<code>main</code>, let's implement the handler:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/final-template.go" `/^func saveHandler/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The page title (provided in the URL) and the form's only field,
|
||||
<code>Body</code>, are stored in a new <code>Page</code>.
|
||||
The <code>save()</code> method is then called to write the data to a file,
|
||||
and the client is redirected to the <code>/view/</code> page.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The value returned by <code>FormValue</code> is of type <code>string</code>.
|
||||
We must convert that value to <code>[]byte</code> before it will fit into
|
||||
the <code>Page</code> struct. We use <code>[]byte(body)</code> to perform
|
||||
the conversion.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Error handling</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There are several places in our program where errors are being ignored. This
|
||||
is bad practice, not least because when an error does occur the program will
|
||||
have unintended behavior. A better solution is to handle the errors and return
|
||||
an error message to the user. That way if something does go wrong, the server
|
||||
will function exactly how we want and the user can be notified.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
First, let's handle the errors in <code>renderTemplate</code>:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/final-parsetemplate.go" `/^func renderTemplate/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <code>http.Error</code> function sends a specified HTTP response code
|
||||
(in this case "Internal Server Error") and error message.
|
||||
Already the decision to put this in a separate function is paying off.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Now let's fix up <code>saveHandler</code>:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/part3-errorhandling.go" `/^func saveHandler/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Any errors that occur during <code>p.save()</code> will be reported
|
||||
to the user.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Template caching</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There is an inefficiency in this code: <code>renderTemplate</code> calls
|
||||
<code>ParseFiles</code> every time a page is rendered.
|
||||
A better approach would be to call <code>ParseFiles</code> once at program
|
||||
initialization, parsing all templates into a single <code>*Template</code>.
|
||||
Then we can use the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/html/template/#Template.ExecuteTemplate"><code>ExecuteTemplate</code></a>
|
||||
method to render a specific template.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
First we create a global variable named <code>templates</code>, and initialize
|
||||
it with <code>ParseFiles</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/final.go" `/var templates/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The function <code>template.Must</code> is a convenience wrapper that panics
|
||||
when passed a non-nil <code>error</code> value, and otherwise returns the
|
||||
<code>*Template</code> unaltered. A panic is appropriate here; if the templates
|
||||
can't be loaded the only sensible thing to do is exit the program.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <code>ParseFiles</code> function takes any number of string arguments that
|
||||
identify our template files, and parses those files into templates that are
|
||||
named after the base file name. If we were to add more templates to our
|
||||
program, we would add their names to the <code>ParseFiles</code> call's
|
||||
arguments.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
We then modify the <code>renderTemplate</code> function to call the
|
||||
<code>templates.ExecuteTemplate</code> method with the name of the appropriate
|
||||
template:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/final.go" `/func renderTemplate/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Note that the template name is the template file name, so we must
|
||||
append <code>".html"</code> to the <code>tmpl</code> argument.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Validation</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
As you may have observed, this program has a serious security flaw: a user
|
||||
can supply an arbitrary path to be read/written on the server. To mitigate
|
||||
this, we can write a function to validate the title with a regular expression.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
First, add <code>"regexp"</code> to the <code>import</code> list.
|
||||
Then we can create a global variable to store our validation
|
||||
expression:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/final-noclosure.go" `/^var validPath/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The function <code>regexp.MustCompile</code> will parse and compile the
|
||||
regular expression, and return a <code>regexp.Regexp</code>.
|
||||
<code>MustCompile</code> is distinct from <code>Compile</code> in that it will
|
||||
panic if the expression compilation fails, while <code>Compile</code> returns
|
||||
an <code>error</code> as a second parameter.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Now, let's write a function that uses the <code>validPath</code>
|
||||
expression to validate path and extract the page title:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/final-noclosure.go" `/func getTitle/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If the title is valid, it will be returned along with a <code>nil</code>
|
||||
error value. If the title is invalid, the function will write a
|
||||
"404 Not Found" error to the HTTP connection, and return an error to the
|
||||
handler. To create a new error, we have to import the <code>errors</code>
|
||||
package.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Let's put a call to <code>getTitle</code> in each of the handlers:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/final-noclosure.go" `/^func viewHandler/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/final-noclosure.go" `/^func editHandler/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/final-noclosure.go" `/^func saveHandler/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Introducing Function Literals and Closures</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Catching the error condition in each handler introduces a lot of repeated code.
|
||||
What if we could wrap each of the handlers in a function that does this
|
||||
validation and error checking? Go's
|
||||
<a href="/ref/spec#Function_literals">function
|
||||
literals</a> provide a powerful means of abstracting functionality
|
||||
that can help us here.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
First, we re-write the function definition of each of the handlers to accept
|
||||
a title string:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
func viewHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, title string)
|
||||
func editHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, title string)
|
||||
func saveHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, title string)
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Now let's define a wrapper function that <i>takes a function of the above
|
||||
type</i>, and returns a function of type <code>http.HandlerFunc</code>
|
||||
(suitable to be passed to the function <code>http.HandleFunc</code>):
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
func makeHandler(fn func (http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request, string)) http.HandlerFunc {
|
||||
return func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
|
||||
// Here we will extract the page title from the Request,
|
||||
// and call the provided handler 'fn'
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The returned function is called a closure because it encloses values defined
|
||||
outside of it. In this case, the variable <code>fn</code> (the single argument
|
||||
to <code>makeHandler</code>) is enclosed by the closure. The variable
|
||||
<code>fn</code> will be one of our save, edit, or view handlers.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Now we can take the code from <code>getTitle</code> and use it here
|
||||
(with some minor modifications):
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/final.go" `/func makeHandler/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The closure returned by <code>makeHandler</code> is a function that takes
|
||||
an <code>http.ResponseWriter</code> and <code>http.Request</code> (in other
|
||||
words, an <code>http.HandlerFunc</code>).
|
||||
The closure extracts the <code>title</code> from the request path, and
|
||||
validates it with the <code>validPath</code> regexp. If the
|
||||
<code>title</code> is invalid, an error will be written to the
|
||||
<code>ResponseWriter</code> using the <code>http.NotFound</code> function.
|
||||
If the <code>title</code> is valid, the enclosed handler function
|
||||
<code>fn</code> will be called with the <code>ResponseWriter</code>,
|
||||
<code>Request</code>, and <code>title</code> as arguments.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Now we can wrap the handler functions with <code>makeHandler</code> in
|
||||
<code>main</code>, before they are registered with the <code>http</code>
|
||||
package:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/final.go" `/func main/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Finally we remove the calls to <code>getTitle</code> from the handler functions,
|
||||
making them much simpler:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/final.go" `/^func viewHandler/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/final.go" `/^func editHandler/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
{{code "doc/articles/wiki/final.go" `/^func saveHandler/` `/^}/`}}
|
||||
|
||||

</p>
|

</p>
|

|

<h2>Other tasks</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Here are some simple tasks you might want to tackle on your own:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Store templates in <code>tmpl/</code> and page data in <code>data/</code>.
|
||||
<li>Add a handler to make the web root redirect to
|
||||
<code>/view/FrontPage</code>.</li>
|
||||
<li>Spruce up the page templates by making them valid HTML and adding some
|
||||
CSS rules.</li>
|
||||
<li>Implement inter-page linking by converting instances of
|
||||
<code>[PageName]</code> to <br>
|
||||
<code><a href="/view/PageName">PageName</a></code>.
|
||||
(hint: you could use <code>regexp.ReplaceAllFunc</code> to do this)
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>

|

|

<p>
|
||||
There is a suite of programs to build and process Go source code.
|
||||
Instead of being run directly, programs in the suite are usually invoked
|
||||
by the <a href="/cmd/go/">go</a> program.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The most common way to run these programs is as a subcommand of the go program,
|
||||
for instance as <code>go fmt</code>. Run like this, the command operates on
|
||||
complete packages of Go source code, with the go program invoking the
|
||||
underlying binary with arguments appropriate to package-level processing.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The programs can also be run as stand-alone binaries, with unmodified arguments,
|
||||
using the go <code>tool</code> subcommand, such as <code>go tool cgo</code>.
|
||||
For most commands this is mainly useful for debugging.
|
||||
Some of the commands, such as <code>pprof</code>, are accessible only through
|
||||
the go <code>tool</code> subcommand.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Finally the <code>fmt</code> and <code>godoc</code> commands are installed
|
||||
as regular binaries called <code>gofmt</code> and <code>godoc</code> because
|
||||
they are so often referenced.

||||

<codewalk title="How to Write a Codewalk">
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Introduction" src="doc/codewalk/codewalk.xml">
|
||||
A codewalk is a guided tour through a piece of code.
|
||||
It consists of a sequence of steps, each typically explaining
|
||||
a highlighted section of code.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
|
||||
The <a href="/cmd/godoc">godoc</a> web server translates
|
||||
an XML file like the one in the main window pane into the HTML
|
||||
page that you're viewing now.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
|
||||
The codewalk with URL path <code>/doc/codewalk/</code><i>name</i>
|
||||
is loaded from the input file <code>$GOROOT/doc/codewalk/</code><i>name</i><code>.xml</code>.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
|
||||
This codewalk explains how to write a codewalk by examining
|
||||
its own source code,
|
||||
<code><a href="/doc/codewalk/codewalk.xml">$GOROOT/doc/codewalk/codewalk.xml</a></code>,
|
||||
shown in the main window pane to the left.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Title" src="doc/codewalk/codewalk.xml:/title=/">
|
||||
The codewalk input file is an XML file containing a single
|
||||
<code><codewalk></code> element.
|
||||
That element's <code>title</code> attribute gives the title
|
||||
that is used both on the codewalk page and in the codewalk list.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Steps" src="doc/codewalk/codewalk.xml:/<step/,/step>/">
|
||||
Each step in the codewalk is a <code><step></code> element
|
||||
nested inside the main <code><codewalk></code>.
|
||||
The step element's <code>title</code> attribute gives the step's title,
|
||||
which is shown in a shaded bar above the main step text.
|
||||
The element's <code>src</code> attribute specifies the source
|
||||
code to show in the main window pane and, optionally, a range of
|
||||
lines to highlight.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
|
||||
The first step in this codewalk does not highlight any lines:
|
||||
its <code>src</code> is just a file name.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Specifying a source line" src='doc/codewalk/codewalk.xml:/title="Title"/'>
|
||||
The most complex part of the codewalk specification is
|
||||
saying what lines to highlight.
|
||||
Instead of ordinary line numbers,
|
||||
the codewalk uses an address syntax that makes it possible
|
||||
to describe the match by its content.
|
||||
As the file gets edited, this descriptive address has a better
|
||||
chance to continue to refer to the right section of the file.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
|
||||
To specify a source line, use a <code>src</code> attribute of the form
|
||||
<i>filename</i><code>:</code><i>address</i>,
|
||||
where <i>address</i> is an address in the syntax used by the text editors <i>sam</i> and <i>acme</i>.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
|
||||
The simplest address is a single regular expression.
|
||||
The highlighted line in the main window pane shows that the
|
||||
address for the “Title” step was <code>/title=/</code>,
|
||||
which matches the first instance of that <a href="/pkg/regexp">regular expression</a> (<code>title=</code>) in the file.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Specifying a source range" src='doc/codewalk/codewalk.xml:/title="Steps"/'>
|
||||
To highlight a range of source lines, the simplest address to use is
|
||||
a pair of regular expressions
|
||||
<code>/</code><i>regexp1</i><code>/,/</code><i>regexp2</i><code>/</code>.
|
||||
The highlight begins with the line containing the first match for <i>regexp1</i>
|
||||
and ends with the line containing the first match for <i>regexp2</i>
|
||||
after the end of the match for <i>regexp1</i>.
|
||||
Ignoring the HTML quoting,
|
||||
The line containing the first match for <i>regexp1</i> will be the first one highlighted,
|
||||
and the line containing the first match for <i>regexp2</i>.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
|
||||
The address <code>/<step/,/step>/</code> looks for the first instance of
|
||||
<code><step</code> in the file, and then starting after that point,
|
||||
looks for the first instance of <code>step></code>.
|
||||
(Click on the “Steps” step above to see the highlight in action.)
|
||||
Note that the <code><</code> and <code>></code> had to be written
|
||||
using XML escapes in order to be valid XML.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Advanced addressing" src="doc/codewalk/codewalk.xml:/Advanced/,/step>/">
|
||||
The <code>/</code><i>regexp</i><code>/</code>
|
||||
and <code>/</code><i>regexp1</i><code>/,/</code><i>regexp2</i><code>/</code>
|
||||
forms suffice for most highlighting.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
|
||||
The full address syntax is summarized in this table
|
||||
(an excerpt of Table II from
|
||||
<a href="https://9p.io/sys/doc/sam/sam.html">The text editor <code>sam</code></a>):

<step title="Introduction" src="doc/codewalk/pig.go">
|

Go supports first class functions, higher-order functions, user-defined
|
||||
function types, function literals, closures, and multiple return values.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
|
||||
This rich feature set supports a functional programming style in a strongly
|
||||
typed language.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
|
||||
In this codewalk we will look at a simple program that simulates a dice game
|
||||
called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_(dice)">Pig</a> and evaluates
|
||||
basic strategies.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Game overview" src="doc/codewalk/pig.go:/\/\/ A score/,/thisTurn int\n}/">
|
||||
Pig is a two-player game played with a 6-sided die. Each turn, you may roll or stay.
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li> If you roll a 1, you lose all points for your turn and play passes to
|
||||
your opponent. Any other roll adds its value to your turn score. </li>
|
||||
<li> If you stay, your turn score is added to your total score, and play passes
|
||||
to your opponent. </li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
The first person to reach 100 total points wins.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
|
||||
The <code>score</code> type stores the scores of the current and opposing
|
||||
players, in addition to the points accumulated during the current turn.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="User-defined function types" src="doc/codewalk/pig.go:/\/\/ An action/,/bool\)/">
|
||||
In Go, functions can be passed around just like any other value. A function's
|
||||
type signature describes the types of its arguments and return values.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
|
||||
The <code>action</code> type is a function that takes a <code>score</code>
|
||||
and returns the resulting <code>score</code> and whether the current turn is
|
||||
over.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
|
||||
If the turn is over, the <code>player</code> and <code>opponent</code> fields
|
||||
in the resulting <code>score</code> should be swapped, as it is now the other player's
|
||||
turn.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Multiple return values" src="doc/codewalk/pig.go:/\/\/ roll returns/,/true\n}/">
|
||||
Go functions can return multiple values.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
|
||||
The functions <code>roll</code> and <code>stay</code> each return a pair of
|
||||
values. They also match the <code>action</code> type signature. These
|
||||
<code>action</code> functions define the rules of Pig.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Higher-order functions" src="doc/codewalk/pig.go:/\/\/ A strategy/,/action\n/">
|
||||
A function can use other functions as arguments and return values.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
|
||||
A <code>strategy</code> is a function that takes a <code>score</code> as input
|
||||
and returns an <code>action</code> to perform. <br/>
|
||||
(Remember, an <code>action</code> is itself a function.)
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Function literals and closures" src="doc/codewalk/pig.go:/return func/,/return roll\n\t}/">
|
||||
Anonymous functions can be declared in Go, as in this example. Function
|
||||
literals are closures: they inherit the scope of the function in which they
|
||||
are declared.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
|
||||
One basic strategy in Pig is to continue rolling until you have accumulated at
|
||||
least k points in a turn, and then stay. The argument <code>k</code> is
|
||||
enclosed by this function literal, which matches the <code>strategy</code> type
|
||||
signature.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Simulating games" src="doc/codewalk/pig.go:/\/\/ play/,/currentPlayer\n}/">
|
||||
We simulate a game of Pig by calling an <code>action</code> to update the
|
||||
<code>score</code> until one player reaches 100 points. Each
|
||||
<code>action</code> is selected by calling the <code>strategy</code> function
|
||||
associated with the current player.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Simulating a tournament" src="doc/codewalk/pig.go:/\/\/ roundRobin/,/gamesPerStrategy\n}/">
|
||||
The <code>roundRobin</code> function simulates a tournament and tallies wins.
|
||||
Each strategy plays each other strategy <code>gamesPerSeries</code> times.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Variadic function declarations" src="doc/codewalk/pig.go:/\/\/ ratioS/,/string {/">
|
||||
Variadic functions like <code>ratioString</code> take a variable number of
|

arguments. These arguments are available as a slice inside the function.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Simulation results" src="doc/codewalk/pig.go:/func main/,/\n}/">
|
||||
The <code>main</code> function defines 100 basic strategies, simulates a round
|
||||
robin tournament, and then prints the win/loss record of each strategy.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
|

Among these strategies, staying at 25 is best, but the <a

Generating random text: a Markov chain algorithm
|
||||
|
||||
Based on the program presented in the "Design and Implementation" chapter
|
||||
of The Practice of Programming (Kernighan and Pike, Addison-Wesley 1999).
|
||||
See also Computer Recreations, Scientific American 260, 122 - 125 (1989).
|
||||
|
||||
A Markov chain algorithm generates text by creating a statistical model of
|
||||
potential textual suffixes for a given prefix. Consider this text:
|
||||
|
||||
I am not a number! I am a free man!
|
||||
|
||||
Our Markov chain algorithm would arrange this text into this set of prefixes
|
||||
and suffixes, or "chain": (This table assumes a prefix length of two words.)
|
||||
|
||||
Prefix Suffix
|
||||
|
||||
"" "" I
|
||||
"" I am
|
||||
I am a
|
||||
I am not
|
||||
a free man!
|
||||
am a free
|
||||
am not a
|
||||
a number! I
|
||||
number! I am
|
||||
not a number!
|
||||
|
||||
To generate text using this table we select an initial prefix ("I am", for
|
||||
example), choose one of the suffixes associated with that prefix at random
|
||||
with probability determined by the input statistics ("a"),
|
||||
and then create a new prefix by removing the first word from the prefix
|
||||
and appending the suffix (making the new prefix is "am a"). Repeat this process
|
||||
until we can't find any suffixes for the current prefix or we exceed the word
|
||||
limit. (The word limit is necessary as the chain table may contain cycles.)
|
||||
|
||||
Our version of this program reads text from standard input, parsing it into a
|
||||
Markov chain, and writes generated text to standard output.
|
||||
The prefix and output lengths can be specified using the -prefix and -words
|
||||
flags on the command-line.

Each map key is a prefix (a <code>string</code>) and its values are
|
||||
lists of suffixes (a slice of strings, <code>[]string</code>).
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
Here is the example table from the package comment
|
||||
as modeled by this data structure:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
map[string][]string{
|
||||
" ": {"I"},
|
||||
" I": {"am"},
|
||||
"I am": {"a", "not"},
|
||||
"a free": {"man!"},
|
||||
"am a": {"free"},
|
||||
"am not": {"a"},
|
||||
"a number!": {"I"},
|
||||
"number! I": {"am"},
|
||||
"not a": {"number!"},
|
||||
}</pre>
|
||||
While each prefix consists of multiple words, we
|
||||
store prefixes in the map as a single <code>string</code>.
|
||||
It would seem more natural to store the prefix as a
|
||||
<code>[]string</code>, but we can't do this with a map because the
|
||||
key type of a map must implement equality (and slices do not).
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
Therefore, in most of our code we will model prefixes as a
|
||||
<code>[]string</code> and join the strings together with a space
|
||||
to generate the map key:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
Prefix Map key
|
||||
|
||||
[]string{"", ""} " "
|
||||
[]string{"", "I"} " I"
|
||||
[]string{"I", "am"} "I am"
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="The Chain struct" src="doc/codewalk/markov.go:/type Chain/,/}/">
|
||||
The complete state of the chain table consists of the table itself and
|
||||
the word length of the prefixes. The <code>Chain</code> struct stores
|
||||
this data.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="The NewChain constructor function" src="doc/codewalk/markov.go:/func New/,/\n}/">
|
||||
The <code>Chain</code> struct has two unexported fields (those that
|
||||
do not begin with an upper case character), and so we write a
|
||||
<code>NewChain</code> constructor function that initializes the
|
||||
<code>chain</code> map with <code>make</code> and sets the
|
||||
<code>prefixLen</code> field.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
This is constructor function is not strictly necessary as this entire
|
||||
program is within a single package (<code>main</code>) and therefore
|
||||
there is little practical difference between exported and unexported
|
||||
fields. We could just as easily write out the contents of this function
|
||||
when we want to construct a new Chain.
|
||||
But using these unexported fields is good practice; it clearly denotes
|
||||
that only methods of Chain and its constructor function should access
|
||||
those fields. Also, structuring <code>Chain</code> like this means we
|
||||
could easily move it into its own package at some later date.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="The Prefix type" src="doc/codewalk/markov.go:/type Prefix/">
|
||||
Since we'll be working with prefixes often, we define a
|
||||
<code>Prefix</code> type with the concrete type <code>[]string</code>.
|
||||
Defining a named type clearly allows us to be explicit when we are
|
||||
working with a prefix instead of just a <code>[]string</code>.
|
||||
Also, in Go we can define methods on any named type (not just structs),
|
||||
so we can add methods that operate on <code>Prefix</code> if we need to.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="The String method" src="doc/codewalk/markov.go:/func[^\n]+String/,/}/">
|
||||
The first method we define on <code>Prefix</code> is
|
||||
<code>String</code>. It returns a <code>string</code> representation
|
||||
of a <code>Prefix</code> by joining the slice elements together with
|
||||
spaces. We will use this method to generate keys when working with
|
||||
the chain map.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Building the chain" src="doc/codewalk/markov.go:/func[^\n]+Build/,/\n}/">
|
||||
The <code>Build</code> method reads text from an <code>io.Reader</code>
|
||||
and parses it into prefixes and suffixes that are stored in the
|
||||
<code>Chain</code>.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
The <code><a href="/pkg/io/#Reader">io.Reader</a></code> is an
|
||||
interface type that is widely used by the standard library and
|
||||
other Go code. Our code uses the
|
||||
<code><a href="/pkg/fmt/#Fscan">fmt.Fscan</a></code> function, which
|
||||
reads space-separated values from an <code>io.Reader</code>.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
The <code>Build</code> method returns once the <code>Reader</code>'s
|
||||
<code>Read</code> method returns <code>io.EOF</code> (end of file)
|
||||
or some other read error occurs.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Buffering the input" src="doc/codewalk/markov.go:/bufio\.NewReader/">
|
||||
This function does many small reads, which can be inefficient for some
|
||||
<code>Readers</code>. For efficiency we wrap the provided
|
||||
<code>io.Reader</code> with
|
||||
<code><a href="/pkg/bufio/">bufio.NewReader</a></code> to create a
|
||||
new <code>io.Reader</code> that provides buffering.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="The Prefix variable" src="doc/codewalk/markov.go:/make\(Prefix/">
|
||||
At the top of the function we make a <code>Prefix</code> slice
|
||||
<code>p</code> using the <code>Chain</code>'s <code>prefixLen</code>
|
||||
field as its length.
|
||||
We'll use this variable to hold the current prefix and mutate it with
|
||||
each new word we encounter.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Scanning words" src="doc/codewalk/markov.go:/var s string/,/\n }/">
|
||||
In our loop we read words from the <code>Reader</code> into a
|
||||
<code>string</code> variable <code>s</code> using
|
||||
<code>fmt.Fscan</code>. Since <code>Fscan</code> uses space to
|
||||
separate each input value, each call will yield just one word
|
||||
(including punctuation), which is exactly what we need.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
<code>Fscan</code> returns an error if it encounters a read error
|
||||
(<code>io.EOF</code>, for example) or if it can't scan the requested
|
||||
value (in our case, a single string). In either case we just want to
|
||||
stop scanning, so we <code>break</code> out of the loop.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Adding a prefix and suffix to the chain" src="doc/codewalk/markov.go:/ key/,/key\], s\)">
|
||||
The word stored in <code>s</code> is a new suffix. We add the new
|
||||
prefix/suffix combination to the <code>chain</code> map by computing
|
||||
the map key with <code>p.String</code> and appending the suffix
|
||||
to the slice stored under that key.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
The built-in <code>append</code> function appends elements to a slice
|
||||
and allocates new storage when necessary. When the provided slice is
|
||||
<code>nil</code>, <code>append</code> allocates a new slice.
|
||||
This behavior conveniently ties in with the semantics of our map:
|
||||
retrieving an unset key returns the zero value of the value type and
|
||||
the zero value of <code>[]string</code> is <code>nil</code>.
|
||||
When our program encounters a new prefix (yielding a <code>nil</code>
|
||||
value in the map) <code>append</code> will allocate a new slice.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
For more information about the <code>append</code> function and slices
|
||||
in general see the
|
||||
<a href="/doc/articles/slices_usage_and_internals.html">Slices: usage and internals</a> article.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Pushing the suffix onto the prefix" src="doc/codewalk/markov.go:/p\.Shift/">
|
||||
Before reading the next word our algorithm requires us to drop the
|
||||
first word from the prefix and push the current suffix onto the prefix.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
When in this state
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
p == Prefix{"I", "am"}
|
||||
s == "not" </pre>
|
||||
the new value for <code>p</code> would be
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
p == Prefix{"am", "not"}</pre>
|
||||
This operation is also required during text generation so we put
|
||||
the code to perform this mutation of the slice inside a method on
|
||||
<code>Prefix</code> named <code>Shift</code>.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="The Shift method" src="doc/codewalk/markov.go:/func[^\n]+Shift/,/\n}/">
|
||||
The <code>Shift</code> method uses the built-in <code>copy</code>
|
||||
function to copy the last len(p)-1 elements of <code>p</code> to
|
||||
the start of the slice, effectively moving the elements
|
||||
one index to the left (if you consider zero as the leftmost index).
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
p := Prefix{"I", "am"}
|
||||
copy(p, p[1:])
|
||||
// p == Prefix{"am", "am"}</pre>
|
||||
We then assign the provided <code>word</code> to the last index
|
||||
of the slice:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
// suffix == "not"
|
||||
p[len(p)-1] = suffix
|
||||
// p == Prefix{"am", "not"}</pre>
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Generating text" src="doc/codewalk/markov.go:/func[^\n]+Generate/,/\n}/">
|
||||
The <code>Generate</code> method is similar to <code>Build</code>
|
||||
except that instead of reading words from a <code>Reader</code>
|
||||
and storing them in a map, it reads words from the map and
|
||||
appends them to a slice (<code>words</code>).
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
<code>Generate</code> uses a conditional for loop to generate
|
||||
up to <code>n</code> words.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Getting potential suffixes" src="doc/codewalk/markov.go:/choices/,/}\n/">
|
||||
At each iteration of the loop we retrieve a list of potential suffixes
|
||||
for the current prefix. We access the <code>chain</code> map at key
|
||||
<code>p.String()</code> and assign its contents to <code>choices</code>.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
If <code>len(choices)</code> is zero we break out of the loop as there
|
||||
are no potential suffixes for that prefix.
|
||||
This test also works if the key isn't present in the map at all:
|
||||
in that case, <code>choices</code> will be <code>nil</code> and the
|
||||
length of a <code>nil</code> slice is zero.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Choosing a suffix at random" src="doc/codewalk/markov.go:/next := choices/,/Shift/">
|
||||
To choose a suffix we use the
|
||||
<code><a href="/pkg/math/rand/#Intn">rand.Intn</a></code> function.
|
||||
It returns a random integer up to (but not including) the provided
|
||||
value. Passing in <code>len(choices)</code> gives us a random index
|
||||
into the full length of the list.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
We use that index to pick our new suffix, assign it to
|
||||
<code>next</code> and append it to the <code>words</code> slice.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
Next, we <code>Shift</code> the new suffix onto the prefix just as
|
||||
we did in the <code>Build</code> method.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Returning the generated text" src="doc/codewalk/markov.go:/Join\(words/">
|
||||
Before returning the generated text as a string, we use the
|
||||
<code>strings.Join</code> function to join the elements of
|
||||
the <code>words</code> slice together, separated by spaces.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Command-line flags" src="doc/codewalk/markov.go:/Register command-line flags/,/prefixLen/">
|
||||
To make it easy to tweak the prefix and generated text lengths we
|
||||
use the <code><a href="/pkg/flag/">flag</a></code> package to parse
|
||||
command-line flags.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
These calls to <code>flag.Int</code> register new flags with the
|
||||
<code>flag</code> package. The arguments to <code>Int</code> are the
|
||||
flag name, its default value, and a description. The <code>Int</code>
|
||||
function returns a pointer to an integer that will contain the
|
||||
user-supplied value (or the default value if the flag was omitted on
|
||||
the command-line).
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Program set up" src="doc/codewalk/markov.go:/flag.Parse/,/rand.Seed/">
|
||||
The <code>main</code> function begins by parsing the command-line
|
||||
flags with <code>flag.Parse</code> and seeding the <code>rand</code>
|
||||
package's random number generator with the current time.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
If the command-line flags provided by the user are invalid the
|
||||
<code>flag.Parse</code> function will print an informative usage
|
||||
message and terminate the program.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Creating and building a new Chain" src="doc/codewalk/markov.go:/c := NewChain/,/c\.Build/">
|
||||
To create the new <code>Chain</code> we call <code>NewChain</code>
|
||||
with the value of the <code>prefix</code> flag.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
To build the chain we call <code>Build</code> with
|
||||
<code>os.Stdin</code> (which implements <code>io.Reader</code>) so
|
||||
that it will read its input from standard input.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Generating and printing text" src="doc/codewalk/markov.go:/c\.Generate/,/fmt.Println/">
|
||||
Finally, to generate text we call <code>Generate</code> with
|
||||
the value of the <code>words</code> flag and assigning the result
|
||||
to the variable <code>text</code>.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
Then we call <code>fmt.Println</code> to write the text to standard
|
||||
output, followed by a carriage return.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Using this program" src="doc/codewalk/markov.go">
|
||||
To use this program, first build it with the
|
||||
<a href="/cmd/go/">go</a> command:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ go build markov.go</pre>
|
||||
And then execute it while piping in some input text:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ echo "a man a plan a canal panama" \
|
||||
| ./markov -prefix=1
|
||||
a plan a man a plan a canal panama</pre>
|
||||
Here's a transcript of generating some text using the Go distribution's
|
||||
README file as source material:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ ./markov -words=10 < $GOROOT/README
|
||||
This is the source code repository for the Go source
|
||||
$ ./markov -prefix=1 -words=10 < $GOROOT/README
|
||||
This is the go directory (the one containing this README).
|
||||
$ ./markov -prefix=1 -words=10 < $GOROOT/README
|
||||
This is the variable if you have just untarred a</pre>
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="An exercise for the reader" src="doc/codewalk/markov.go">
|
||||
The <code>Generate</code> function does a lot of allocations when it
|
||||
builds the <code>words</code> slice. As an exercise, modify it to
|
||||
take an <code>io.Writer</code> to which it incrementally writes the
|
||||
generated text with <code>Fprint</code>.
|
||||
Aside from being more efficient this makes <code>Generate</code>
|
||||
more symmetrical to <code>Build</code>.

<codewalk title="Share Memory By Communicating">
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Introduction" src="doc/codewalk/urlpoll.go">
|
||||
Go's approach to concurrency differs from the traditional use of
|
||||
threads and shared memory. Philosophically, it can be summarized:
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
<i>Don't communicate by sharing memory; share memory by communicating.</i>
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
Channels allow you to pass references to data structures between goroutines.
|
||||
If you consider this as passing around ownership of the data (the ability to
|
||||
read and write it), they become a powerful and expressive synchronization
|
||||
mechanism.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
In this codewalk we will look at a simple program that polls a list of
|
||||
URLs, checking their HTTP response codes and periodically printing their state.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="State type" src="doc/codewalk/urlpoll.go:/State/,/}/">
|
||||
The State type represents the state of a URL.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
The Pollers send State values to the StateMonitor,
|
||||
which maintains a map of the current state of each URL.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Resource type" src="doc/codewalk/urlpoll.go:/Resource/,/}/">
|
||||
A Resource represents the state of a URL to be polled: the URL itself
|
||||
and the number of errors encountered since the last successful poll.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
When the program starts, it allocates one Resource for each URL.
|
||||
The main goroutine and the Poller goroutines send the Resources to
|
||||
each other on channels.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Poller function" src="doc/codewalk/urlpoll.go:/func Poller/,/\n}/">
|
||||
Each Poller receives Resource pointers from an input channel.
|
||||
In this program, the convention is that sending a Resource pointer on
|
||||
a channel passes ownership of the underlying data from the sender
|
||||
to the receiver. Because of this convention, we know that
|
||||
no two goroutines will access this Resource at the same time.
|
||||
This means we don't have to worry about locking to prevent concurrent
|
||||
access to these data structures.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
The Poller processes the Resource by calling its Poll method.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
It sends a State value to the status channel, to inform the StateMonitor
|
||||
of the result of the Poll.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
Finally, it sends the Resource pointer to the out channel. This can be
|
||||
interpreted as the Poller saying "I'm done with this Resource" and
|
||||
returning ownership of it to the main goroutine.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
Several goroutines run Pollers, processing Resources in parallel.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="The Poll method" src="doc/codewalk/urlpoll.go:/Poll executes/,/\n}/">
|
||||
The Poll method (of the Resource type) performs an HTTP HEAD request
|
||||
for the Resource's URL and returns the HTTP response's status code.
|
||||
If an error occurs, Poll logs the message to standard error and returns the
|
||||
error string instead.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="main function" src="doc/codewalk/urlpoll.go:/func main/,/\n}/">
|
||||
The main function starts the Poller and StateMonitor goroutines
|
||||
and then loops passing completed Resources back to the pending
|
||||
channel after appropriate delays.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Creating channels" src="doc/codewalk/urlpoll.go:/Create our/,/complete/">
|
||||
First, main makes two channels of *Resource, pending and complete.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
Inside main, a new goroutine sends one Resource per URL to pending
|
||||
and the main goroutine receives completed Resources from complete.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
The pending and complete channels are passed to each of the Poller
|
||||
goroutines, within which they are known as in and out.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Initializing StateMonitor" src="doc/codewalk/urlpoll.go:/Launch the StateMonitor/,/statusInterval/">
|
||||
StateMonitor will initialize and launch a goroutine that stores the state
|
||||
of each Resource. We will look at this function in detail later.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
For now, the important thing to note is that it returns a channel of State,
|
||||
which is saved as status and passed to the Poller goroutines.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Launching Poller goroutines" src="doc/codewalk/urlpoll.go:/Launch some Poller/,/}/">
|
||||
Now that it has the necessary channels, main launches a number of
|
||||
Poller goroutines, passing the channels as arguments.
|
||||
The channels provide the means of communication between the main, Poller, and
|
||||
StateMonitor goroutines.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Send Resources to pending" src="doc/codewalk/urlpoll.go:/Send some Resources/,/}\(\)/">
|
||||
To add the initial work to the system, main starts a new goroutine
|
||||
that allocates and sends one Resource per URL to pending.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
The new goroutine is necessary because unbuffered channel sends and
|
||||
receives are synchronous. That means these channel sends will block until
|
||||
the Pollers are ready to read from pending.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
Were these sends performed in the main goroutine with fewer Pollers than
|
||||
channel sends, the program would reach a deadlock situation, because
|
||||
main would not yet be receiving from complete.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
Exercise for the reader: modify this part of the program to read a list of
|
||||
URLs from a file. (You may want to move this goroutine into its own
|
||||
named function.)
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Main Event Loop" src="doc/codewalk/urlpoll.go:/range complete/,/\n }/">
|
||||
When a Poller is done with a Resource, it sends it on the complete channel.
|
||||
This loop receives those Resource pointers from complete.
|
||||
For each received Resource, it starts a new goroutine calling
|
||||
the Resource's Sleep method. Using a new goroutine for each
|
||||
ensures that the sleeps can happen in parallel.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
Note that any single Resource pointer may only be sent on either pending or
|
||||
complete at any one time. This ensures that a Resource is either being
|
||||
handled by a Poller goroutine or sleeping, but never both simultaneously.
|
||||
In this way, we share our Resource data by communicating.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="The Sleep method" src="doc/codewalk/urlpoll.go:/Sleep/,/\n}/">
|
||||
Sleep calls time.Sleep to pause before sending the Resource to done.
|
||||
The pause will either be of a fixed length (pollInterval) plus an
|
||||
additional delay proportional to the number of sequential errors (r.errCount).
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
This is an example of a typical Go idiom: a function intended to run inside
|
||||
a goroutine takes a channel, upon which it sends its return value
|
||||
(or other indication of completed state).
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="StateMonitor" src="doc/codewalk/urlpoll.go:/StateMonitor/,/\n}/">
|
||||
The StateMonitor receives State values on a channel and periodically
|
||||
outputs the state of all Resources being polled by the program.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="The updates channel" src="doc/codewalk/urlpoll.go:/updates :=/">
|
||||
The variable updates is a channel of State, on which the Poller goroutines
|
||||
send State values.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
This channel is returned by the function.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="The urlStatus map" src="doc/codewalk/urlpoll.go:/urlStatus/">
|
||||
The variable urlStatus is a map of URLs to their most recent status.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="The Ticker object" src="doc/codewalk/urlpoll.go:/ticker/">
|
||||
A time.Ticker is an object that repeatedly sends a value on a channel at a
|
||||
specified interval.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
In this case, ticker triggers the printing of the current state to
|
||||
standard output every updateInterval nanoseconds.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="The StateMonitor goroutine" src="doc/codewalk/urlpoll.go:/go func/,/}\(\)/">
|
||||
StateMonitor will loop forever, selecting on two channels:
|
||||
ticker.C and update. The select statement blocks until one of its
|
||||
communications is ready to proceed.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
When StateMonitor receives a tick from ticker.C, it calls logState to
|
||||
print the current state. When it receives a State update from updates,
|
||||
it records the new status in the urlStatus map.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
Notice that this goroutine owns the urlStatus data structure,
|
||||
ensuring that it can only be accessed sequentially.
|
||||
This prevents memory corruption issues that might arise from parallel reads
|
||||
and/or writes to a shared map.
|
||||
</step>
|
||||
|
||||
<step title="Conclusion" src="doc/codewalk/urlpoll.go">
|
||||
In this codewalk we have explored a simple example of using Go's concurrency
|
||||
primitives to share memory through communication.
|
||||
<br/><br/>
|
||||
This should provide a starting point from which to explore the ways in which
|
||||
goroutines and channels can be used to write expressive and concise concurrent
|
||||
programs.

a reliable debugger for Go programs, particularly heavily concurrent

<h2 id="Introduction">Introduction</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
When you compile and link your Go programs with the <code>gc</code> toolchain
|
||||
on Linux, macOS, FreeBSD or NetBSD, the resulting binaries contain DWARFv4
|
||||
debugging information that recent versions (≥7.5) of the GDB debugger can
|
||||
use to inspect a live process or a core dump.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Pass the <code>'-w'</code> flag to the linker to omit the debug information
|
||||
(for example, <code>go</code> <code>build</code> <code>-ldflags=-w</code> <code>prog.go</code>).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The code generated by the <code>gc</code> compiler includes inlining of
|
||||
function invocations and registerization of variables. These optimizations
|
||||
can sometimes make debugging with <code>gdb</code> harder.
|
||||
If you find that you need to disable these optimizations,
|
||||
build your program using <code>go</code> <code>build</code> <code>-gcflags=all="-N -l"</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you want to use gdb to inspect a core dump, you can trigger a dump
|
||||
on a program crash, on systems that permit it, by setting
|
||||
<code>GOTRACEBACK=crash</code> in the environment (see the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/runtime/#hdr-Environment_Variables"> runtime package
|
||||
documentation</a> for more info).

<p>
|

A recent extension mechanism to GDB allows it to load extension scripts for a
|
||||
given binary. The toolchain uses this to extend GDB with a handful of
|
||||
commands to inspect internals of the runtime code (such as goroutines) and to
|
||||
pretty print the built-in map, slice and channel types.
|
||||
</p>
|

<ul>
|

<li>

Pretty printing a string, slice, map, channel or interface:

A function to cast interfaces to their dynamic types:

<p class="detail"><b>Known issue:</b> GDB can’t automatically find the dynamic

the short type name and a pointer).</p>

Inspecting goroutines:

(gdb) <b>help goroutine</b></pre>
|

<pre>(gdb) <b>goroutine 12 bt</b></pre>
|
||||
You can inspect all goroutines by passing <code>all</code> instead of a specific goroutine's ID.
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
<pre>(gdb) <b>goroutine all bt</b></pre>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you'd like to see how this works, or want to extend it, take a look at <a
|
||||
href="/src/runtime/runtime-gdb.py">src/runtime/runtime-gdb.py</a> in
|
||||
the Go source distribution. It depends on some special magic types
|
||||
(<code>hash<T,U></code>) and variables (<code>runtime.m</code> and
|
||||
<code>runtime.g</code>) that the linker
|
||||
(<a href="/src/cmd/link/internal/ld/dwarf.go">src/cmd/link/internal/ld/dwarf.go</a>) ensures are described in
|
||||
the DWARF code.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you're interested in what the debugging information looks like, run
|
||||
<code>objdump</code> <code>-W</code> <code>a.out</code> and browse through the <code>.debug_*</code>
|
||||
sections.

<h3 id="Known_Issues">Known Issues</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>String pretty printing only triggers for type string, not for types derived
|
||||
from it.</li>
|
||||
<li>Type information is missing for the C parts of the runtime library.</li>
|
||||
<li>GDB does not understand Go’s name qualifications and treats
|
||||
<code>"fmt.Print"</code> as an unstructured literal with a <code>"."</code>
|
||||
that needs to be quoted. It objects even more strongly to method names of
|
||||
the form <code>pkg.(*MyType).Meth</code>.
|
||||
<li>As of Go 1.11, debug information is compressed by default.
|
||||
Older versions of gdb, such as the one available by default on MacOS,
|
||||
do not understand the compression.
|
||||
You can generate uncompressed debug information by using <code>go
|
||||
build -ldflags=-compressdwarf=false</code>.
|
||||
(For convenience you can put the <code>-ldflags</code> option in
|
||||
the <a href="/cmd/go/#hdr-Environment_variables"><code>GOFLAGS</code>
|
||||
environment variable</a> so that you don't have to specify it each time.)

<p>
|
||||
In this tutorial we will inspect the binary of the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/regexp/">regexp</a> package's unit tests. To build the binary,
|
||||
change to <code>$GOROOT/src/regexp</code> and run <code>go</code> <code>test</code> <code>-c</code>.
|
||||
This should produce an executable file named <code>regexp.test</code>.
|
||||

<h3 id="Getting_Started">Getting Started</h3>
|

|

<p>
|
||||
Launch GDB, debugging <code>regexp.test</code>:
|
||||
</p>
|

|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ <b>gdb regexp.test</b>

Loading Go Runtime support.
|
||||
(gdb)
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The message "Loading Go Runtime support" means that GDB loaded the
|
||||
extension from <code>$GOROOT/src/runtime/runtime-gdb.py</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To help GDB find the Go runtime sources and the accompanying support script,
|
||||
pass your <code>$GOROOT</code> with the <code>'-d'</code> flag:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ <b>gdb regexp.test -d $GOROOT</b>
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If for some reason GDB still can't find that directory or that script, you can load
|
||||
it by hand by telling gdb (assuming you have the go sources in
|
||||
<code>~/go/</code>):
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
(gdb) <b>source ~/go/src/runtime/runtime-gdb.py</b>

<h3 id="Inspecting_the_source">Inspecting the source</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Use the <code>"l"</code> or <code>"list"</code> command to inspect source code.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
(gdb) <b>l</b>
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
List a specific part of the source parameterizing <code>"list"</code> with a
|
||||
function name (it must be qualified with its package name).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
(gdb) <b>l main.main</b>
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
List a specific file and line number:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
(gdb) <b>l regexp.go:1</b>
|
||||
(gdb) <i># Hit enter to repeat last command. Here, this lists next 10 lines.</i>

|
||||
<h3 id="Naming">Naming</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Variable and function names must be qualified with the name of the packages
|
||||
they belong to. The <code>Compile</code> function from the <code>regexp</code>
|
||||
package is known to GDB as <code>'regexp.Compile'</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Methods must be qualified with the name of their receiver types. For example,
|
||||
the <code>*Regexp</code> type’s <code>String</code> method is known as
|
||||
<code>'regexp.(*Regexp).String'</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Variables that shadow other variables are magically suffixed with a number in the debug info.
|
||||
Variables referenced by closures will appear as pointers magically prefixed with '&'.

|
||||
<h3 id="Setting_breakpoints">Setting breakpoints</h3>
|
||||
|

<p>
|

Set a breakpoint at the <code>TestFind</code> function:

|
||||
<pre>

The command <code>info</code> <code>locals</code> lists all variables local to the function and their values, but is a bit
|

dangerous to use, since it will also try to print uninitialized variables. Uninitialized slices may cause gdb to try
|
||||
to print arbitrary large arrays.
|

</p>
|

When printing the argument, notice that it’s a pointer to a

<code>Regexp</code> value. Note that GDB has incorrectly put the <code>*</code>
|
||||
on the right-hand side of the type name and made up a 'struct' keyword, in traditional C style.

<h3 id="Pretty_Printing">Pretty Printing</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
GDB's pretty printing mechanism is triggered by regexp matches on type names. An example for slices:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
(gdb) <b>p utf</b>
|
||||
$22 = []uint8 = {0 '\000', 0 '\000', 0 '\000', 0 '\000'}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Since slices, arrays and strings are not C pointers, GDB can't interpret the subscripting operation for you, but
|
||||
you can look inside the runtime representation to do that (tab completion helps here):
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
|
||||
(gdb) <b>p slc</b>
|
||||
$11 = []int = {0, 0}
|
||||
(gdb) <b>p slc-></b><i><TAB></i>
|
||||
array slc len
|
||||
(gdb) <b>p slc->array</b>
|
||||
$12 = (int *) 0xf84057af00
|
||||
(gdb) <b>p slc->array[1]</b>
|
||||
$13 = 0</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The extension functions $len and $cap work on strings, arrays and slices:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
(gdb) <b>p $len(utf)</b>
|
||||
$23 = 4
|
||||
(gdb) <b>p $cap(utf)</b>
|
||||
$24 = 4
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Channels and maps are 'reference' types, which gdb shows as pointers to C++-like types <code>hash<int,string>*</code>. Dereferencing will trigger prettyprinting
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Interfaces are represented in the runtime as a pointer to a type descriptor and a pointer to a value. The Go GDB runtime extension decodes this and automatically triggers pretty printing for the runtime type. The extension function <code>$dtype</code> decodes the dynamic type for you (examples are taken from a breakpoint at <code>regexp.go</code> line 293.)
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>

<h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
|

|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The Go ecosystem provides a large suite of APIs and tools to
|
||||
diagnose logic and performance problems in Go programs. This page
|
||||
summarizes the available tools and helps Go users pick the right one
|
||||
for their specific problem.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Diagnostics solutions can be categorized into the following groups:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Profiling</strong>: Profiling tools analyze the complexity and costs of a
|
||||
Go program such as its memory usage and frequently called
|
||||
functions to identify the expensive sections of a Go program.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Tracing</strong>: Tracing is a way to instrument code to analyze latency
|
||||
throughout the lifecycle of a call or user request. Traces provide an
|
||||
overview of how much latency each component contributes to the overall
|
||||
latency in a system. Traces can span multiple Go processes.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Debugging</strong>: Debugging allows us to pause a Go program and examine
|
||||
its execution. Program state and flow can be verified with debugging.</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Runtime statistics and events</strong>: Collection and analysis of runtime stats and events
|
||||
provides a high-level overview of the health of Go programs. Spikes/dips of metrics
|
||||
helps us to identify changes in throughput, utilization, and performance.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Note: Some diagnostics tools may interfere with each other. For example, precise
|
||||
memory profiling skews CPU profiles and goroutine blocking profiling affects scheduler
|
||||
trace. Use tools in isolation to get more precise info.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="profiling">Profiling</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Profiling is useful for identifying expensive or frequently called sections
|
||||
of code. The Go runtime provides <a href="https://golang.org/pkg/runtime/pprof/">
|
||||
profiling data</a> in the format expected by the
|
||||
<a href="https://github.com/google/pprof/blob/master/doc/README.md">pprof visualization tool</a>.
|
||||
The profiling data can be collected during testing
|
||||
via <code>go</code> <code>test</code> or endpoints made available from the <a href="/pkg/net/http/pprof/">
|
||||
net/http/pprof</a> package. Users need to collect the profiling data and use pprof tools to filter
|
||||
and visualize the top code paths.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Predefined profiles provided by the <a href="/pkg/runtime/pprof">runtime/pprof</a> package:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<strong>cpu</strong>: CPU profile determines where a program spends
|
||||
its time while actively consuming CPU cycles (as opposed to while sleeping or waiting for I/O).
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<strong>heap</strong>: Heap profile reports memory allocation samples;
|
||||
used to monitor current and historical memory usage, and to check for memory leaks.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<strong>threadcreate</strong>: Thread creation profile reports the sections
|
||||
of the program that lead the creation of new OS threads.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<strong>goroutine</strong>: Goroutine profile reports the stack traces of all current goroutines.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<strong>block</strong>: Block profile shows where goroutines block waiting on synchronization
|
||||
primitives (including timer channels). Block profile is not enabled by default;
|
||||
use <code>runtime.SetBlockProfileRate</code> to enable it.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<strong>mutex</strong>: Mutex profile reports the lock contentions. When you think your
|
||||
CPU is not fully utilized due to a mutex contention, use this profile. Mutex profile
|
||||
is not enabled by default, see <code>runtime.SetMutexProfileFraction</code> to enable it.
|
||||
</li>
|

</ul>

<p><strong>What other profilers can I use to profile Go programs?</strong></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
On Linux, <a href="https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Tutorial">perf tools</a>
|
||||
can be used for profiling Go programs. Perf can profile
|
||||
and unwind cgo/SWIG code and kernel, so it can be useful to get insights into
|
||||
native/kernel performance bottlenecks. On macOS,
|
||||
<a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/InstrumentsUserGuide/">Instruments</a>
|
||||
suite can be used profile Go programs.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>Can I profile my production services?</strong></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Yes. It is safe to profile programs in production, but enabling
|
||||
some profiles (e.g. the CPU profile) adds cost. You should expect to
|
||||
see performance downgrade. The performance penalty can be estimated
|
||||
by measuring the overhead of the profiler before turning it on in
|
||||
production.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
You may want to periodically profile your production services.
|
||||
Especially in a system with many replicas of a single process, selecting
|
||||
a random replica periodically is a safe option.
|
||||
Select a production process, profile it for
|
||||
X seconds for every Y seconds and save the results for visualization and
|
||||
analysis; then repeat periodically. Results may be manually and/or automatically
|
||||
reviewed to find problems.
|
||||
Collection of profiles can interfere with each other,
|
||||
so it is recommended to collect only a single profile at a time.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<strong>What are the best ways to visualize the profiling data?</strong>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The Go tools provide text, graph, and <a href="http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/cl-manual.html">callgrind</a>
|
||||
visualization of the profile data using
|
||||
<code><a href="https://github.com/google/pprof/blob/master/doc/README.md">go tool pprof</a></code>.
|
||||
Read <a href="https://blog.golang.org/profiling-go-programs">Profiling Go programs</a>
|
||||
to see them in action.

|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Another way to visualize profile data is a <a href="http://www.brendangregg.com/flamegraphs.html">flame graph</a>.
|
||||
Flame graphs allow you to move in a specific ancestry path, so you can zoom
|
||||
in/out of specific sections of code.
|
||||
The <a href="https://github.com/google/pprof">upstream pprof</a>
|
||||
has support for flame graphs.
|

<br>
|

<small>Flame graphs offers visualization to spot the most expensive code-paths.</small>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>Am I restricted to the built-in profiles?</strong></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Additionally to what is provided by the runtime, Go users can create
|
||||
their custom profiles via <a href="/pkg/runtime/pprof/#Profile">pprof.Profile</a>
|
||||
and use the existing tools to examine them.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>Can I serve the profiler handlers (/debug/pprof/...) on a different path and port?</strong></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Yes. The <code>net/http/pprof</code> package registers its handlers to the default
|
||||
mux by default, but you can also register them yourself by using the handlers
|
||||
exported from the package.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For example, the following example will serve the pprof.Profile
|
||||
handler on :7777 at /custom_debug_path/profile:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
package main
|
||||
|
||||
import (
|
||||
"log"
|
||||
"net/http"
|
||||
"net/http/pprof"
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
func main() {
|
||||
mux := http.NewServeMux()
|
||||
mux.HandleFunc("/custom_debug_path/profile", pprof.Profile)
|
||||
log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":7777", mux))
|
||||
}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="tracing">Tracing</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Tracing is a way to instrument code to analyze latency throughout the
|
||||
lifecycle of a chain of calls. Go provides
|
||||
<a href="https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/net/trace">golang.org/x/net/trace</a>
|
||||
package as a minimal tracing backend per Go node and provides a minimal
|
||||
instrumentation library with a simple dashboard. Go also provides
|
||||
an execution tracer to trace the runtime events within an interval.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Tracing enables us to:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Instrument and analyze application latency in a Go process.</li>
|
||||
<li>Measure the cost of specific calls in a long chain of calls.</li>
|
||||
<li>Figure out the utilization and performance improvements.
|
||||
Bottlenecks are not always obvious without tracing data.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In monolithic systems, it's relatively easy to collect diagnostic data
|
||||
from the building blocks of a program. All modules live within one
|
||||
process and share common resources to report logs, errors, and other
|
||||
diagnostic information. Once your system grows beyond a single process and
|
||||
starts to become distributed, it becomes harder to follow a call starting
|
||||
from the front-end web server to all of its back-ends until a response is
|
||||
returned back to the user. This is where distributed tracing plays a big
|
||||
role to instrument and analyze your production systems.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Distributed tracing is a way to instrument code to analyze latency throughout
|
||||
the lifecycle of a user request. When a system is distributed and when
|
||||
conventional profiling and debugging tools don’t scale, you might want
|
||||
to use distributed tracing tools to analyze the performance of your user
|
||||
requests and RPCs.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Distributed tracing enables us to:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Instrument and profile application latency in a large system.</li>
|
||||
<li>Track all RPCs within the lifecycle of a user request and see integration issues
|
||||
that are only visible in production.</li>
|
||||
<li>Figure out performance improvements that can be applied to our systems.
|
||||
Many bottlenecks are not obvious before the collection of tracing data.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Go ecosystem provides various distributed tracing libraries per tracing system
|
||||
and backend-agnostic ones.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>Is there a way to automatically intercept each function call and create traces?</strong></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go doesn’t provide a way to automatically intercept every function call and create
|
||||
trace spans. You need to manually instrument your code to create, end, and annotate spans.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>How should I propagate trace headers in Go libraries?</strong></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
You can propagate trace identifiers and tags in the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/context#Context"><code>context.Context</code></a>.
|
||||
There is no canonical trace key or common representation of trace headers
|
||||
in the industry yet. Each tracing provider is responsible for providing propagation
|
||||
utilities in their Go libraries.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<strong>What other low-level events from the standard library or
|
||||
runtime can be included in a trace?</strong>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The standard library and runtime are trying to expose several additional APIs
|
||||
to notify on low level internal events. For example,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/http/httptrace#ClientTrace"><code>httptrace.ClientTrace</code></a>
|
||||
provides APIs to follow low-level events in the life cycle of an outgoing request.
|
||||
There is an ongoing effort to retrieve low-level runtime events from
|
||||
the runtime execution tracer and allow users to define and record their user events.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="debugging">Debugging</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Debugging is the process of identifying why a program misbehaves.
|
||||
Debuggers allow us to understand a program’s execution flow and current state.
|
||||
There are several styles of debugging; this section will only focus on attaching
|
||||
a debugger to a program and core dump debugging.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Go users mostly use the following debuggers:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<a href="https://github.com/derekparker/delve">Delve</a>:
|
||||
Delve is a debugger for the Go programming language. It has
|
||||
support for Go’s runtime concepts and built-in types. Delve is
|
||||
trying to be a fully featured reliable debugger for Go programs.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<a href="https://golang.org/doc/gdb">GDB</a>:
|
||||
Go provides GDB support via the standard Go compiler and Gccgo.
|
||||
The stack management, threading, and runtime contain aspects that differ
|
||||
enough from the execution model GDB expects that they can confuse the
|
||||
debugger, even when the program is compiled with gccgo. Even though
|
||||
GDB can be used to debug Go programs, it is not ideal and may
|
||||
create confusion.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>How well do debuggers work with Go programs?</strong></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <code>gc</code> compiler performs optimizations such as
|
||||
function inlining and variable registerization. These optimizations
|
||||
sometimes make debugging with debuggers harder. There is an ongoing
|
||||
effort to improve the quality of the DWARF information generated for
|
||||
optimized binaries. Until those improvements are available, we recommend
|
||||
disabling optimizations when building the code being debugged. The following
|
||||
command builds a package with no compiler optimizations:
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ go build -gcflags=all="-N -l"
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
As part of the improvement effort, Go 1.10 introduced a new compiler
|
||||
flag <code>-dwarflocationlists</code>. The flag causes the compiler to
|
||||
add location lists that helps debuggers work with optimized binaries.
|
||||
The following command builds a package with optimizations but with
|
||||
the DWARF location lists:
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ go build -gcflags="-dwarflocationlists=true"
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>What’s the recommended debugger user interface?</strong></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Even though both delve and gdb provides CLIs, most editor integrations
|
||||
and IDEs provides debugging-specific user interfaces.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>Is it possible to do postmortem debugging with Go programs?</strong></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
A core dump file is a file that contains the memory dump of a running
|
||||
process and its process status. It is primarily used for post-mortem
|
||||
debugging of a program and to understand its state
|
||||
while it is still running. These two cases make debugging of core
|
||||
dumps a good diagnostic aid to postmortem and analyze production
|
||||
services. It is possible to obtain core files from Go programs and
|
||||
use delve or gdb to debug, see the
|
||||
<a href="https://golang.org/wiki/CoreDumpDebugging">core dump debugging</a>
|
||||
page for a step-by-step guide.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="runtime">Runtime statistics and events</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The runtime provides stats and reporting of internal events for
|
||||
users to diagnose performance and utilization problems at the
|
||||
runtime level.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Users can monitor these stats to better understand the overall
|
||||
health and performance of Go programs.
|
||||
Some frequently monitored stats and states:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><code><a href="/pkg/runtime/#ReadMemStats">runtime.ReadMemStats</a></code>
|
||||
reports the metrics related to heap
|
||||
allocation and garbage collection. Memory stats are useful for
|
||||
monitoring how much memory resources a process is consuming,
|
||||
whether the process can utilize memory well, and to catch
|
||||
memory leaks.</li>
|
||||
<li><code><a href="/pkg/runtime/debug/#ReadGCStats">debug.ReadGCStats</a></code>
|
||||
reads statistics about garbage collection.
|
||||
It is useful to see how much of the resources are spent on GC pauses.
|
||||
It also reports a timeline of garbage collector pauses and pause time percentiles.</li>
|
||||
<li><code><a href="/pkg/runtime/debug/#Stack">debug.Stack</a></code>
|
||||
returns the current stack trace. Stack trace
|
||||
is useful to see how many goroutines are currently running,
|
||||
what they are doing, and whether they are blocked or not.</li>
|
||||
<li><code><a href="/pkg/runtime/debug/#WriteHeapDump">debug.WriteHeapDump</a></code>
|
||||
suspends the execution of all goroutines
|
||||
and allows you to dump the heap to a file. A heap dump is a
|
||||
snapshot of a Go process' memory at a given time. It contains all
|
||||
allocated objects as well as goroutines, finalizers, and more.</li>
|
||||
<li><code><a href="/pkg/runtime#NumGoroutine">runtime.NumGoroutine</a></code>
|
||||
returns the number of current goroutines.
|
||||
The value can be monitored to see whether enough goroutines are
|
||||
utilized, or to detect goroutine leaks.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="execution-tracer">Execution tracer</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Go comes with a runtime execution tracer to capture a wide range
|
||||
of runtime events. Scheduling, syscall, garbage collections,
|
||||
heap size, and other events are collected by runtime and available
|
||||
for visualization by the go tool trace. Execution tracer is a tool
|
||||
to detect latency and utilization problems. You can examine how well
|
||||
the CPU is utilized, and when networking or syscalls are a cause of
|
||||
preemption for the goroutines.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Tracer is useful to:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Understand how your goroutines execute.</li>
|
||||
<li>Understand some of the core runtime events such as GC runs.</li>
|
||||
<li>Identify poorly parallelized execution.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>However, it is not great for identifying hot spots such as
|
||||
analyzing the cause of excessive memory or CPU usage.
|
||||
Use profiling tools instead first to address them.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<img width="800" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/golangorg-assets/tracer-lock.png">
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Above, the go tool trace visualization shows the execution started
|
||||
fine, and then it became serialized. It suggests that there might
|
||||
be lock contention for a shared resource that creates a bottleneck.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>See <a href="https://golang.org/cmd/trace/"><code>go</code> <code>tool</code> <code>trace</code></a>
|
||||
to collect and analyze runtime traces.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="godebug">GODEBUG</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Runtime also emits events and information if
|
||||
<a href="https://golang.org/pkg/runtime/#hdr-Environment_Variables">GODEBUG</a>
|
||||
environmental variable is set accordingly.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>GODEBUG=gctrace=1 prints garbage collector events at
|
||||
each collection, summarizing the amount of memory collected
|
||||
and the length of the pause.</li>
|
||||
<li>GODEBUG=inittrace=1 prints a summary of execution time and memory allocation
|
||||
information for completed package initialization work.</li>
|
||||
<li>GODEBUG=schedtrace=X prints scheduling events every X milliseconds.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The GODEBUG environmental variable can be used to disable use of
|
||||
instruction set extensions in the standard library and runtime.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>GODEBUG=cpu.all=off disables the use of all optional
|
||||
instruction set extensions.</li>
|
||||
<li>GODEBUG=cpu.<em>extension</em>=off disables use of instructions from the
|
||||
specified instruction set extension.<br>
|

|
||||
The master sources are not buildable by themselves, but only in
|
||||
conjunction with GCC (in the future, other compilers may be
|
||||
supported). Changes made to the gccgo frontend are also applied to
|
||||
the GCC source code repository hosted at <code>gcc.gnu.org</code>. In
|
||||
the <code>gofrontend</code> repository, the <code>go</code> directory
|
||||
is mirrored to the <code>gcc/go/gofrontend</code> directory in the GCC
|
||||
repository, and the <code>gofrontend</code> <code>libgo</code>
|
||||
directory is mirrored to the GCC <code>libgo</code> directory. In
|
||||
addition, the <code>test</code> directory
|
||||
from <a href="//go.googlesource.com/go">the main Go repository</a>
|
||||
is mirrored to the <code>gcc/testsuite/go.test/test</code> directory
|
||||
in the GCC repository.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Changes to these directories always flow from the master sources to
|
||||
the GCC repository. The files should never be changed in the GCC
|
||||
repository except by changing them in the master sources and mirroring
|
||||
them.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The gccgo frontend is written in C++.
|
||||
It follows the GNU and GCC coding standards for C++.
|
||||
In writing code for the frontend, follow the formatting of the
|
||||
surrounding code.
|
||||
Almost all GCC-specific code is not in the frontend proper and is
|
||||
instead in the GCC sources in the <code>gcc/go</code> directory.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The run-time library for gccgo is mostly the same as the library
|
||||
in <a href="//go.googlesource.com/go">the main Go repository</a>.
|
||||
The library code in the Go repository is periodically merged into
|
||||
the <code>libgo/go</code> directory of the <code>gofrontend</code> and
|
||||
then the GCC repositories, using the shell
|
||||
script <code>libgo/merge.sh</code>. Accordingly, most library changes
|
||||
should be made in the main Go repository. The files outside
|
||||
of <code>libgo/go</code> are gccgo-specific; that said, some of the
|
||||
files in <code>libgo/runtime</code> are based on files
|
||||
in <code>src/runtime</code> in the main Go repository.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Testing</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
All patches must be tested. A patch that introduces new failures is
|
||||
not acceptable.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To run the gccgo test suite, run <code>make check-go</code> in your
|
||||
build directory. This will run various tests
|
||||
under <code>gcc/testsuite/go.*</code> and will also run
|
||||
the <code>libgo</code> testsuite. This copy of the tests from the
|
||||
main Go repository is run using the DejaGNU script found
|
||||
in <code>gcc/testsuite/go.test/go-test.exp</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Most new tests should be submitted to the main Go repository for later
|
||||
mirroring into the GCC repository. If there is a need for specific
|
||||
tests for gccgo, they should go in
|
||||
the <code>gcc/testsuite/go.go-torture</code>
|
||||
or <code>gcc/testsuite/go.dg</code> directories in the GCC repository.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Submitting Changes</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Changes to the Go frontend should follow the same process as for the
|
||||
main Go repository, only for the <code>gofrontend</code> project and
|
||||
the <code>gofrontend-dev@googlegroups.com</code> mailing list
|
||||
rather than the <code>go</code> project and the
|
||||
<code>golang-dev@googlegroups.com</code> mailing list. Those changes
|
||||
will then be merged into the GCC sources.

This document explains how to use gccgo, a compiler for
|
||||
the Go language. The gccgo compiler is a new frontend
|
||||
for GCC, the widely used GNU compiler. Although the
|
||||
frontend itself is under a BSD-style license, gccgo is
|
||||
normally used as part of GCC and is then covered by
|
||||
the <a href="https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html">GNU General Public
|
||||
License</a> (the license covers gccgo itself as part of GCC; it
|
||||
does not cover code generated by gccgo).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Note that gccgo is not the <code>gc</code> compiler; see
|
||||
the <a href="/doc/install.html">Installing Go</a> instructions for that
|
||||
compiler.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="Releases">Releases</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The simplest way to install gccgo is to install a GCC binary release
|
||||
built to include Go support. GCC binary releases are available from
|
||||
<a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html">various
|
||||
websites</a> and are typically included as part of GNU/Linux
|
||||
distributions. We expect that most people who build these binaries
|
||||
will include Go support.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The GCC 4.7.1 release and all later 4.7 releases include a complete
|
||||
<a href="/doc/go1.html">Go 1</a> compiler and libraries.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Due to timing, the GCC 4.8.0 and 4.8.1 releases are close to but not
|
||||
identical to Go 1.1. The GCC 4.8.2 release includes a complete Go
|
||||
1.1.2 implementation.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The GCC 4.9 releases include a complete Go 1.2 implementation.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The GCC 5 releases include a complete implementation of the Go 1.4
|
||||
user libraries. The Go 1.4 runtime is not fully merged, but that
|
||||
should not be visible to Go programs.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The GCC 6 releases include a complete implementation of the Go 1.6.1
|
||||
user libraries. The Go 1.6 runtime is not fully merged, but that
|
||||
should not be visible to Go programs.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The GCC 7 releases include a complete implementation of the Go 1.8.1
|
||||
user libraries. As with earlier releases, the Go 1.8 runtime is not
|
||||
fully merged, but that should not be visible to Go programs.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The GCC 8 releases include a complete implementation of the Go 1.10.1
|
||||
release. The Go 1.10 runtime has now been fully merged into the GCC
|
||||
development sources, and concurrent garbage collection is fully
|
||||
supported.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The GCC 9 releases include a complete implementation of the Go 1.12.2
|
||||
release.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="Source_code">Source code</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you cannot use a release, or prefer to build gccgo for yourself, the
|
||||
gccgo source code is accessible via Git. The GCC web site has
|
||||
<a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/git.html">instructions for getting the GCC
|
||||
source code</a>. The gccgo source code is included. As a convenience, a
|
||||
stable version of the Go support is available in the
|
||||
<code>devel/gccgo</code> branch of the main GCC code repository:
|
||||
<code>git://gcc.gnu.org/git/gcc.git</code>.
|
||||
This branch is periodically updated with stable Go compiler sources.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Note that although <code>gcc.gnu.org</code> is the most convenient way
|
||||
to get the source code for the Go frontend, it is not where the master
|
||||
sources live. If you want to contribute changes to the Go frontend
|
||||
compiler, see <a href="/doc/gccgo_contribute.html">Contributing to
|
||||
gccgo</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="Building">Building</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Building gccgo is just like building GCC
|
||||
with one or two additional options. See
|
||||
the <a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/install/">instructions on the gcc web
|
||||
site</a>. When you run <code>configure</code>, add the
|
||||
option <code>--enable-languages=c,c++,go</code> (along with other
|
||||
languages you may want to build). If you are targeting a 32-bit x86,
|
||||
then you will want to build gccgo to default to
|
||||
supporting locked compare and exchange instructions; do this by also
|
||||
using the <code>configure</code> option <code>--with-arch=i586</code>
|
||||
(or a newer architecture, depending on where you need your programs to
|
||||
run). If you are targeting a 64-bit x86, but sometimes want to use
|
||||
the <code>-m32</code> option, then use the <code>configure</code>
|
||||
option <code>--with-arch-32=i586</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="Gold">Gold</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
On x86 GNU/Linux systems the gccgo compiler is able to
|
||||
use a small discontiguous stack for goroutines. This permits programs
|
||||
to run many more goroutines, since each goroutine can use a relatively
|
||||
small stack. Doing this requires using the gold linker version 2.22
|
||||
or later. You can either install GNU binutils 2.22 or later, or you
|
||||
can build gold yourself.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To build gold yourself, build the GNU binutils,
|
||||
using <code>--enable-gold=default</code> when you run
|
||||
the <code>configure</code> script. Before building, you must install
|
||||
the flex and bison packages. A typical sequence would look like
|
||||
this (you can replace <code>/opt/gold</code> with any directory to
|
||||
which you have write access):
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
git clone git://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git
|
||||
mkdir binutils-objdir
|
||||
cd binutils-objdir
|
||||
../binutils-gdb/configure --enable-gold=default --prefix=/opt/gold
|
||||
make
|
||||
make install
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
However you install gold, when you configure gccgo, use the
|
||||
option <code>--with-ld=<var>GOLD_BINARY</var></code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="Prerequisites">Prerequisites</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
A number of prerequisites are required to build GCC, as
|
||||
described on
|
||||
the <a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html">gcc web
|
||||
site</a>. It is important to install all the prerequisites before
|
||||
running the gcc <code>configure</code> script.
|
||||
The prerequisite libraries can be conveniently downloaded using the
|
||||
script <code>contrib/download_prerequisites</code> in the GCC sources.
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="Build_commands">Build commands</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Once all the prerequisites are installed, then a typical build and
|
||||
install sequence would look like this (only use
|
||||
the <code>--with-ld</code> option if you are using the gold linker as
|
||||
described above):
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
git clone --branch devel/gccgo git://gcc.gnu.org/git/gcc.git gccgo
|
||||
mkdir objdir
|
||||
cd objdir
|
||||
../gccgo/configure --prefix=/opt/gccgo --enable-languages=c,c++,go --with-ld=/opt/gold/bin/ld
|
||||
make
|
||||
make install
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="Using_gccgo">Using gccgo</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The gccgo compiler works like other gcc frontends. As of GCC 5 the gccgo
|
||||
installation also includes a version of the <code>go</code> command,
|
||||
which may be used to build Go programs as described at
|
||||
<a href="https://golang.org/cmd/go">https://golang.org/cmd/go</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To compile a file without using the <code>go</code> command:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
gccgo -c file.go
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
That produces <code>file.o</code>. To link files together to form an
|
||||
executable:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
gccgo -o file file.o
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To run the resulting file, you will need to tell the program where to
|
||||
find the compiled Go packages. There are a few ways to do this:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Set the <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> environment variable:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${prefix}/lib/gcc/MACHINE/VERSION
|
||||
[or]
|
||||
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${prefix}/lib64/gcc/MACHINE/VERSION
|
||||
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Here <code>${prefix}</code> is the <code>--prefix</code> option used
|
||||
when building gccgo. For a binary install this is
|
||||
normally <code>/usr</code>. Whether to use <code>lib</code>
|
||||
or <code>lib64</code> depends on the target.
|
||||
Typically <code>lib64</code> is correct for x86_64 systems,
|
||||
and <code>lib</code> is correct for other systems. The idea is to
|
||||
name the directory where <code>libgo.so</code> is found.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Passing a <code>-Wl,-R</code> option when you link (replace lib with
|
||||
lib64 if appropriate for your system):
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
go build -gccgoflags -Wl,-R,${prefix}/lib/gcc/MACHINE/VERSION
|
||||
[or]
|
||||
gccgo -o file file.o -Wl,-R,${prefix}/lib/gcc/MACHINE/VERSION
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Use the <code>-static-libgo</code> option to link statically against
|
||||
the compiled packages.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Use the <code>-static</code> option to do a fully static link (the
|
||||
default for the <code>gc</code> compiler).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="Options">Options</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The gccgo compiler supports all GCC options
|
||||
that are language independent, notably the <code>-O</code>
|
||||
and <code>-g</code> options.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <code>-fgo-pkgpath=PKGPATH</code> option may be used to set a
|
||||
unique prefix for the package being compiled.
|
||||
This option is automatically used by the go command, but you may want
|
||||
to use it if you invoke gccgo directly.
|
||||
This option is intended for use with large
|
||||
programs that contain many packages, in order to allow multiple
|
||||
packages to use the same identifier as the package name.
|
||||
The <code>PKGPATH</code> may be any string; a good choice for the
|
||||
string is the path used to import the package.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <code>-I</code> and <code>-L</code> options, which are synonyms
|
||||
for the compiler, may be used to set the search path for finding
|
||||
imports.
|
||||
These options are not needed if you build with the go command.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="Imports">Imports</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
When you compile a file that exports something, the export
|
||||
information will be stored directly in the object file.
|
||||
If you build with gccgo directly, rather than with the go command,
|
||||
then when you import a package, you must tell gccgo how to find the
|
||||
file.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
When you import the package <var>FILE</var> with gccgo,
|
||||
it will look for the import data in the following files, and use the
|
||||
first one that it finds.
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><code><var>FILE</var>.gox</code>
|
||||
<li><code>lib<var>FILE</var>.so</code>
|
||||
<li><code>lib<var>FILE</var>.a</code>
|
||||
<li><code><var>FILE</var>.o</code>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<code><var>FILE</var>.gox</code>, when used, will typically contain
|
||||
nothing but export data. This can be generated from
|
||||
<code><var>FILE</var>.o</code> via
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
objcopy -j .go_export FILE.o FILE.gox
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The gccgo compiler will look in the current
|
||||
directory for import files. In more complex scenarios you
|
||||
may pass the <code>-I</code> or <code>-L</code> option to
|
||||
gccgo. Both options take directories to search. The
|
||||
<code>-L</code> option is also passed to the linker.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The gccgo compiler does not currently (2015-06-15) record
|
||||
the file name of imported packages in the object file. You must
|
||||
arrange for the imported data to be linked into the program.
|
||||
Again, this is not necessary when building with the go command.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
gccgo -c mypackage.go # Exports mypackage
|
||||
gccgo -c main.go # Imports mypackage
|
||||
gccgo -o main main.o mypackage.o # Explicitly links with mypackage.o
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="Debugging">Debugging</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you use the <code>-g</code> option when you compile, you can run
|
||||
<code>gdb</code> on your executable. The debugger has only limited
|
||||
knowledge about Go. You can set breakpoints, single-step,
|
||||
etc. You can print variables, but they will be printed as though they
|
||||
had C/C++ types. For numeric types this doesn't matter. Go strings
|
||||
and interfaces will show up as two-element structures. Go
|
||||
maps and channels are always represented as C pointers to run-time
|
||||
structures.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="C_Interoperability">C Interoperability</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
When using gccgo there is limited interoperability with C,
|
||||
or with C++ code compiled using <code>extern "C"</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="Types">Types</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Basic types map directly: an <code>int32</code> in Go is
|
||||
an <code>int32_t</code> in C, an <code>int64</code> is
|
||||
an <code>int64_t</code>, etc.
|
||||
The Go type <code>int</code> is an integer that is the same size as a
|
||||
pointer, and as such corresponds to the C type <code>intptr_t</code>.
|
||||
Go <code>byte</code> is equivalent to C <code>unsigned char</code>.
|
||||
Pointers in Go are pointers in C.
|
||||
A Go <code>struct</code> is the same as C <code>struct</code> with the
|
||||
same fields and types.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The Go <code>string</code> type is currently defined as a two-element
|
||||
structure (this is <b style="color: red;">subject to change</b>):
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
struct __go_string {
|
||||
const unsigned char *__data;
|
||||
intptr_t __length;
|
||||
};
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
You can't pass arrays between C and Go. However, a pointer to an
|
||||
array in Go is equivalent to a C pointer to the
|
||||
equivalent of the element type.
|
||||
For example, Go <code>*[10]int</code> is equivalent to C <code>int*</code>,
|
||||
assuming that the C pointer does point to 10 elements.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
A slice in Go is a structure. The current definition is
|
||||
(this is <b style="color: red;">subject to change</b>):
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
struct __go_slice {
|
||||
void *__values;
|
||||
intptr_t __count;
|
||||
intptr_t __capacity;
|
||||
};
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The type of a Go function is a pointer to a struct (this is
|
||||
<b style="color: red;">subject to change</b>). The first field in the
|
||||
struct points to the code of the function, which will be equivalent to
|
||||
a pointer to a C function whose parameter types are equivalent, with
|
||||
an additional trailing parameter. The trailing parameter is the
|
||||
closure, and the argument to pass is a pointer to the Go function
|
||||
struct.
|
||||
|
||||
When a Go function returns more than one value, the C function returns
|
||||
a struct. For example, these functions are roughly equivalent:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
func GoFunction(int) (int, float64)
|
||||
struct { int i; float64 f; } CFunction(int, void*)
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go <code>interface</code>, <code>channel</code>, and <code>map</code>
|
||||
types have no corresponding C type (<code>interface</code> is a
|
||||
two-element struct and <code>channel</code> and <code>map</code> are
|
||||
pointers to structs in C, but the structs are deliberately undocumented). C
|
||||
<code>enum</code> types correspond to some integer type, but precisely
|
||||
which one is difficult to predict in general; use a cast. C <code>union</code>
|
||||
types have no corresponding Go type. C <code>struct</code> types containing
|
||||
bitfields have no corresponding Go type. C++ <code>class</code> types have
|
||||
no corresponding Go type.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Memory allocation is completely different between C and Go, as Go uses
|
||||
garbage collection. The exact guidelines in this area are undetermined,
|
||||
but it is likely that it will be permitted to pass a pointer to allocated
|
||||
memory from C to Go. The responsibility of eventually freeing the pointer
|
||||
will remain with C side, and of course if the C side frees the pointer
|
||||
while the Go side still has a copy the program will fail. When passing a
|
||||
pointer from Go to C, the Go function must retain a visible copy of it in
|
||||
some Go variable. Otherwise the Go garbage collector may delete the
|
||||
pointer while the C function is still using it.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="Function_names">Function names</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go code can call C functions directly using a Go extension implemented
|
||||
in gccgo: a function declaration may be preceded by
|
||||
<code>//extern NAME</code>. For example, here is how the C function
|
||||
<code>open</code> can be declared in Go:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
//extern open
|
||||
func c_open(name *byte, mode int, perm int) int
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The C function naturally expects a NUL-terminated string, which in
|
||||
Go is equivalent to a pointer to an array (not a slice!) of
|
||||
<code>byte</code> with a terminating zero byte. So a sample call
|
||||
from Go would look like (after importing the <code>syscall</code> package):
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
var name = [4]byte{'f', 'o', 'o', 0};
|
||||
i := c_open(&name[0], syscall.O_RDONLY, 0);
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
(this serves as an example only, to open a file in Go please use Go's
|
||||
<code>os.Open</code> function instead).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Note that if the C function can block, such as in a call
|
||||
to <code>read</code>, calling the C function may block the Go program.
|
||||
Unless you have a clear understanding of what you are doing, all calls
|
||||
between C and Go should be implemented through cgo or SWIG, as for
|
||||
the <code>gc</code> compiler.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The name of Go functions accessed from C is subject to change. At present
|
||||
the name of a Go function that does not have a receiver is
|
||||
<code>prefix.package.Functionname</code>. The prefix is set by
|
||||
the <code>-fgo-prefix</code> option used when the package is compiled;
|
||||
if the option is not used, the default is <code>go</code>.
|
||||
To call the function from C you must set the name using
|
||||
a GCC extension.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
extern int go_function(int) __asm__ ("myprefix.mypackage.Function");
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="Automatic_generation_of_Go_declarations_from_C_source_code">
|
||||
Automatic generation of Go declarations from C source code</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The Go version of GCC supports automatically generating
|
||||
Go declarations from C code. The facility is rather awkward, and most
|
||||
users should use the <a href="/cmd/cgo">cgo</a> program with
|
||||
the <code>-gccgo</code> option instead.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Compile your C code as usual, and add the option
|
||||
<code>-fdump-go-spec=<var>FILENAME</var></code>. This will create the
|
||||
file <code><var>FILENAME</var></code> as a side effect of the
|
||||
compilation. This file will contain Go declarations for the types,
|
||||
variables and functions declared in the C code. C types that can not
|
||||
be represented in Go will be recorded as comments in the Go code. The
|
||||
generated file will not have a <code>package</code> declaration, but
|
||||
can otherwise be compiled directly by gccgo.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This procedure is full of unstated caveats and restrictions and we make no
|
||||
guarantee that it will not change in the future. It is more useful as a
|
||||
starting point for real Go code than as a regular procedure.

<h2 id="introduction">Introduction to Go 1.11</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The latest Go release, version 1.11, arrives six months after <a href="go1.10">Go 1.10</a>.
|
||||
Most of its changes are in the implementation of the toolchain, runtime, and libraries.
|
||||
As always, the release maintains the Go 1 <a href="/doc/go1compat.html">promise of compatibility</a>.
|
||||
We expect almost all Go programs to continue to compile and run as before.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="language">Changes to the language</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There are no changes to the language specification.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="ports">Ports</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> <!-- CL 94255, CL 115038, etc -->
|
||||
As <a href="go1.10#ports">announced in the Go 1.10 release notes</a>, Go 1.11 now requires
|
||||
OpenBSD 6.2 or later, macOS 10.10 Yosemite or later, or Windows 7 or later;
|
||||
support for previous versions of these operating systems has been removed.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p> <!-- CL 121657 -->
|
||||
Go 1.11 supports the upcoming OpenBSD 6.4 release. Due to changes in
|
||||
the OpenBSD kernel, older versions of Go will not work on OpenBSD 6.4.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There are <a href="https://golang.org/issue/25206">known issues</a> with NetBSD on i386 hardware.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 107935 -->
|
||||
The race detector is now supported on <code>linux/ppc64le</code>
|
||||
and, to a lesser extent, on <code>netbsd/amd64</code>. The NetBSD race detector support
|
||||
has <a href="https://golang.org/issue/26403">known issues</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 109255 -->
|
||||
The memory sanitizer (<code>-msan</code>) is now supported on <code>linux/arm64</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 93875 -->
|
||||
The build modes <code>c-shared</code> and <code>c-archive</code> are now supported on
|
||||
<code>freebsd/amd64</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p id="mips"><!-- CL 108475 -->
|
||||
On 64-bit MIPS systems, the new environment variable settings
|
||||
<code>GOMIPS64=hardfloat</code> (the default) and
|
||||
<code>GOMIPS64=softfloat</code> select whether to use
|
||||
hardware instructions or software emulation for floating-point computations.
|
||||
For 32-bit systems, the environment variable is still <code>GOMIPS</code>,
|
||||
as <a href="go1.10#mips">added in Go 1.10</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 107475 -->
|
||||
On soft-float ARM systems (<code>GOARM=5</code>), Go now uses a more
|
||||
efficient software floating point interface. This is transparent to
|
||||
Go code, but ARM assembly that uses floating-point instructions not
|
||||
guarded on GOARM will break and must be ported to
|
||||
the <a href="https://golang.org/cl/107475">new interface</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 94076 -->
|
||||
Go 1.11 on ARMv7 no longer requires a Linux kernel configured
|
||||
with <code>KUSER_HELPERS</code>. This setting is enabled in default
|
||||
kernel configurations, but is sometimes disabled in stripped-down
|
||||
configurations.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="wasm">WebAssembly</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go 1.11 adds an experimental port to <a href="https://webassembly.org">WebAssembly</a>
|
||||
(<code>js/wasm</code>).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go programs currently compile to one WebAssembly module that
|
||||
includes the Go runtime for goroutine scheduling, garbage
|
||||
collection, maps, etc.
|
||||
As a result, the resulting size is at minimum around
|
||||
2 MB, or 500 KB compressed. Go programs can call into JavaScript
|
||||
using the new experimental
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/syscall/js/"><code>syscall/js</code></a> package.
|
||||
Binary size and interop with other languages has not yet been a
|
||||
priority but may be addressed in future releases.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
As a result of the addition of the new <code>GOOS</code> value
|
||||
"<code>js</code>" and <code>GOARCH</code> value "<code>wasm</code>",
|
||||
Go files named <code>*_js.go</code> or <code>*_wasm.go</code> will
|
||||
now be <a href="/pkg/go/build/#hdr-Build_Constraints">ignored by Go
|
||||
tools</a> except when those GOOS/GOARCH values are being used.
|
||||
If you have existing filenames matching those patterns, you will need to rename them.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
More information can be found on the
|
||||
<a href="https://golang.org/wiki/WebAssembly">WebAssembly wiki page</a>.

|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="riscv">RISC-V GOARCH values reserved</h3>
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 106256 -->
|
||||
The main Go compiler does not yet support the RISC-V architecture <!-- is gonna change everything -->
|
||||
but we've reserved the <code>GOARCH</code> values
|
||||
"<code>riscv</code>" and "<code>riscv64</code>", as used by Gccgo,
|
||||
which does support RISC-V. This means that Go files
|
||||
named <code>*_riscv.go</code> will now also
|
||||
be <a href="/pkg/go/build/#hdr-Build_Constraints">ignored by Go
|
||||
tools</a> except when those GOOS/GOARCH values are being used.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="tools">Tools</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="modules">Modules, package versioning, and dependency management</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go 1.11 adds preliminary support for a <a href="/cmd/go/#hdr-Modules__module_versions__and_more">new concept called “modules,”</a>
|
||||
an alternative to GOPATH with integrated support for versioning and
|
||||
package distribution.
|
||||
Using modules, developers are no longer confined to working inside GOPATH,
|
||||
version dependency information is explicit yet lightweight,
|
||||
and builds are more reliable and reproducible.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Module support is considered experimental.
|
||||
Details are likely to change in response to feedback from Go 1.11 users,
|
||||
and we have more tools planned.
|
||||
Although the details of module support may change, projects that convert
|
||||
to modules using Go 1.11 will continue to work with Go 1.12 and later.
|
||||
If you encounter bugs using modules,
|
||||
please <a href="https://golang.org/issue/new">file issues</a>
|
||||
so we can fix them. For more information, see the
|
||||
<a href="/cmd/go#hdr-Modules__module_versions__and_more"><code>go</code> command documentation</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="importpath">Import path restriction</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Because Go module support assigns special meaning to the
|
||||
<code>@</code> symbol in command line operations,
|
||||
the <code>go</code> command now disallows the use of
|
||||
import paths containing <code>@</code> symbols.
|
||||
Such import paths were never allowed by <code>go</code> <code>get</code>,
|
||||
so this restriction can only affect users building
|
||||
custom GOPATH trees by other means.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="gopackages">Package loading</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The new package
|
||||
<a href="https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/go/packages"><code>golang.org/x/tools/go/packages</code></a>
|
||||
provides a simple API for locating and loading packages of Go source code.
|
||||
Although not yet part of the standard library, for many tasks it
|
||||
effectively replaces the <a href="/pkg/go/build"><code>go/build</code></a>
|
||||
package, whose API is unable to fully support modules.
|
||||
Because it runs an external query command such as
|
||||
<a href="/cmd/go/#hdr-List_packages"><code>go list</code></a>
|
||||
to obtain information about Go packages, it enables the construction of
|
||||
analysis tools that work equally well with alternative build systems
|
||||
such as <a href="https://bazel.build">Bazel</a>
|
||||
and <a href="https://buckbuild.com">Buck</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="gocache">Build cache requirement</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go 1.11 will be the last release to support setting the environment
|
||||
variable <code>GOCACHE=off</code> to disable the
|
||||
<a href="/cmd/go/#hdr-Build_and_test_caching">build cache</a>,
|
||||
introduced in Go 1.10.
|
||||
Starting in Go 1.12, the build cache will be required,
|
||||
as a step toward eliminating <code>$GOPATH/pkg</code>.
|
||||
The module and package loading support described above
|
||||
already require that the build cache be enabled.
|
||||
If you have disabled the build cache to avoid problems you encountered,
|
||||
please <a href="https://golang.org/issue/new">file an issue</a> to let us know about them.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="compiler">Compiler toolchain</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 109918 -->
|
||||
More functions are now eligible for inlining by default, including
|
||||
functions that call <code>panic</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 97375 -->
|
||||
The compiler toolchain now supports column information
|
||||
in <a href="/cmd/compile/#hdr-Compiler_Directives">line
|
||||
directives</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 106797 -->
|
||||
A new package export data format has been introduced.
|
||||
This should be transparent to end users, except for speeding up
|
||||
build times for large Go projects.
|
||||
If it does cause problems, it can be turned off again by
|
||||
passing <code>-gcflags=all=-iexport=false</code> to
|
||||
the <code>go</code> tool when building a binary.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 100459 -->
|
||||
The compiler now rejects unused variables declared in a type switch
|
||||
guard, such as <code>x</code> in the following example:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
func f(v interface{}) {
|
||||
switch x := v.(type) {
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This was already rejected by both <code>gccgo</code>
|
||||
and <a href="/pkg/go/types/">go/types</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="assembler">Assembler</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 113315 -->
|
||||
The assembler for <code>amd64</code> now accepts AVX512 instructions.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="debugging">Debugging</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 100738, CL 93664 -->
|
||||
The compiler now produces significantly more accurate debug
|
||||
information for optimized binaries, including variable location
|
||||
information, line numbers, and breakpoint locations.
|
||||
|
||||
This should make it possible to debug binaries
|
||||
compiled <em>without</em> <code>-N</code> <code>-l</code>.
|
||||
|
||||
There are still limitations to the quality of the debug information,
|
||||
some of which are fundamental, and some of which will continue to
|
||||
improve with future releases.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 118276 -->
|
||||
DWARF sections are now compressed by default because of the expanded
|
||||
and more accurate debug information produced by the compiler.
|
||||
|
||||
This is transparent to most ELF tools (such as debuggers on Linux
|
||||
and *BSD) and is supported by the Delve debugger on all platforms,
|
||||
but has limited support in the native tools on macOS and Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
To disable DWARF compression,
|
||||
pass <code>-ldflags=-compressdwarf=false</code> to
|
||||
the <code>go</code> tool when building a binary.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 109699 -->
|
||||
Go 1.11 adds experimental support for calling Go functions from
|
||||
within a debugger.
|
||||
|
||||
This is useful, for example, to call <code>String</code> methods
|
||||
when paused at a breakpoint.
|
||||
|
||||
This is currently only supported by Delve (version 1.1.0 and up).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="test">Test</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Since Go 1.10, the <code>go</code> <code>test</code> command runs
|
||||
<code>go</code> <code>vet</code> on the package being tested,
|
||||
to identify problems before running the test. Since <code>vet</code>
|
||||
typechecks the code with <a href="/pkg/go/types/">go/types</a>
|
||||
before running, tests that do not typecheck will now fail.
|
||||
|
||||
In particular, tests that contain an unused variable inside a
|
||||
closure compiled with Go 1.10, because the Go compiler incorrectly
|
||||
accepted them (<a href="https://golang.org/issues/3059">Issue #3059</a>),
|
||||
but will now fail, since <code>go/types</code> correctly reports an
|
||||
"unused variable" error in this case.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 102696 -->
|
||||
The <code>-memprofile</code> flag
|
||||
to <code>go</code> <code>test</code> now defaults to the
|
||||
"allocs" profile, which records the total bytes allocated since the
|
||||
test began (including garbage-collected bytes).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="vet">Vet</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 108555 -->
|
||||
The <a href="/cmd/vet/"><code>go</code> <code>vet</code></a>
|
||||
command now reports a fatal error when the package under analysis
|
||||
does not typecheck. Previously, a type checking error simply caused
|
||||
a warning to be printed, and <code>vet</code> to exit with status 1.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 108559 -->
|
||||
Additionally, <a href="/cmd/vet"><code>go</code> <code>vet</code></a>
|
||||
has become more robust when format-checking <code>printf</code> wrappers.
|
||||
Vet now detects the mistake in this example:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
func wrapper(s string, args ...interface{}) {
|
||||
fmt.Printf(s, args...)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func main() {
|
||||
wrapper("%s", 42)
|
||||
}
|
||||

|

With the new <code>runtime/trace</code>
|
||||
package's <a href="/pkg/runtime/trace/#hdr-User_annotation">user
|
||||
annotation API</a>, users can record application-level information
|
||||
in execution traces and create groups of related goroutines.
|
||||
The <code>go</code> <code>tool</code> <code>trace</code>
|
||||
command visualizes this information in the trace view and the new
|
||||
user task/region analysis page.

<h3 id="cgo">Cgo</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Since Go 1.10, cgo has translated some C pointer types to the Go
|
||||
type <code>uintptr</code>. These types include
|
||||
the <code>CFTypeRef</code> hierarchy in Darwin's CoreFoundation
|
||||
framework and the <code>jobject</code> hierarchy in Java's JNI
|
||||
interface. In Go 1.11, several improvements have been made to the code
|
||||
that detects these types. Code that uses these types may need some
|
||||
updating. See the <a href="go1.10.html#cgo">Go 1.10 release notes</a> for
|
||||
details. <!-- CL 126275, CL 127156, CL 122217, CL 122575, CL 123177 -->

<h3 id="go_command">Go command</h3>
|

|

<p><!-- CL 126656 -->
|
||||
The environment variable <code>GOFLAGS</code> may now be used
|
||||
to set default flags for the <code>go</code> command.
|
||||
This is useful in certain situations.
|
||||
Linking can be noticeably slower on underpowered systems due to DWARF,
|
||||
and users may want to set <code>-ldflags=-w</code> by default.
|
||||
For modules, some users and CI systems will want vendoring always,
|
||||
so they should set <code>-mod=vendor</code> by default.
|
||||
For more information, see the <a href="/cmd/go/#hdr-Environment_variables"><code>go</code>
|
||||
command documentation</a>.

|

<h3 id="godoc">Godoc</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go 1.11 will be the last release to support <code>godoc</code>'s command-line interface.
|
||||
In future releases, <code>godoc</code> will only be a web server. Users should use
|
||||
<code>go</code> <code>doc</code> for command-line help output instead.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 85396, CL 124495 -->
|
||||
The <code>godoc</code> web server now shows which version of Go introduced
|
||||
new API features. The initial Go version of types, funcs, and methods are shown
|
||||
right-aligned. For example, see <a href="/pkg/os/#UserCacheDir"><code>UserCacheDir</code></a>, with "1.11"
|
||||
on the right side. For struct fields, inline comments are added when the struct field was
|
||||
added in a Go version other than when the type itself was introduced.
|
||||
For a struct field example, see
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/http/httptrace/#ClientTrace.Got1xxResponse"><code>ClientTrace.Got1xxResponse</code></a>.

|

<h3 id="gofmt">Gofmt</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
One minor detail of the default formatting of Go source code has changed.
|
||||
When formatting expression lists with inline comments, the comments were
|
||||
aligned according to a heuristic.
|
||||
However, in some cases the alignment would be split up too easily, or
|
||||
introduce too much whitespace.
|
||||
The heuristic has been changed to behave better for human-written code.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Note that these kinds of minor updates to gofmt are expected from time to
|
||||
time.
|
||||
In general, systems that need consistent formatting of Go source code should
|
||||
use a specific version of the <code>gofmt</code> binary.
|
||||
See the <a href="/pkg/go/format/">go/format</a> package documentation for more
|
||||
information.

<p>
|

<!-- CL 109341 -->
|
||||
The <a href="/cmd/go/"><code>go</code> <code>run</code></a>
|
||||
command now allows a single import path, a directory name or a
|
||||
pattern matching a single package.
|
||||
This allows <code>go</code> <code>run</code> <code>pkg</code> or <code>go</code> <code>run</code> <code>dir</code>, most importantly <code>go</code> <code>run</code> <code>.</code>

</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="runtime">Runtime</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 85887 -->
|
||||
The runtime now uses a sparse heap layout so there is no longer a
|
||||
limit to the size of the Go heap (previously, the limit was 512GiB).
|
||||
This also fixes rare "address space conflict" failures in mixed Go/C
|
||||
binaries or binaries compiled with <code>-race</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 108679, CL 106156 -->
|
||||
On macOS and iOS, the runtime now uses <code>libSystem.dylib</code> instead of
|
||||
calling the kernel directly. This should make Go binaries more
|
||||
compatible with future versions of macOS and iOS.
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/syscall">syscall</a> package still makes direct
|
||||
system calls; fixing this is planned for a future release.

</p>

|

<h2 id="performance">Performance</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
As always, the changes are so general and varied that precise
|
||||
statements about performance are difficult to make. Most programs
|
||||
should run a bit faster, due to better generated code and
|
||||
optimizations in the core library.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 74851 -->
|
||||
There were multiple performance changes to the <code>math/big</code>
|

<h3 id="performance-compiler">Compiler toolchain</h3>
|

<p><!-- CL 110055 -->

The compiler now optimizes map clearing operations of the form:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<pre>
|

for k := range m {
|
||||
delete(m, k)
|
||||
}
|

</pre>
|

|

<p><!-- CL 109517 -->

The compiler now optimizes slice extension of the form

<code>append(s,</code> <code>make([]T,</code> <code>n)...)</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 100277, CL 105635, CL 109776 -->
|
||||
The compiler now performs significantly more aggressive bounds-check
|
||||
and branch elimination. Notably, it now recognizes transitive
|
||||
relations, so if <code>i<j</code> and <code>j<len(s)</code>,
|
||||
it can use these facts to eliminate the bounds check
|
||||
for <code>s[i]</code>. It also understands simple arithmetic such
|
||||
as <code>s[i-10]</code> and can recognize more inductive cases in
|
||||
loops. Furthermore, the compiler now uses bounds information to more
|
||||
aggressively optimize shift operations.

<h3 id="vet"><code>go tool vet</code> no longer supported</h3>

<p>

The <code>go vet</code> command has been rewritten to serve as the

base for a range of different source code analysis tools. See
|
||||
the <a href="https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/go/analysis">golang.org/x/tools/go/analysis</a>
|
||||
package for details. A side-effect is that <code>go tool vet</code>
|
||||
is no longer supported. External tools that use <code>go tool
|
||||
vet</code> must be changed to use <code>go
|
||||
vet</code>. Using <code>go vet</code> instead of <code>go tool
|
||||
vet</code> should work with all supported versions of Go.

When <code>GO111MODULE</code> is set to <code>on</code>, the <code>go</code>

command now supports module-aware operations outside of a module directory,
|
||||
provided that those operations do not need to resolve import paths relative to
|
||||
the current directory or explicitly edit the <code>go.mod</code> file.
|
||||
Commands such as <code>go</code> <code>get</code>,
|
||||
<code>go</code> <code>list</code>, and
|
||||
<code>go</code> <code>mod</code> <code>download</code> behave as if in a
|

module with initially-empty requirements.
|

In this mode, <code>go</code> <code>env</code> <code>GOMOD</code> reports

the system's null device (<code>/dev/null</code> or <code>NUL</code>).

<p><!-- CL 146382 -->
|

<code>go</code> commands that download and extract modules are now safe to

invoke concurrently.
|

The module cache (<code>GOPATH/pkg/mod</code>) must reside in a filesystem that

supports file locking.

</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 147282, 147281 -->
|
||||
The <code>go</code> directive in a <code>go.mod</code> file now indicates the
|
||||
version of the language used by the files within that module.
|
||||
It will be set to the current release
|
||||
(<code>go</code> <code>1.12</code>) if no existing version is
|
||||
present.
|
||||
If the <code>go</code> directive for a module specifies a
|
||||
version <em>newer</em> than the toolchain in use, the <code>go</code> command
|
||||
will attempt to build the packages regardless, and will note the mismatch only if
|
||||
that build fails.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><!-- CL 147282, 147281 -->
|

This changed use of the <code>go</code> directive means that if you
|
||||
use Go 1.12 to build a module, thus recording <code>go 1.12</code>
|
||||
in the <code>go.mod</code> file, you will get an error when
|
||||
attempting to build the same module with Go 1.11 through Go 1.11.3.
|
||||
Go 1.11.4 or later will work fine, as will releases older than Go 1.11.
|
||||
If you must use Go 1.11 through 1.11.3, you can avoid the problem by
|
||||
setting the language version to 1.11, using the Go 1.12 go tool,
|
||||
via <code>go mod edit -go=1.11</code>.

|

When an import cannot be resolved using the active modules,
|
||||
the <code>go</code> command will now try to use the modules mentioned in the
|
||||
main module's <code>replace</code> directives before consulting the module
|
||||
cache and the usual network sources.
|
||||
If a matching replacement is found but the <code>replace</code> directive does
|
||||
not specify a version, the <code>go</code> command uses a pseudo-version
|
||||
derived from the zero <code>time.Time</code> (such
|
||||
as <code>v0.0.0-00010101000000-000000000000</code>).

The compiler's live variable analysis has improved. This may mean that

Wrappers generated by the compiler to implement method expressions
|
||||
are no longer reported
|
||||
by <a href="/pkg/runtime/#CallersFrames"><code>runtime.CallersFrames</code></a>
|
||||
and <a href="/pkg/runtime/#Stack"><code>runtime.Stack</code></a>. They
|
||||
are also not printed in panic stack traces.
|
||||
|
||||
This change aligns the <code>gc</code> toolchain to match
|
||||
the <code>gccgo</code> toolchain, which already elided such wrappers
|
||||
from stack traces.
|
||||
|
||||
Clients of these APIs might need to adjust for the missing
|
||||
frames. For code that must interoperate between 1.11 and 1.12
|

releases, you can replace the method expression <code>x.M</code>
|

The compiler now accepts a <code>-lang</code> flag to set the Go language

version to use. For example, <code>-lang=go1.8</code> causes the compiler to

emit an error if the program uses type aliases, which were added in Go 1.9.

The compiler toolchain now uses different conventions to call Go

assembly <em>and</em> cross a package boundary. If linking results
|

in an error like "relocation target not defined for ABIInternal (but

maintenance has a small run-time overhead that varies but averages around 3%.

|

<h3 id="tls_1_3">TLS 1.3</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go 1.12 adds opt-in support for TLS 1.3 in the <code>crypto/tls</code> package as
|
||||
specified by <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8446">RFC 8446</a>. It can
|
||||
be enabled by adding the value <code>tls13=1</code> to the <code>GODEBUG</code>
|
||||
environment variable. It will be enabled by default in Go 1.13.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To negotiate TLS 1.3, make sure you do not set an explicit <code>MaxVersion</code> in
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/crypto/tls/#Config"><code>Config</code></a> and run your program with
|
||||
the environment variable <code>GODEBUG=tls13=1</code> set.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
All TLS 1.2 features except <code>TLSUnique</code> in
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/crypto/tls/#ConnectionState"><code>ConnectionState</code></a>
|
||||
and renegotiation are available in TLS 1.3 and provide equivalent or
|
||||
better security and performance. Note that even though TLS 1.3 is backwards
|
||||
compatible with previous versions, certain legacy systems might not work
|
||||
correctly when attempting to negotiate it. RSA certificate keys too small
|
||||
to be secure (including 512-bit keys) will not work with TLS 1.3.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
TLS 1.3 cipher suites are not configurable. All supported cipher suites are
|
||||
safe, and if <code>PreferServerCipherSuites</code> is set in
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/crypto/tls/#Config"><code>Config</code></a> the preference order
|
||||
is based on the available hardware.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Early data (also called "0-RTT mode") is not currently supported as a
|
||||
client or server. Additionally, a Go 1.12 server does not support skipping
|
||||
unexpected early data if a client sends it. Since TLS 1.3 0-RTT mode
|
||||
involves clients keeping state regarding which servers support 0-RTT,
|
||||
a Go 1.12 server cannot be part of a load-balancing pool where some other
|
||||
servers do support 0-RTT. If switching a domain from a server that supported
|
||||
0-RTT to a Go 1.12 server, 0-RTT would have to be disabled for at least the
|
||||
lifetime of the issued session tickets before the switch to ensure
|
||||
uninterrupted operation.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In TLS 1.3 the client is the last one to speak in the handshake, so if it causes
|
||||
an error to occur on the server, it will be returned on the client by the first
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/crypto/tls/#Conn.Read"><code>Read</code></a>, not by
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/crypto/tls/#Conn.Handshake"><code>Handshake</code></a>. For
|
||||
example, that will be the case if the server rejects the client certificate.
|
||||
Similarly, session tickets are now post-handshake messages, so are only
|
||||
received by the client upon its first
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/crypto/tls/#Conn.Read"><code>Read</code></a>.

to how it was in Go 1.9: each connection to a server can have up to <code>MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS</code> requests

active and then new TCP connections are created as needed. In Go 1.10 and Go 1.11 the <code>http2</code> package

would block and wait for requests to finish instead of creating new connections.

<p>
|

The latest Go release, version 1.14, arrives six months after <a href="go1.13">Go 1.13</a>.
|
||||
Most of its changes are in the implementation of the toolchain, runtime, and libraries.
|
||||
As always, the release maintains the Go 1 <a href="/doc/go1compat.html">promise of compatibility</a>.
|
||||
We expect almost all Go programs to continue to compile and run as before.

||||
Module support in the <code>go</code> command is now ready for production use,
|
||||
and we encourage all users to <a href="https://blog.golang.org/migrating-to-go-modules">migrate to Go
|
||||
modules for dependency management</a>. If you are unable to migrate due to a problem in the Go
|
||||
toolchain, please ensure that the problem has an
|
||||
<a href="https://golang.org/issue?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Amodules">open issue</a>
|
||||
filed. (If the issue is not on the <code>Go1.15</code> milestone, please let us

appropriately.)

Per the <a href="https://github.com/golang/proposal/blob/master/design/6977-overlapping-interfaces.md">overlapping interfaces proposal</a>,
|
||||
Go 1.14 now permits embedding of interfaces with overlapping method sets:
|
||||
methods from an embedded interface may have the same names and identical signatures
|
||||
as methods already present in the (embedding) interface. This solves problems that typically
|
||||
(but not exclusively) occur with diamond-shaped embedding graphs.
|
||||
Explicitly declared methods in an interface must remain
|
||||

When the main module contains a top-level <code>vendor</code> directory and

its <code>go.mod</code> file specifies <code>go</code> <code>1.14</code> or

higher, the <code>go</code> command now defaults to <code>-mod=vendor</code>

<code>-mod=mod</code>, causes the <code>go</code> command to instead load

The use of this flag makes it more likely that tests or other tools will

When module-aware mode is enabled explicitly (by setting

Goroutines are now asynchronously preemptible.

When converting <code>unsafe.Pointer</code> to <code>*T</code>,

|

|

<h2 id="introduction">Introduction to Go 1.2</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Since the release of <a href="/doc/go1.1.html">Go version 1.1</a> in April, 2013,
|
||||
the release schedule has been shortened to make the release process more efficient.
|
||||
This release, Go version 1.2 or Go 1.2 for short, arrives roughly six months after 1.1,
|
||||
while 1.1 took over a year to appear after 1.0.
|
||||
Because of the shorter time scale, 1.2 is a smaller delta than the step from 1.0 to 1.1,
|
||||
but it still has some significant developments, including
|
||||
a better scheduler and one new language feature.
|
||||
Of course, Go 1.2 keeps the <a href="/doc/go1compat.html">promise
|
||||
of compatibility</a>.
|
||||
The overwhelming majority of programs built with Go 1.1 (or 1.0 for that matter)
|
||||
will run without any changes whatsoever when moved to 1.2,
|
||||
although the introduction of one restriction
|
||||
to a corner of the language may expose already-incorrect code
|
||||
(see the discussion of the <a href="#use_of_nil">use of nil</a>).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="language">Changes to the language</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In the interest of firming up the specification, one corner case has been clarified,
|
||||
with consequences for programs.
|
||||
There is also one new language feature.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="use_of_nil">Use of nil</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The language now specifies that, for safety reasons,
|
||||
certain uses of nil pointers are guaranteed to trigger a run-time panic.
|
||||
For instance, in Go 1.0, given code like
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
type T struct {
|
||||
X [1<<24]byte
|
||||
Field int32
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func main() {
|
||||
var x *T
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
the <code>nil</code> pointer <code>x</code> could be used to access memory incorrectly:
|
||||
the expression <code>x.Field</code> could access memory at address <code>1<<24</code>.
|
||||
To prevent such unsafe behavior, in Go 1.2 the compilers now guarantee that any indirection through
|
||||
a nil pointer, such as illustrated here but also in nil pointers to arrays, nil interface values,
|
||||
nil slices, and so on, will either panic or return a correct, safe non-nil value.
|
||||
In short, any expression that explicitly or implicitly requires evaluation of a nil address is an error.
|
||||
The implementation may inject extra tests into the compiled program to enforce this behavior.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Further details are in the
|
||||
<a href="//golang.org/s/go12nil">design document</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>:
|
||||
Most code that depended on the old behavior is erroneous and will fail when run.
|
||||
Such programs will need to be updated by hand.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="three_index">Three-index slices</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go 1.2 adds the ability to specify the capacity as well as the length when using a slicing operation
|
||||
on an existing array or slice.
|
||||
A slicing operation creates a new slice by describing a contiguous section of an already-created array or slice:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
var array [10]int
|
||||
slice := array[2:4]
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The capacity of the slice is the maximum number of elements that the slice may hold, even after reslicing;
|
||||
it reflects the size of the underlying array.
|
||||
In this example, the capacity of the <code>slice</code> variable is 8.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go 1.2 adds new syntax to allow a slicing operation to specify the capacity as well as the length.
|
||||
A second
|
||||
colon introduces the capacity value, which must be less than or equal to the capacity of the
|
||||
source slice or array, adjusted for the origin. For instance,
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
slice = array[2:4:7]
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
sets the slice to have the same length as in the earlier example but its capacity is now only 5 elements (7-2).
|
||||
It is impossible to use this new slice value to access the last three elements of the original array.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In this three-index notation, a missing first index (<code>[:i:j]</code>) defaults to zero but the other
|
||||
two indices must always be specified explicitly.
|
||||
It is possible that future releases of Go may introduce default values for these indices.
|
||||

<a href="//golang.org/s/go12slice">design document</a>.
|

</p>
|

|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>:
|
||||
This is a backwards-compatible change that affects no existing programs.

<h2 id="impl">Changes to the implementations and tools</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="preemption">Pre-emption in the scheduler</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In prior releases, a goroutine that was looping forever could starve out other
|
||||
goroutines on the same thread, a serious problem when GOMAXPROCS
|
||||
provided only one user thread.
|
||||
In Go 1.2, this is partially addressed: The scheduler is invoked occasionally
|
||||
upon entry to a function.
|
||||
This means that any loop that includes a (non-inlined) function call can
|
||||
be pre-empted, allowing other goroutines to run on the same thread.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="thread_limit">Limit on the number of threads</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go 1.2 introduces a configurable limit (default 10,000) to the total number of threads
|
||||
a single program may have in its address space, to avoid resource starvation
|
||||
issues in some environments.
|
||||
Note that goroutines are multiplexed onto threads so this limit does not directly
|
||||
limit the number of goroutines, only the number that may be simultaneously blocked
|
||||
in a system call.
|
||||
In practice, the limit is hard to reach.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The new <a href="/pkg/runtime/debug/#SetMaxThreads"><code>SetMaxThreads</code></a> function in the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/runtime/debug/"><code>runtime/debug</code></a> package controls the thread count limit.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>:
|
||||
Few functions will be affected by the limit, but if a program dies because it hits the
|
||||
limit, it could be modified to call <code>SetMaxThreads</code> to set a higher count.
|
||||
Even better would be to refactor the program to need fewer threads, reducing consumption
|
||||
of kernel resources.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="stack_size">Stack size</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In Go 1.2, the minimum size of the stack when a goroutine is created has been lifted from 4KB to 8KB.
|
||||
Many programs were suffering performance problems with the old size, which had a tendency
|
||||
to introduce expensive stack-segment switching in performance-critical sections.
|
||||
The new number was determined by empirical testing.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
At the other end, the new function <a href="/pkg/runtime/debug/#SetMaxStack"><code>SetMaxStack</code></a>
|
||||
in the <a href="/pkg/runtime/debug"><code>runtime/debug</code></a> package controls
|
||||
the <em>maximum</em> size of a single goroutine's stack.
|
||||
The default is 1GB on 64-bit systems and 250MB on 32-bit systems.
|
||||
Before Go 1.2, it was too easy for a runaway recursion to consume all the memory on a machine.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>:
|
||||
The increased minimum stack size may cause programs with many goroutines to use
|
||||
more memory. There is no workaround, but plans for future releases
|
||||
include new stack management technology that should address the problem better.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="cgo_and_cpp">Cgo and C++</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <a href="/cmd/cgo/"><code>cgo</code></a> command will now invoke the C++
|
||||
compiler to build any pieces of the linked-to library that are written in C++;
|
||||
<a href="/cmd/cgo/">the documentation</a> has more detail.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="go_tools_godoc">Godoc and vet moved to the go.tools subrepository</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Both binaries are still included with the distribution, but the source code for the
|
||||
godoc and vet commands has moved to the
|
||||
<a href="//code.google.com/p/go.tools">go.tools</a> subrepository.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Also, the core of the godoc program has been split into a
|
||||
<a href="https://code.google.com/p/go/source/browse/?repo=tools#hg%2Fgodoc">library</a>,
|
||||
while the command itself is in a separate
|
||||
<a href="https://code.google.com/p/go/source/browse/?repo=tools#hg%2Fcmd%2Fgodoc">directory</a>.
|
||||
The move allows the code to be updated easily and the separation into a library and command
|
||||
makes it easier to construct custom binaries for local sites and different deployment methods.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>:
|
||||
Since godoc and vet are not part of the library,
|
||||
no client Go code depends on the their source and no updating is required.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The binary distributions available from <a href="//golang.org">golang.org</a>
|
||||
include these binaries, so users of these distributions are unaffected.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
When building from source, users must use "go get" to install godoc and vet.
|
||||
(The binaries will continue to be installed in their usual locations, not
|
||||
<code>$GOPATH/bin</code>.)
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ go get code.google.com/p/go.tools/cmd/godoc

</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="gccgo">Status of gccgo</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
We expect the future GCC 4.9 release to include gccgo with full
|
||||
support for Go 1.2.
|
||||
In the current (4.8.2) release of GCC, gccgo implements Go 1.1.2.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="gc_changes">Changes to the gc compiler and linker</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go 1.2 has several semantic changes to the workings of the gc compiler suite.
|
||||
Most users will be unaffected by them.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <a href="/cmd/cgo/"><code>cgo</code></a> command now
|
||||
works when C++ is included in the library being linked against.
|
||||
See the <a href="/cmd/cgo/"><code>cgo</code></a> documentation
|
||||
for details.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The gc compiler displayed a vestigial detail of its origins when
|
||||
a program had no <code>package</code> clause: it assumed
|
||||
the file was in package <code>main</code>.
|
||||
The past has been erased, and a missing <code>package</code> clause
|
||||
is now an error.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
On the ARM, the toolchain supports "external linking", which
|
||||
is a step towards being able to build shared libraries with the gc
|
||||
toolchain and to provide dynamic linking support for environments
|
||||
in which that is necessary.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In the runtime for the ARM, with <code>5a</code>, it used to be possible to refer
|
||||
to the runtime-internal <code>m</code> (machine) and <code>g</code>
|
||||
(goroutine) variables using <code>R9</code> and <code>R10</code> directly.
|
||||
It is now necessary to refer to them by their proper names.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Also on the ARM, the <code>5l</code> linker (sic) now defines the
|
||||
<code>MOVBS</code> and <code>MOVHS</code> instructions
|
||||
as synonyms of <code>MOVB</code> and <code>MOVH</code>,
|
||||
to make clearer the separation between signed and unsigned
|
||||
sub-word moves; the unsigned versions already existed with a
|
||||
<code>U</code> suffix.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="cover">Test coverage</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
One major new feature of <a href="/pkg/go/"><code>go test</code></a> is
|
||||
that it can now compute and, with help from a new, separately installed
|
||||
"go tool cover" program, display test coverage results.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The cover tool is part of the
|
||||
<a href="https://code.google.com/p/go/source/checkout?repo=tools"><code>go.tools</code></a>
|
||||
subrepository.
|
||||
It can be installed by running
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ go get code.google.com/p/go.tools/cmd/cover
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The cover tool does two things.
|
||||
First, when "go test" is given the <code>-cover</code> flag, it is run automatically
|
||||
to rewrite the source for the package and insert instrumentation statements.
|
||||
The test is then compiled and run as usual, and basic coverage statistics are reported:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ go test -cover fmt
|
||||
ok fmt 0.060s coverage: 91.4% of statements
|
||||
$
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Second, for more detailed reports, different flags to "go test" can create a coverage profile file,
|
||||
which the cover program, invoked with "go tool cover", can then analyze.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Details on how to generate and analyze coverage statistics can be found by running the commands
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ go help testflag
|
||||
$ go tool cover -help
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="go_doc">The go doc command is deleted</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The "go doc" command is deleted.
|
||||
Note that the <a href="/cmd/godoc/"><code>godoc</code></a> tool itself is not deleted,
|
||||
just the wrapping of it by the <a href="/cmd/go/"><code>go</code></a> command.
|
||||
All it did was show the documents for a package by package path,
|
||||
which godoc itself already does with more flexibility.
|
||||
It has therefore been deleted to reduce the number of documentation tools and,
|
||||
as part of the restructuring of godoc, encourage better options in future.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>: For those who still need the precise functionality of running
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ go doc
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
in a directory, the behavior is identical to running
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
$ godoc .
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="gocmd">Changes to the go command</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <a href="/cmd/go/"><code>go get</code></a> command
|
||||
now has a <code>-t</code> flag that causes it to download the dependencies
|
||||
of the tests run by the package, not just those of the package itself.
|
||||
By default, as before, dependencies of the tests are not downloaded.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="performance">Performance</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There are a number of significant performance improvements in the standard library; here are a few of them.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/compress/bzip2/"><code>compress/bzip2</code></a>
|
||||
decompresses about 30% faster.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/crypto/des/"><code>crypto/des</code></a> package
|
||||
is about five times faster.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/encoding/json/"><code>encoding/json</code></a> package
|
||||
encodes about 30% faster.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Networking performance on Windows and BSD systems is about 30% faster through the use
|
||||
of an integrated network poller in the runtime, similar to what was done for Linux and OS X
|
||||
in Go 1.1.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="library">Changes to the standard library</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="archive_tar_zip">The archive/tar and archive/zip packages</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/archive/tar/"><code>archive/tar</code></a>
|
||||
and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/archive/zip/"><code>archive/zip</code></a>
|
||||
packages have had a change to their semantics that may break existing programs.
|
||||
The issue is that they both provided an implementation of the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/os/#FileInfo"><code>os.FileInfo</code></a>
|
||||
interface that was not compliant with the specification for that interface.
|
||||
In particular, their <code>Name</code> method returned the full
|
||||
path name of the entry, but the interface specification requires that
|
||||
the method return only the base name (final path element).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>: Since this behavior was newly implemented and
|
||||
a bit obscure, it is possible that no code depends on the broken behavior.
|
||||
If there are programs that do depend on it, they will need to be identified
|
||||
and fixed manually.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="encoding">The new encoding package</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There is a new package, <a href="/pkg/encoding/"><code>encoding</code></a>,
|
||||
that defines a set of standard encoding interfaces that may be used to
|
||||
build custom marshalers and unmarshalers for packages such as
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/xml/"><code>encoding/xml</code></a>,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/json/"><code>encoding/json</code></a>,
|
||||
and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/binary/"><code>encoding/binary</code></a>.
|
||||
These new interfaces have been used to tidy up some implementations in
|
||||
the standard library.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The new interfaces are called
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/#BinaryMarshaler"><code>BinaryMarshaler</code></a>,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/#BinaryUnmarshaler"><code>BinaryUnmarshaler</code></a>,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/#TextMarshaler"><code>TextMarshaler</code></a>,
|
||||
and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/#TextUnmarshaler"><code>TextUnmarshaler</code></a>.
|
||||
Full details are in the <a href="/pkg/encoding/">documentation</a> for the package
|
||||
and a separate <a href="//golang.org/s/go12encoding">design document</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="fmt_indexed_arguments">The fmt package</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/fmt/"><code>fmt</code></a> package's formatted print
|
||||
routines such as <a href="/pkg/fmt/#Printf"><code>Printf</code></a>
|
||||
now allow the data items to be printed to be accessed in arbitrary order
|
||||
by using an indexing operation in the formatting specifications.
|
||||
Wherever an argument is to be fetched from the argument list for formatting,
|
||||
either as the value to be formatted or as a width or specification integer,
|
||||
a new optional indexing notation <code>[</code><em>n</em><code>]</code>
|
||||
fetches argument <em>n</em> instead.
|
||||
The value of <em>n</em> is 1-indexed.
|
||||
After such an indexing operating, the next argument to be fetched by normal
|
||||
processing will be <em>n</em>+1.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For example, the normal <code>Printf</code> call
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
fmt.Sprintf("%c %c %c\n", 'a', 'b', 'c')
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
would create the string <code>"a b c"</code>, but with indexing operations like this,
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
fmt.Sprintf("%[3]c %[1]c %c\n", 'a', 'b', 'c')
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
the result is "<code>"c a b"</code>. The <code>[3]</code> index accesses the third formatting
|
||||
argument, which is <code>'c'</code>, <code>[1]</code> accesses the first, <code>'a'</code>,
|
||||
and then the next fetch accesses the argument following that one, <code>'b'</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The motivation for this feature is programmable format statements to access
|
||||
the arguments in different order for localization, but it has other uses:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
log.Printf("trace: value %v of type %[1]T\n", expensiveFunction(a.b[c]))
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>: The change to the syntax of format specifications
|
||||
is strictly backwards compatible, so it affects no working programs.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="text_template">The text/template and html/template packages</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/text/template/"><code>text/template</code></a> package
|
||||
has a couple of changes in Go 1.2, both of which are also mirrored in the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/html/template/"><code>html/template</code></a> package.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
First, there are new default functions for comparing basic types.
|
||||
The functions are listed in this table, which shows their names and
|
||||
the associated familiar comparison operator.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<table cellpadding="0" summary="Template comparison functions">
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<th width="50"></th><th width="100">Name</th> <th width="50">Operator</th>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td></td><td><code>eq</code></td> <td><code>==</code></td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td></td><td><code>ne</code></td> <td><code>!=</code></td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td></td><td><code>lt</code></td> <td><code><</code></td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td></td><td><code>le</code></td> <td><code><=</code></td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td></td><td><code>gt</code></td> <td><code>></code></td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td></td><td><code>ge</code></td> <td><code>>=</code></td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
</table>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
These functions behave slightly differently from the corresponding Go operators.
|
||||
First, they operate only on basic types (<code>bool</code>, <code>int</code>,
|
||||
<code>float64</code>, <code>string</code>, etc.).
|
||||
(Go allows comparison of arrays and structs as well, under some circumstances.)
|
||||
Second, values can be compared as long as they are the same sort of value:
|
||||
any signed integer value can be compared to any other signed integer value for example. (Go
|
||||
does not permit comparing an <code>int8</code> and an <code>int16</code>).
|
||||
Finally, the <code>eq</code> function (only) allows comparison of the first
|
||||
argument with one or more following arguments. The template in this example,
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
{{"{{"}}if eq .A 1 2 3 {{"}}"}} equal {{"{{"}}else{{"}}"}} not equal {{"{{"}}end{{"}}"}}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
reports "equal" if <code>.A</code> is equal to <em>any</em> of 1, 2, or 3.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The second change is that a small addition to the grammar makes "if else if" chains easier to write.
|
||||
Instead of writing,
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
{{"{{"}}if eq .A 1{{"}}"}} X {{"{{"}}else{{"}}"}} {{"{{"}}if eq .A 2{{"}}"}} Y {{"{{"}}end{{"}}"}} {{"{{"}}end{{"}}"}}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
one can fold the second "if" into the "else" and have only one "end", like this:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
{{"{{"}}if eq .A 1{{"}}"}} X {{"{{"}}else if eq .A 2{{"}}"}} Y {{"{{"}}end{{"}}"}}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The two forms are identical in effect; the difference is just in the syntax.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>: Neither the "else if" change nor the comparison functions
|
||||
affect existing programs. Those that
|
||||
already define functions called <code>eq</code> and so on through a function
|
||||
map are unaffected because the associated function map will override the new
|
||||
default function definitions.
|
||||

<h3 id="new_packages">New packages</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There are two new packages.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/encoding/"><code>encoding</code></a> package is
|
||||
<a href="#encoding">described above</a>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/image/color/palette/"><code>image/color/palette</code></a> package
|
||||
provides standard color palettes.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="minor_library_changes">Minor changes to the library</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The following list summarizes a number of minor changes to the library, mostly additions.
|
||||
See the relevant package documentation for more information about each change.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/archive/zip/"><code>archive/zip</code></a> package
|
||||
adds the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/archive/zip/#File.DataOffset"><code>DataOffset</code></a> accessor
|
||||
to return the offset of a file's (possibly compressed) data within the archive.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/bufio/"><code>bufio</code></a> package
|
||||
adds <a href="/pkg/bufio/#Reader.Reset"><code>Reset</code></a>
|
||||
methods to <a href="/pkg/bufio/#Reader"><code>Reader</code></a> and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/bufio/#Writer"><code>Writer</code></a>.
|
||||
These methods allow the <a href="/pkg/io/#Reader"><code>Readers</code></a>
|
||||
and <a href="/pkg/io/#Writer"><code>Writers</code></a>
|
||||
to be re-used on new input and output readers and writers, saving
|
||||
allocation overhead.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/compress/bzip2/"><code>compress/bzip2</code></a>
|
||||
can now decompress concatenated archives.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/compress/flate/"><code>compress/flate</code></a>
|
||||
package adds a <a href="/pkg/compress/flate/#Writer.Reset"><code>Reset</code></a>
|
||||
method on the <a href="/pkg/compress/flate/#Writer"><code>Writer</code></a>,
|
||||
to make it possible to reduce allocation when, for instance, constructing an
|
||||
archive to hold multiple compressed files.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/compress/gzip/"><code>compress/gzip</code></a> package's
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/compress/gzip/#Writer"><code>Writer</code></a> type adds a
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/compress/gzip/#Writer.Reset"><code>Reset</code></a>
|
||||
so it may be reused.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/compress/zlib/"><code>compress/zlib</code></a> package's
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/compress/zlib/#Writer"><code>Writer</code></a> type adds a
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/compress/zlib/#Writer.Reset"><code>Reset</code></a>
|
||||
so it may be reused.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/container/heap/"><code>container/heap</code></a> package
|
||||
adds a <a href="/pkg/container/heap/#Fix"><code>Fix</code></a>
|
||||
method to provide a more efficient way to update an item's position in the heap.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/container/list/"><code>container/list</code></a> package
|
||||
adds the <a href="/pkg/container/list/#List.MoveBefore"><code>MoveBefore</code></a>
|
||||
and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/container/list/#List.MoveAfter"><code>MoveAfter</code></a>
|
||||
methods, which implement the obvious rearrangement.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/crypto/cipher/"><code>crypto/cipher</code></a> package
|
||||
adds the a new GCM mode (Galois Counter Mode), which is almost always
|
||||
used with AES encryption.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/crypto/md5/"><code>crypto/md5</code></a> package
|
||||
adds a new <a href="/pkg/crypto/md5/#Sum"><code>Sum</code></a> function
|
||||
to simplify hashing without sacrificing performance.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Similarly, the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/crypto/md5/"><code>crypto/sha1</code></a> package
|
||||
adds a new <a href="/pkg/crypto/sha1/#Sum"><code>Sum</code></a> function.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Also, the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/crypto/sha256/"><code>crypto/sha256</code></a> package
|
||||
adds <a href="/pkg/crypto/sha256/#Sum256"><code>Sum256</code></a>
|
||||
and <a href="/pkg/crypto/sha256/#Sum224"><code>Sum224</code></a> functions.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Finally, the <a href="/pkg/crypto/sha512/"><code>crypto/sha512</code></a> package
|
||||
adds <a href="/pkg/crypto/sha512/#Sum512"><code>Sum512</code></a> and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/crypto/sha512/#Sum384"><code>Sum384</code></a> functions.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/crypto/x509/"><code>crypto/x509</code></a> package
|
||||
adds support for reading and writing arbitrary extensions.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/crypto/tls/"><code>crypto/tls</code></a> package adds
|
||||
support for TLS 1.1, 1.2 and AES-GCM.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/database/sql/"><code>database/sql</code></a> package adds a
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/database/sql/#DB.SetMaxOpenConns"><code>SetMaxOpenConns</code></a>
|
||||
method on <a href="/pkg/database/sql/#DB"><code>DB</code></a> to limit the
|
||||
number of open connections to the database.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/encoding/csv/"><code>encoding/csv</code></a> package
|
||||
now always allows trailing commas on fields.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/encoding/gob/"><code>encoding/gob</code></a> package
|
||||
now treats channel and function fields of structures as if they were unexported,
|
||||
even if they are not. That is, it ignores them completely. Previously they would
|
||||
trigger an error, which could cause unexpected compatibility problems if an
|
||||
embedded structure added such a field.
|
||||
The package also now supports the generic <code>BinaryMarshaler</code> and
|
||||
<code>BinaryUnmarshaler</code> interfaces of the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/"><code>encoding</code></a> package
|
||||
described above.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/encoding/json/"><code>encoding/json</code></a> package
|
||||
now will always escape ampersands as "\u0026" when printing strings.
|
||||
It will now accept but correct invalid UTF-8 in
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/json/#Marshal"><code>Marshal</code></a>
|
||||
(such input was previously rejected).
|
||||
Finally, it now supports the generic encoding interfaces of the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/"><code>encoding</code></a> package
|
||||
described above.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/encoding/xml/"><code>encoding/xml</code></a> package
|
||||
now allows attributes stored in pointers to be marshaled.
|
||||
It also supports the generic encoding interfaces of the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/"><code>encoding</code></a> package
|
||||
described above through the new
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/xml/#Marshaler"><code>Marshaler</code></a>,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/xml/#Unmarshaler"><code>Unmarshaler</code></a>,
|
||||
and related
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/xml/#MarshalerAttr"><code>MarshalerAttr</code></a> and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/xml/#UnmarshalerAttr"><code>UnmarshalerAttr</code></a>
|
||||
interfaces.
|
||||
The package also adds a
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/xml/#Encoder.Flush"><code>Flush</code></a> method
|
||||
to the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/xml/#Encoder"><code>Encoder</code></a>
|
||||
type for use by custom encoders. See the documentation for
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/xml/#Encoder.EncodeToken"><code>EncodeToken</code></a>
|
||||
to see how to use it.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/flag/"><code>flag</code></a> package now
|
||||
has a <a href="/pkg/flag/#Getter"><code>Getter</code></a> interface
|
||||
to allow the value of a flag to be retrieved. Due to the
|
||||
Go 1 compatibility guidelines, this method cannot be added to the existing
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/flag/#Value"><code>Value</code></a>
|
||||
interface, but all the existing standard flag types implement it.
|
||||
The package also now exports the <a href="/pkg/flag/#CommandLine"><code>CommandLine</code></a>
|
||||
flag set, which holds the flags from the command line.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/go/ast/"><code>go/ast</code></a> package's
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/go/ast/#SliceExpr"><code>SliceExpr</code></a> struct
|
||||
has a new boolean field, <code>Slice3</code>, which is set to true
|
||||
when representing a slice expression with three indices (two colons).
|
||||
The default is false, representing the usual two-index form.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/go/build/"><code>go/build</code></a> package adds
|
||||
the <code>AllTags</code> field
|
||||
to the <a href="/pkg/go/build/#Package"><code>Package</code></a> type,
|
||||
to make it easier to process build tags.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/image/draw/"><code>image/draw</code></a> package now
|
||||
exports an interface, <a href="/pkg/image/draw/#Drawer"><code>Drawer</code></a>,
|
||||
that wraps the standard <a href="/pkg/image/draw/#Draw"><code>Draw</code></a> method.
|
||||
The Porter-Duff operators now implement this interface, in effect binding an operation to
|
||||
the draw operator rather than providing it explicitly.
|
||||
Given a paletted image as its destination, the new
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/image/draw/#FloydSteinberg"><code>FloydSteinberg</code></a>
|
||||
implementation of the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/image/draw/#Drawer"><code>Drawer</code></a>
|
||||
interface will use the Floyd-Steinberg error diffusion algorithm to draw the image.
|
||||
To create palettes suitable for such processing, the new
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/image/draw/#Quantizer"><code>Quantizer</code></a> interface
|
||||
represents implementations of quantization algorithms that choose a palette
|
||||
given a full-color image.
|
||||
There are no implementations of this interface in the library.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/image/gif/"><code>image/gif</code></a> package
|
||||
can now create GIF files using the new
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/image/gif/#Encode"><code>Encode</code></a>
|
||||
and <a href="/pkg/image/gif/#EncodeAll"><code>EncodeAll</code></a>
|
||||
functions.
|
||||
Their options argument allows specification of an image
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/image/draw/#Quantizer"><code>Quantizer</code></a> to use;
|
||||
if it is <code>nil</code>, the generated GIF will use the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/image/color/palette/#Plan9"><code>Plan9</code></a>
|
||||
color map (palette) defined in the new
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/image/color/palette/"><code>image/color/palette</code></a> package.
|
||||
The options also specify a
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/image/draw/#Drawer"><code>Drawer</code></a>
|
||||
to use to create the output image;
|
||||
if it is <code>nil</code>, Floyd-Steinberg error diffusion is used.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/io/#Copy"><code>Copy</code></a> method of the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/io/"><code>io</code></a> package now prioritizes its
|
||||
arguments differently.
|
||||
If one argument implements <a href="/pkg/io/#WriterTo"><code>WriterTo</code></a>
|
||||
and the other implements <a href="/pkg/io/#ReaderFrom"><code>ReaderFrom</code></a>,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/io/#Copy"><code>Copy</code></a> will now invoke
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/io/#WriterTo"><code>WriterTo</code></a> to do the work,
|
||||
so that less intermediate buffering is required in general.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/net/"><code>net</code></a> package requires cgo by default
|
||||
because the host operating system must in general mediate network call setup.
|
||||
On some systems, though, it is possible to use the network without cgo, and useful
|
||||
to do so, for instance to avoid dynamic linking.
|
||||
The new build tag <code>netgo</code> (off by default) allows the construction of a
|
||||
<code>net</code> package in pure Go on those systems where it is possible.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/net/"><code>net</code></a> package adds a new field
|
||||
<code>DualStack</code> to the <a href="/pkg/net/#Dialer"><code>Dialer</code></a>
|
||||
struct for TCP connection setup using a dual IP stack as described in
|
||||
<a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6555">RFC 6555</a>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/net/http/"><code>net/http</code></a> package will no longer
|
||||
transmit cookies that are incorrect according to
|
||||
<a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265">RFC 6265</a>.
|
||||
It just logs an error and sends nothing.
|
||||
Also,
|
||||
the <a href="/pkg/net/http/"><code>net/http</code></a> package's
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/http/#ReadResponse"><code>ReadResponse</code></a>
|
||||
function now permits the <code>*Request</code> parameter to be <code>nil</code>,
|
||||
whereupon it assumes a GET request.
|
||||
Finally, an HTTP server will now serve HEAD
|
||||
requests transparently, without the need for special casing in handler code.
|
||||
While serving a HEAD request, writes to a
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/http/#Handler"><code>Handler</code></a>'s
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/http/#ResponseWriter"><code>ResponseWriter</code></a>
|
||||
are absorbed by the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/http/#Server"><code>Server</code></a>
|
||||
and the client receives an empty body as required by the HTTP specification.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/os/exec/"><code>os/exec</code></a> package's
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/os/exec/#Cmd.StdinPipe"><code>Cmd.StdinPipe</code></a> method
|
||||
returns an <code>io.WriteCloser</code>, but has changed its concrete
|
||||
implementation from <code>*os.File</code> to an unexported type that embeds
|
||||
<code>*os.File</code>, and it is now safe to close the returned value.
|
||||
Before Go 1.2, there was an unavoidable race that this change fixes.
|
||||
Code that needs access to the methods of <code>*os.File</code> can use an
|
||||
interface type assertion, such as <code>wc.(interface{ Sync() error })</code>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/runtime/"><code>runtime</code></a> package relaxes
|
||||
the constraints on finalizer functions in
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/runtime/#SetFinalizer"><code>SetFinalizer</code></a>: the
|
||||
actual argument can now be any type that is assignable to the formal type of
|
||||
the function, as is the case for any normal function call in Go.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/sort/"><code>sort</code></a> package has a new
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/sort/#Stable"><code>Stable</code></a> function that implements
|
||||
stable sorting. It is less efficient than the normal sort algorithm, however.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/strings/"><code>strings</code></a> package adds
|
||||
an <a href="/pkg/strings/#IndexByte"><code>IndexByte</code></a>
|
||||
function for consistency with the <a href="/pkg/bytes/"><code>bytes</code></a> package.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/sync/atomic/"><code>sync/atomic</code></a> package
|
||||
adds a new set of swap functions that atomically exchange the argument with the
|
||||
value stored in the pointer, returning the old value.
|
||||
The functions are
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/sync/atomic/#SwapInt32"><code>SwapInt32</code></a>,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/sync/atomic/#SwapInt64"><code>SwapInt64</code></a>,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/sync/atomic/#SwapUint32"><code>SwapUint32</code></a>,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/sync/atomic/#SwapUint64"><code>SwapUint64</code></a>,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/sync/atomic/#SwapUintptr"><code>SwapUintptr</code></a>,
|
||||
and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/sync/atomic/#SwapPointer"><code>SwapPointer</code></a>,
|
||||
which swaps an <code>unsafe.Pointer</code>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/syscall/"><code>syscall</code></a> package now implements
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/syscall/#Sendfile"><code>Sendfile</code></a> for Darwin.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/testing/"><code>testing</code></a> package
|
||||
now exports the <a href="/pkg/testing/#TB"><code>TB</code></a> interface.
|
||||
It records the methods in common with the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/testing/#T"><code>T</code></a>
|
||||
and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/testing/#B"><code>B</code></a> types,
|
||||
to make it easier to share code between tests and benchmarks.
|
||||
Also, the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/testing/#AllocsPerRun"><code>AllocsPerRun</code></a>
|
||||
function now quantizes the return value to an integer (although it
|
||||
still has type <code>float64</code>), to round off any error caused by
|
||||
initialization and make the result more repeatable.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/text/template/"><code>text/template</code></a> package
|
||||
now automatically dereferences pointer values when evaluating the arguments
|
||||
to "escape" functions such as "html", to bring the behavior of such functions
|
||||
in agreement with that of other printing functions such as "printf".
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
In the <a href="/pkg/time/"><code>time</code></a> package, the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/time/#Parse"><code>Parse</code></a> function
|
||||
and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/time/#Time.Format"><code>Format</code></a>
|
||||
method
|
||||
now handle time zone offsets with seconds, such as in the historical
|
||||
date "1871-01-01T05:33:02+00:34:08".
|
||||
Also, pattern matching in the formats for those routines is stricter: a non-lowercase letter
|
||||
must now follow the standard words such as "Jan" and "Mon".
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/unicode/"><code>unicode</code></a> package
|
||||
adds <a href="/pkg/unicode/#In"><code>In</code></a>,
|
||||
a nicer-to-use but equivalent version of the original
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/unicode/#IsOneOf"><code>IsOneOf</code></a>,
|
||||
to see whether a character is a member of a Unicode category.
|
||||

<h2 id="introduction">Introduction to Go 1.3</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The latest Go release, version 1.3, arrives six months after 1.2,
|
||||
and contains no language changes.
|
||||
It focuses primarily on implementation work, providing
|
||||
precise garbage collection,
|
||||
a major refactoring of the compiler toolchain that results in
|
||||
faster builds, especially for large projects,
|
||||
significant performance improvements across the board,
|
||||
and support for DragonFly BSD, Solaris, Plan 9 and Google's Native Client architecture (NaCl).
|
||||
It also has an important refinement to the memory model regarding synchronization.
|
||||
As always, Go 1.3 keeps the <a href="/doc/go1compat.html">promise
|
||||
of compatibility</a>,
|
||||
and almost everything
|
||||
will continue to compile and run without change when moved to 1.3.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="os">Changes to the supported operating systems and architectures</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="win2000">Removal of support for Windows 2000</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 2000 in 2010.
|
||||
Since it has <a href="https://codereview.appspot.com/74790043">implementation difficulties</a>
|
||||
regarding exception handling (signals in Unix terminology),
|
||||
as of Go 1.3 it is not supported by Go either.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="dragonfly">Support for DragonFly BSD</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go 1.3 now includes experimental support for DragonFly BSD on the <code>amd64</code> (64-bit x86) and <code>386</code> (32-bit x86) architectures.
|
||||
It uses DragonFly BSD 3.6 or above.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="freebsd">Support for FreeBSD</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
It was not announced at the time, but since the release of Go 1.2, support for Go on FreeBSD
|
||||
requires FreeBSD 8 or above.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
As of Go 1.3, support for Go on FreeBSD requires that the kernel be compiled with the
|
||||
<code>COMPAT_FREEBSD32</code> flag configured.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In concert with the switch to EABI syscalls for ARM platforms, Go 1.3 will run only on FreeBSD 10.
|
||||
The x86 platforms, 386 and amd64, are unaffected.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="nacl">Support for Native Client</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Support for the Native Client virtual machine architecture has returned to Go with the 1.3 release.
|
||||
It runs on the 32-bit Intel architectures (<code>GOARCH=386</code>) and also on 64-bit Intel, but using
|
||||
32-bit pointers (<code>GOARCH=amd64p32</code>).
|
||||
There is not yet support for Native Client on ARM.
|
||||
Note that this is Native Client (NaCl), not Portable Native Client (PNaCl).
|
||||
Details about Native Client are <a href="https://developers.google.com/native-client/dev/">here</a>;
|
||||
how to set up the Go version is described <a href="//golang.org/wiki/NativeClient">here</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="netbsd">Support for NetBSD</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
As of Go 1.3, support for Go on NetBSD requires NetBSD 6.0 or above.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="openbsd">Support for OpenBSD</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
As of Go 1.3, support for Go on OpenBSD requires OpenBSD 5.5 or above.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="plan9">Support for Plan 9</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go 1.3 now includes experimental support for Plan 9 on the <code>386</code> (32-bit x86) architecture.
|
||||
It requires the <code>Tsemacquire</code> syscall, which has been in Plan 9 since June, 2012.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="solaris">Support for Solaris</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go 1.3 now includes experimental support for Solaris on the <code>amd64</code> (64-bit x86) architecture.
|
||||
It requires illumos, Solaris 11 or above.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="memory">Changes to the memory model</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The Go 1.3 memory model <a href="https://codereview.appspot.com/75130045">adds a new rule</a>
|
||||
concerning sending and receiving on buffered channels,
|
||||
to make explicit that a buffered channel can be used as a simple
|
||||
semaphore, using a send into the
|
||||
channel to acquire and a receive from the channel to release.
|
||||
This is not a language change, just a clarification about an expected property of communication.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="impl">Changes to the implementations and tools</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="stacks">Stack</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go 1.3 has changed the implementation of goroutine stacks away from the old,
|
||||
"segmented" model to a contiguous model.
|
||||
When a goroutine needs more stack
|
||||
than is available, its stack is transferred to a larger single block of memory.
|
||||
The overhead of this transfer operation amortizes well and eliminates the old "hot spot"
|
||||
problem when a calculation repeatedly steps across a segment boundary.
|
||||
Details including performance numbers are in this
|
||||
<a href="//golang.org/s/contigstacks">design document</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="garbage_collector">Changes to the garbage collector</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For a while now, the garbage collector has been <em>precise</em> when examining
|
||||
values in the heap; the Go 1.3 release adds equivalent precision to values on the stack.
|
||||
This means that a non-pointer Go value such as an integer will never be mistaken for a
|
||||
pointer and prevent unused memory from being reclaimed.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Starting with Go 1.3, the runtime assumes that values with pointer type
|
||||
contain pointers and other values do not.
|
||||
This assumption is fundamental to the precise behavior of both stack expansion
|
||||
and garbage collection.
|
||||
Programs that use <a href="/pkg/unsafe/">package unsafe</a>
|
||||
to store integers in pointer-typed values are illegal and will crash if the runtime detects the behavior.
|
||||
Programs that use <a href="/pkg/unsafe/">package unsafe</a> to store pointers
|
||||
in integer-typed values are also illegal but more difficult to diagnose during execution.
|
||||
Because the pointers are hidden from the runtime, a stack expansion or garbage collection
|
||||
may reclaim the memory they point at, creating
|
||||
<a href="//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangling_pointer">dangling pointers</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>: Code that uses <code>unsafe.Pointer</code> to convert
|
||||
an integer-typed value held in memory into a pointer is illegal and must be rewritten.
|
||||
Such code can be identified by <code>go vet</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="map">Map iteration</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Iterations over small maps no longer happen in a consistent order.
|
||||
Go 1 defines that “<a href="//golang.org/ref/spec#For_statements">The iteration order over maps
|
||||
is not specified and is not guaranteed to be the same from one iteration to the next.</a>”
|
||||
To keep code from depending on map iteration order,
|
||||
Go 1.0 started each map iteration at a random index in the map.
|
||||
A new map implementation introduced in Go 1.1 neglected to randomize
|
||||
iteration for maps with eight or fewer entries, although the iteration order
|
||||
can still vary from system to system.
|
||||
This has allowed people to write Go 1.1 and Go 1.2 programs that
|
||||
depend on small map iteration order and therefore only work reliably on certain systems.
|
||||
Go 1.3 reintroduces random iteration for small maps in order to flush out these bugs.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>: If code assumes a fixed iteration order for small maps,
|
||||
it will break and must be rewritten not to make that assumption.
|
||||
Because only small maps are affected, the problem arises most often in tests.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="liblink">The linker</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
As part of the general <a href="//golang.org/s/go13linker">overhaul</a> to
|
||||
the Go linker, the compilers and linkers have been refactored.
|
||||
The linker is still a C program, but now the instruction selection phase that
|
||||
was part of the linker has been moved to the compiler through the creation of a new
|
||||
library called <code>liblink</code>.
|
||||
By doing instruction selection only once, when the package is first compiled,
|
||||
this can speed up compilation of large projects significantly.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>: Although this is a major internal change, it should have no
|
||||
effect on programs.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="gccgo">Status of gccgo</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
GCC release 4.9 will contain the Go 1.2 (not 1.3) version of gccgo.
|
||||
The release schedules for the GCC and Go projects do not coincide,
|
||||
which means that 1.3 will be available in the development branch but
|
||||
that the next GCC release, 4.10, will likely have the Go 1.4 version of gccgo.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="gocmd">Changes to the go command</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <a href="/cmd/go/"><code>cmd/go</code></a> command has several new
|
||||
features.
|
||||
The <a href="/cmd/go/"><code>go run</code></a> and
|
||||
<a href="/cmd/go/"><code>go test</code></a> subcommands
|
||||
support a new <code>-exec</code> option to specify an alternate
|
||||
way to run the resulting binary.
|
||||
Its immediate purpose is to support NaCl.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The test coverage support of the <a href="/cmd/go/"><code>go test</code></a>
|
||||
subcommand now automatically sets the coverage mode to <code>-atomic</code>
|
||||
when the race detector is enabled, to eliminate false reports about unsafe
|
||||
access to coverage counters.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <a href="/cmd/go/"><code>go test</code></a> subcommand
|
||||
now always builds the package, even if it has no test files.
|
||||
Previously, it would do nothing if no test files were present.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <a href="/cmd/go/"><code>go build</code></a> subcommand
|
||||
supports a new <code>-i</code> option to install dependencies
|
||||
of the specified target, but not the target itself.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Cross compiling with <a href="/cmd/cgo/"><code>cgo</code></a> enabled
|
||||
is now supported.
|
||||
The CC_FOR_TARGET and CXX_FOR_TARGET environment
|
||||
variables are used when running all.bash to specify the cross compilers
|
||||
for C and C++ code, respectively.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Finally, the go command now supports packages that import Objective-C
|
||||
files (suffixed <code>.m</code>) through cgo.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="cgo">Changes to cgo</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <a href="/cmd/cgo/"><code>cmd/cgo</code></a> command,
|
||||
which processes <code>import "C"</code> declarations in Go packages,
|
||||
has corrected a serious bug that may cause some packages to stop compiling.
|
||||
Previously, all pointers to incomplete struct types translated to the Go type <code>*[0]byte</code>,
|
||||
with the effect that the Go compiler could not diagnose passing one kind of struct pointer
|
||||
to a function expecting another.
|
||||
Go 1.3 corrects this mistake by translating each different
|
||||
incomplete struct to a different named type.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Given the C declaration <code>typedef struct S T</code> for an incomplete <code>struct S</code>,
|
||||
some Go code used this bug to refer to the types <code>C.struct_S</code> and <code>C.T</code> interchangeably.
|
||||
Cgo now explicitly allows this use, even for completed struct types.
|
||||
However, some Go code also used this bug to pass (for example) a <code>*C.FILE</code>
|
||||
from one package to another.
|
||||
This is not legal and no longer works: in general Go packages
|
||||
should avoid exposing C types and names in their APIs.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>: Code confusing pointers to incomplete types or
|
||||
passing them across package boundaries will no longer compile
|
||||
and must be rewritten.
|
||||
If the conversion is correct and must be preserved,
|
||||
use an explicit conversion via <a href="/pkg/unsafe/#Pointer"><code>unsafe.Pointer</code></a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="swig">SWIG 3.0 required for programs that use SWIG</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For Go programs that use SWIG, SWIG version 3.0 is now required.
|
||||
The <a href="/cmd/go"><code>cmd/go</code></a> command will now link the
|
||||
SWIG generated object files directly into the binary, rather than
|
||||
building and linking with a shared library.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="gc_flag">Command-line flag parsing</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In the gc toolchain, the assemblers now use the
|
||||
same command-line flag parsing rules as the Go flag package, a departure
|
||||
from the traditional Unix flag parsing.
|
||||
This may affect scripts that invoke the tool directly.
|
||||
For example,
|
||||
<code>go tool 6a -SDfoo</code> must now be written
|
||||
<code>go tool 6a -S -D foo</code>.
|
||||
(The same change was made to the compilers and linkers in <a href="/doc/go1.1#gc_flag">Go 1.1</a>.)
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="godoc">Changes to godoc</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
When invoked with the <code>-analysis</code> flag,
|
||||
<a href="//godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/godoc">godoc</a>
|
||||
now performs sophisticated <a href="/lib/godoc/analysis/help.html">static
|
||||
analysis</a> of the code it indexes.
|
||||
The results of analysis are presented in both the source view and the
|
||||
package documentation view, and include the call graph of each package
|
||||
and the relationships between
|
||||
definitions and references,
|
||||
types and their methods,
|
||||
interfaces and their implementations,
|
||||
send and receive operations on channels,
|
||||
functions and their callers, and
|
||||
call sites and their callees.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="misc">Miscellany</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The program <code>misc/benchcmp</code> that compares
|
||||
performance across benchmarking runs has been rewritten.
|
||||
Once a shell and awk script in the main repository, it is now a Go program in the <code>go.tools</code> repo.
|
||||
Documentation is <a href="//godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/benchcmp">here</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For the few of us that build Go distributions, the tool <code>misc/dist</code> has been
|
||||
moved and renamed; it now lives in <code>misc/makerelease</code>, still in the main repository.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="performance">Performance</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The performance of Go binaries for this release has improved in many cases due to changes
|
||||
in the runtime and garbage collection, plus some changes to libraries.
|
||||
Significant instances include:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The runtime handles defers more efficiently, reducing the memory footprint by about two kilobytes
|
||||
per goroutine that calls defer.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The garbage collector has been sped up, using a concurrent sweep algorithm,
|
||||
better parallelization, and larger pages.
|
||||
The cumulative effect can be a 50-70% reduction in collector pause time.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The race detector (see <a href="/doc/articles/race_detector.html">this guide</a>)
|
||||
is now about 40% faster.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The regular expression package <a href="/pkg/regexp/"><code>regexp</code></a>
|
||||
is now significantly faster for certain simple expressions due to the implementation of
|
||||
a second, one-pass execution engine.
|
||||
The choice of which engine to use is automatic;
|
||||
the details are hidden from the user.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Also, the runtime now includes in stack dumps how long a goroutine has been blocked,
|
||||
which can be useful information when debugging deadlocks or performance issues.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="library">Changes to the standard library</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="new_packages">New packages</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
A new package <a href="/pkg/debug/plan9obj/"><code>debug/plan9obj</code></a> was added to the standard library.
|
||||
It implements access to Plan 9 <a href="https://9p.io/magic/man2html/6/a.out">a.out</a> object files.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="major_library_changes">Major changes to the library</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
A previous bug in <a href="/pkg/crypto/tls/"><code>crypto/tls</code></a>
|
||||
made it possible to skip verification in TLS inadvertently.
|
||||
In Go 1.3, the bug is fixed: one must specify either ServerName or
|
||||
InsecureSkipVerify, and if ServerName is specified it is enforced.
|
||||
This may break existing code that incorrectly depended on insecure
|
||||
behavior.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There is an important new type added to the standard library: <a href="/pkg/sync/#Pool"><code>sync.Pool</code></a>.
|
||||
It provides an efficient mechanism for implementing certain types of caches whose memory
|
||||
can be reclaimed automatically by the system.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/testing/"><code>testing</code></a> package's benchmarking helper,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/testing/#B"><code>B</code></a>, now has a
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/testing/#B.RunParallel"><code>RunParallel</code></a> method
|
||||
to make it easier to run benchmarks that exercise multiple CPUs.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>: The crypto/tls fix may break existing code, but such
|
||||
code was erroneous and should be updated.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="minor_library_changes">Minor changes to the library</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The following list summarizes a number of minor changes to the library, mostly additions.
|
||||
See the relevant package documentation for more information about each change.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li> In the <a href="/pkg/crypto/tls/"><code>crypto/tls</code></a> package,
|
||||
a new <a href="/pkg/crypto/tls/#DialWithDialer"><code>DialWithDialer</code></a>
|
||||
function lets one establish a TLS connection using an existing dialer, making it easier
|
||||
to control dial options such as timeouts.
|
||||
The package also now reports the TLS version used by the connection in the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/crypto/tls/#ConnectionState"><code>ConnectionState</code></a>
|
||||
struct.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li> The <a href="/pkg/crypto/x509/#CreateCertificate"><code>CreateCertificate</code></a>
|
||||
function of the <a href="/pkg/crypto/tls/"><code>crypto/tls</code></a> package
|
||||
now supports parsing (and elsewhere, serialization) of PKCS #10 certificate
|
||||
signature requests.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The formatted print functions of the <code>fmt</code> package now define <code>%F</code>
|
||||
as a synonym for <code>%f</code> when printing floating-point values.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/math/big/"><code>math/big</code></a> package's
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/math/big/#Int"><code>Int</code></a> and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/math/big/#Rat"><code>Rat</code></a> types
|
||||
now implement
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/#TextMarshaler"><code>encoding.TextMarshaler</code></a> and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/#TextUnmarshaler"><code>encoding.TextUnmarshaler</code></a>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The complex power function, <a href="/pkg/math/cmplx/#Pow"><code>Pow</code></a>,
|
||||
now specifies the behavior when the first argument is zero.
|
||||
It was undefined before.
|
||||
The details are in the <a href="/pkg/math/cmplx/#Pow">documentation for the function</a>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/net/http/"><code>net/http</code></a> package now exposes the
|
||||
properties of a TLS connection used to make a client request in the new
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/http/#Response"><code>Response.TLS</code></a> field.

The <a href="/pkg/net/http/"><code>net/http</code></a> package now
|

allows setting an optional server error logger
|

supports disabling HTTP keep-alive connections on the server
|

with <a href="/pkg/net/http/#Server.SetKeepAlivesEnabled"><code>Server.SetKeepAlivesEnabled</code></a>.
|
||||
The default continues to be that the server does keep-alive (reuses

connections for multiple requests) by default.
|

Only resource-constrained servers or those in the process of graceful

setting to cap the amount of time HTTP client requests will wait for
|

|
||||
Other <a href="/pkg/net/http/#Transport"><code>Transport</code></a>

</li>
|
||||
|

<li>
|

The <a href="/pkg/net/http/"><code>net/http</code></a> package
|

<li>
|

The <a href="/pkg/net/http/"><code>net/http</code></a> package now

optional <a href="/pkg/net/http/#Server"><code>Server.ConnState</code></a>
|

callback to hook various phases of a server connection's lifecycle
|

(see <a href="/pkg/net/http/#ConnState"><code>ConnState</code></a>).
|

This can be used to implement rate limiting or graceful shutdown.

<li>
|

The <a href="/pkg/net/http/"><code>net/http</code></a> package's HTTP

method will now return an error if the body's <code>Content-Type</code>
|

is not <code>multipart/form-data</code>.
|

Prior to Go 1.3 it would silently fail and return <code>nil</code>.

The <a href="/pkg/os/exec/"><code>os/exec</code></a> package now implements

and all other goroutines finish execution, the program now always crashes,
|

reporting a detected deadlock.

Earlier versions of Go handled this situation inconsistently: most instances

were reported as deadlocks, but some trivial cases exited cleanly instead.
|

<li>
|

The runtime/debug package now has a new function

The <a href="/pkg/strconv/#CanBackquote"><code>CanBackquote</code></a>

non-printing.

as an alternate version of

<h2 id="introduction">Introduction to Go 1.4</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The latest Go release, version 1.4, arrives as scheduled six months after 1.3.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
It contains only one tiny language change,
|
||||
in the form of a backwards-compatible simple variant of <code>for</code>-<code>range</code> loop,
|
||||
and a possibly breaking change to the compiler involving methods on pointers-to-pointers.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The release focuses primarily on implementation work, improving the garbage collector
|
||||
and preparing the ground for a fully concurrent collector to be rolled out in the
|
||||
next few releases.
|
||||
Stacks are now contiguous, reallocated when necessary rather than linking on new
|
||||
"segments";
|
||||
this release therefore eliminates the notorious "hot stack split" problem.
|
||||
There are some new tools available including support in the <code>go</code> command
|
||||
for build-time source code generation.
|
||||
The release also adds support for ARM processors on Android and Native Client (NaCl)
|
||||
and for AMD64 on Plan 9.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
As always, Go 1.4 keeps the <a href="/doc/go1compat.html">promise
|
||||
of compatibility</a>,
|
||||
and almost everything
|
||||
will continue to compile and run without change when moved to 1.4.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="language">Changes to the language</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="forrange">For-range loops</h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Up until Go 1.3, <code>for</code>-<code>range</code> loop had two forms
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
for i, v := range x {
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
and
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
for i := range x {
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If one was not interested in the loop values, only the iteration itself, it was still
|
||||
necessary to mention a variable (probably the <a href="/ref/spec#Blank_identifier">blank identifier</a>, as in
|
||||
<code>for</code> <code>_</code> <code>=</code> <code>range</code> <code>x</code>), because
|
||||
the form
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
for range x {
|
||||
...
|
||||
}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
was not syntactically permitted.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This situation seemed awkward, so as of Go 1.4 the variable-free form is now legal.
|
||||
The pattern arises rarely but the code can be cleaner when it does.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>: The change is strictly backwards compatible to existing Go
|
||||
programs, but tools that analyze Go parse trees may need to be modified to accept
|
||||
this new form as the
|
||||
<code>Key</code> field of <a href="/pkg/go/ast/#RangeStmt"><code>RangeStmt</code></a>
|
||||
may now be <code>nil</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="methodonpointertopointer">Method calls on **T</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Given these declarations,
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
type T int
|
||||
func (T) M() {}
|
||||
var x **T
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
both <code>gc</code> and <code>gccgo</code> accepted the method call
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
x.M()
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
which is a double dereference of the pointer-to-pointer <code>x</code>.
|
||||
The Go specification allows a single dereference to be inserted automatically,
|
||||
but not two, so this call is erroneous according to the language definition.
|
||||
It has therefore been disallowed in Go 1.4, which is a breaking change,
|
||||
although very few programs will be affected.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>: Code that depends on the old, erroneous behavior will no longer
|
||||
compile but is easy to fix by adding an explicit dereference.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="os">Changes to the supported operating systems and architectures</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="android">Android</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go 1.4 can build binaries for ARM processors running the Android operating system.
|
||||
It can also build a <code>.so</code> library that can be loaded by an Android application
|
||||
using the supporting packages in the <a href="https://golang.org/x/mobile">mobile</a> subrepository.
|
||||
A brief description of the plans for this experimental port are available
|
||||
<a href="https://golang.org/s/go14android">here</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="naclarm">NaCl on ARM</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The previous release introduced Native Client (NaCl) support for the 32-bit x86
|
||||
(<code>GOARCH=386</code>)
|
||||
and 64-bit x86 using 32-bit pointers (GOARCH=amd64p32).
|
||||
The 1.4 release adds NaCl support for ARM (GOARCH=arm).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="plan9amd64">Plan9 on AMD64</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This release adds support for the Plan 9 operating system on AMD64 processors,
|
||||
provided the kernel supports the <code>nsec</code> system call and uses 4K pages.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="compatibility">Changes to the compatibility guidelines</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/unsafe/"><code>unsafe</code></a> package allows one
|
||||
to defeat Go's type system by exploiting internal details of the implementation
|
||||
or machine representation of data.
|
||||
It was never explicitly specified what use of <code>unsafe</code> meant
|
||||
with respect to compatibility as specified in the
|
||||
<a href="go1compat.html">Go compatibility guidelines</a>.
|
||||
The answer, of course, is that we can make no promise of compatibility
|
||||
for code that does unsafe things.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
We have clarified this situation in the documentation included in the release.
|
||||
The <a href="go1compat.html">Go compatibility guidelines</a> and the
|
||||
docs for the <a href="/pkg/unsafe/"><code>unsafe</code></a> package
|
||||
are now explicit that unsafe code is not guaranteed to remain compatible.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>: Nothing technical has changed; this is just a clarification
|
||||
of the documentation.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="impl">Changes to the implementations and tools</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="runtime">Changes to the runtime</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Prior to Go 1.4, the runtime (garbage collector, concurrency support, interface management,
|
||||
maps, slices, strings, ...) was mostly written in C, with some assembler support.
|
||||
In 1.4, much of the code has been translated to Go so that the garbage collector can scan
|
||||
the stacks of programs in the runtime and get accurate information about what variables
|
||||
are active.
|
||||
This change was large but should have no semantic effect on programs.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This rewrite allows the garbage collector in 1.4 to be fully precise,
|
||||
meaning that it is aware of the location of all active pointers in the program.
|
||||
This means the heap will be smaller as there will be no false positives keeping non-pointers alive.
|
||||
Other related changes also reduce the heap size, which is smaller by 10%-30% overall
|
||||
relative to the previous release.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
A consequence is that stacks are no longer segmented, eliminating the "hot split" problem.
|
||||
When a stack limit is reached, a new, larger stack is allocated, all active frames for
|
||||
the goroutine are copied there, and any pointers into the stack are updated.
|
||||
Performance can be noticeably better in some cases and is always more predictable.
|
||||
Details are available in <a href="https://golang.org/s/contigstacks">the design document</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The use of contiguous stacks means that stacks can start smaller without triggering performance issues,
|
||||
so the default starting size for a goroutine's stack in 1.4 has been reduced from 8192 bytes to 2048 bytes.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
As preparation for the concurrent garbage collector scheduled for the 1.5 release,
|
||||
writes to pointer values in the heap are now done by a function call,
|
||||
called a write barrier, rather than directly from the function updating the value.
|
||||
In this next release, this will permit the garbage collector to mediate writes to the heap while it is running.
|
||||
This change has no semantic effect on programs in 1.4, but was
|
||||
included in the release to test the compiler and the resulting performance.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The implementation of interface values has been modified.
|
||||
In earlier releases, the interface contained a word that was either a pointer or a one-word
|
||||
scalar value, depending on the type of the concrete object stored.
|
||||
This implementation was problematical for the garbage collector,
|
||||
so as of 1.4 interface values always hold a pointer.
|
||||
In running programs, most interface values were pointers anyway,
|
||||
so the effect is minimal, but programs that store integers (for example) in
|
||||
interfaces will see more allocations.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
As of Go 1.3, the runtime crashes if it finds a memory word that should contain
|
||||
a valid pointer but instead contains an obviously invalid pointer (for example, the value 3).
|
||||
Programs that store integers in pointer values may run afoul of this check and crash.
|
||||
In Go 1.4, setting the <a href="/pkg/runtime/"><code>GODEBUG</code></a> variable
|
||||
<code>invalidptr=0</code> disables
|
||||
the crash as a workaround, but we cannot guarantee that future releases will be
|
||||
able to avoid the crash; the correct fix is to rewrite code not to alias integers and pointers.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="asm">Assembly</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The language accepted by the assemblers <code>cmd/5a</code>, <code>cmd/6a</code>
|
||||
and <code>cmd/8a</code> has had several changes,
|
||||
mostly to make it easier to deliver type information to the runtime.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
First, the <code>textflag.h</code> file that defines flags for <code>TEXT</code> directives
|
||||
has been copied from the linker source directory to a standard location so it can be
|
||||
included with the simple directive
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
#include "textflag.h"
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The more important changes are in how assembler source can define the necessary
|
||||
type information.
|
||||
For most programs it will suffice to move data
|
||||
definitions (<code>DATA</code> and <code>GLOBL</code> directives)
|
||||
out of assembly into Go files
|
||||
and to write a Go declaration for each assembly function.
|
||||
The <a href="/doc/asm#runtime">assembly document</a> describes what to do.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>:
|
||||
Assembly files that include <code>textflag.h</code> from its old
|
||||
location will still work, but should be updated.
|
||||
For the type information, most assembly routines will need no change,
|
||||
but all should be examined.
|
||||
Assembly source files that define data,
|
||||
functions with non-empty stack frames, or functions that return pointers
|
||||
need particular attention.
|
||||
A description of the necessary (but simple) changes
|
||||
is in the <a href="/doc/asm#runtime">assembly document</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
More information about these changes is in the <a href="/doc/asm">assembly document</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="gccgo">Status of gccgo</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The release schedules for the GCC and Go projects do not coincide.
|
||||
GCC release 4.9 contains the Go 1.2 version of gccgo.
|
||||
The next release, GCC 5, will likely have the Go 1.4 version of gccgo.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="internalpackages">Internal packages</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go's package system makes it easy to structure programs into components with clean boundaries,
|
||||
but there are only two forms of access: local (unexported) and global (exported).
|
||||
Sometimes one wishes to have components that are not exported,
|
||||
for instance to avoid acquiring clients of interfaces to code that is part of a public repository
|
||||
but not intended for use outside the program to which it belongs.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The Go language does not have the power to enforce this distinction, but as of Go 1.4 the
|
||||
<a href="/cmd/go/"><code>go</code></a> command introduces
|
||||
a mechanism to define "internal" packages that may not be imported by packages outside
|
||||
the source subtree in which they reside.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To create such a package, place it in a directory named <code>internal</code> or in a subdirectory of a directory
|
||||
named internal.
|
||||
When the <code>go</code> command sees an import of a package with <code>internal</code> in its path,
|
||||
it verifies that the package doing the import
|
||||
is within the tree rooted at the parent of the <code>internal</code> directory.
|
||||
For example, a package <code>.../a/b/c/internal/d/e/f</code>
|
||||
can be imported only by code in the directory tree rooted at <code>.../a/b/c</code>.
|
||||
It cannot be imported by code in <code>.../a/b/g</code> or in any other repository.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For Go 1.4, the internal package mechanism is enforced for the main Go repository;
|
||||
from 1.5 and onward it will be enforced for any repository.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Full details of the mechanism are in
|
||||
<a href="https://golang.org/s/go14internal">the design document</a>.

</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="canonicalimports">Canonical import paths</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Code often lives in repositories hosted by public services such as <code>github.com</code>,
|
||||
meaning that the import paths for packages begin with the name of the hosting service,
|
||||
<code>github.com/rsc/pdf</code> for example.
|
||||
One can use
|
||||
<a href="/cmd/go/#hdr-Remote_import_paths">an existing mechanism</a>
|
||||
to provide a "custom" or "vanity" import path such as
|
||||
<code>rsc.io/pdf</code>, but
|
||||
that creates two valid import paths for the package.
|
||||
That is a problem: one may inadvertently import the package through the two
|
||||
distinct paths in a single program, which is wasteful;
|
||||
miss an update to a package because the path being used is not recognized to be
|
||||
out of date;
|
||||
or break clients using the old path by moving the package to a different hosting service.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go 1.4 introduces an annotation for package clauses in Go source that identify a canonical
|
||||
import path for the package.
|
||||
If an import is attempted using a path that is not canonical,
|
||||
the <a href="/cmd/go/"><code>go</code></a> command
|
||||
will refuse to compile the importing package.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The syntax is simple: put an identifying comment on the package line.
|
||||
For our example, the package clause would read:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
package pdf // import "rsc.io/pdf"
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
With this in place,
|
||||
the <code>go</code> command will
|
||||
refuse to compile a package that imports <code>github.com/rsc/pdf</code>,
|
||||
ensuring that the code can be moved without breaking users.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The check is at build time, not download time, so if <code>go</code> <code>get</code>
|
||||
fails because of this check, the mis-imported package has been copied to the local machine
|
||||
and should be removed manually.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
To complement this new feature, a check has been added at update time to verify
|
||||
that the local package's remote repository matches that of its custom import.
|
||||
The <code>go</code> <code>get</code> <code>-u</code> command will fail to
|
||||
update a package if its remote repository has changed since it was first
|
||||
downloaded.
|
||||
The new <code>-f</code> flag overrides this check.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||

<h3 id="subrepo">Import paths for the subrepositories</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The Go project subrepositories (<code>code.google.com/p/go.tools</code> and so on)
|
||||
are now available under custom import paths replacing <code>code.google.com/p/go.</code> with <code>golang.org/x/</code>,
|
||||
as in <code>golang.org/x/tools</code>.
|
||||
We will add canonical import comments to the code around June 1, 2015,
|
||||
at which point Go 1.4 and later will stop accepting the old <code>code.google.com</code> paths.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>: All code that imports from subrepositories should change
|
||||
to use the new <code>golang.org</code> paths.
|
||||
Go 1.0 and later can resolve and import the new paths, so updating will not break
|
||||
compatibility with older releases.
|
||||
Code that has not updated will stop compiling with Go 1.4 around June 1, 2015.
|
||||
</p>

<h3 id="gogenerate">The go generate subcommand</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <a href="/cmd/go/"><code>go</code></a> command has a new subcommand,
|
||||
<a href="/cmd/go/#hdr-Generate_Go_files_by_processing_source"><code>go generate</code></a>,
|
||||
to automate the running of tools to generate source code before compilation.
|
||||
For example, it can be used to run the <a href="/cmd/yacc"><code>yacc</code></a>
|
||||
compiler-compiler on a <code>.y</code> file to produce the Go source file implementing the grammar,
|
||||
or to automate the generation of <code>String</code> methods for typed constants using the new
|
||||
<a href="https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/stringer">stringer</a>
|
||||
tool in the <code>golang.org/x/tools</code> subrepository.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For more information, see the
|
||||
<a href="https://golang.org/s/go1.4-generate">design document</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="filenames">Change to file name handling</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Build constraints, also known as build tags, control compilation by including or excluding files
|
||||
(see the documentation <a href="/pkg/go/build/"><code>/go/build</code></a>).
|
||||
Compilation can also be controlled by the name of the file itself by "tagging" the file with
|
||||
a suffix (before the <code>.go</code> or <code>.s</code> extension) with an underscore
|
||||
and the name of the architecture or operating system.
|
||||
For instance, the file <code>gopher_arm.go</code> will only be compiled if the target
|
||||
processor is an ARM.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Before Go 1.4, a file called just <code>arm.go</code> was similarly tagged, but this behavior
|
||||
can break sources when new architectures are added, causing files to suddenly become tagged.
|
||||
In 1.4, therefore, a file will be tagged in this manner only if the tag (architecture or operating
|
||||
system name) is preceded by an underscore.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>: Packages that depend on the old behavior will no longer compile correctly.
|
||||
Files with names like <code>windows.go</code> or <code>amd64.go</code> should either
|
||||
have explicit build tags added to the source or be renamed to something like
|
||||
<code>os_windows.go</code> or <code>support_amd64.go</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="gocmd">Other changes to the go command</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There were a number of minor changes to the
|
||||
<a href="/cmd/go/"><code>cmd/go</code></a>
|
||||
command worth noting.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Unless <a href="/cmd/cgo/"><code>cgo</code></a> is being used to build the package,
|
||||
the <code>go</code> command now refuses to compile C source files,
|
||||
since the relevant C compilers
|
||||
(<a href="/cmd/6c/"><code>6c</code></a> etc.)
|
||||
are intended to be removed from the installation in some future release.
|
||||
(They are used today only to build part of the runtime.)
|
||||
It is difficult to use them correctly in any case, so any extant uses are likely incorrect,
|
||||
so we have disabled them.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/cmd/go/#hdr-Test_packages"><code>go</code> <code>test</code></a>
|
||||
subcommand has a new flag, <code>-o</code>, to set the name of the resulting binary,
|
||||
corresponding to the same flag in other subcommands.
|
||||
The non-functional <code>-file</code> flag has been removed.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/cmd/go/#hdr-Test_packages"><code>go</code> <code>test</code></a>
|
||||
subcommand will compile and link all <code>*_test.go</code> files in the package,
|
||||
even when there are no <code>Test</code> functions in them.
|
||||
It previously ignored such files.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The behavior of the
|
||||
<a href="/cmd/go/#hdr-Test_packages"><code>go</code> <code>build</code></a>
|
||||
subcommand's
|
||||
<code>-a</code> flag has been changed for non-development installations.
|
||||
For installations running a released distribution, the <code>-a</code> flag will no longer
|
||||
rebuild the standard library and commands, to avoid overwriting the installation's files.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="pkg">Changes to package source layout</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In the main Go source repository, the source code for the packages was kept in
|
||||
the directory <code>src/pkg</code>, which made sense but differed from
|
||||
other repositories, including the Go subrepositories.
|
||||
In Go 1.4, the<code> pkg</code> level of the source tree is now gone, so for example
|
||||
the <a href="/pkg/fmt/"><code>fmt</code></a> package's source, once kept in
|
||||
directory <code>src/pkg/fmt</code>, now lives one level higher in <code>src/fmt</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>: Tools like <code>godoc</code> that discover source code
|
||||
need to know about the new location. All tools and services maintained by the Go team
|
||||
have been updated.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="swig">SWIG</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Due to runtime changes in this release, Go 1.4 requires SWIG 3.0.3.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="misc">Miscellany</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The standard repository's top-level <code>misc</code> directory used to contain
|
||||
Go support for editors and IDEs: plugins, initialization scripts and so on.
|
||||
Maintaining these was becoming time-consuming
|
||||
and needed external help because many of the editors listed were not used by
|
||||
members of the core team.
|
||||
It also required us to make decisions about which plugin was best for a given
|
||||
editor, even for editors we do not use.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The Go community at large is much better suited to managing this information.
|
||||
In Go 1.4, therefore, this support has been removed from the repository.
|
||||
Instead, there is a curated, informative list of what's available on
|
||||
a <a href="//golang.org/wiki/IDEsAndTextEditorPlugins">wiki page</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="performance">Performance</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Most programs will run about the same speed or slightly faster in 1.4 than in 1.3;
|
||||
some will be slightly slower.
|
||||
There are many changes, making it hard to be precise about what to expect.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
As mentioned above, much of the runtime was translated to Go from C,
|
||||
which led to some reduction in heap sizes.
|
||||
It also improved performance slightly because the Go compiler is better
|
||||
at optimization, due to things like inlining, than the C compiler used to build
|
||||
the runtime.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The garbage collector was sped up, leading to measurable improvements for
|
||||
garbage-heavy programs.
|
||||
On the other hand, the new write barriers slow things down again, typically
|
||||
by about the same amount but, depending on their behavior, some programs
|
||||
may be somewhat slower or faster.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Library changes that affect performance are documented below.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="library">Changes to the standard library</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="new_packages">New packages</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There are no new packages in this release.
|
||||
</p>
|

|
||||
<h3 id="major_library_changes">Major changes to the library</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4 id="scanner">bufio.Scanner</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/bufio/#Scanner"><code>Scanner</code></a> type in the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/bufio/"><code>bufio</code></a> package
|
||||
has had a bug fixed that may require changes to custom
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/bufio/#SplitFunc"><code>split functions</code></a>.
|
||||
The bug made it impossible to generate an empty token at EOF; the fix
|
||||
changes the end conditions seen by the split function.
|
||||
Previously, scanning stopped at EOF if there was no more data.
|
||||
As of 1.4, the split function will be called once at EOF after input is exhausted,
|
||||
so the split function can generate a final empty token
|
||||
as the documentation already promised.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>: Custom split functions may need to be modified to
|
||||
handle empty tokens at EOF as desired.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4 id="syscall">syscall</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/syscall/"><code>syscall</code></a> package is now frozen except
|
||||
for changes needed to maintain the core repository.
|
||||
In particular, it will no longer be extended to support new or different system calls
|
||||
that are not used by the core.
|
||||
The reasons are described at length in <a href="https://golang.org/s/go1.4-syscall">a
|
||||
separate document</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
A new subrepository, <a href="https://golang.org/x/sys">golang.org/x/sys</a>,
|
||||
has been created to serve as the location for new developments to support system
|
||||
calls on all kernels.
|
||||
It has a nicer structure, with three packages that each hold the implementation of
|
||||
system calls for one of
|
||||
<a href="https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/sys/unix">Unix</a>,
|
||||
<a href="https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/sys/windows">Windows</a> and
|
||||
<a href="https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/sys/plan9">Plan 9</a>.
|
||||
These packages will be curated more generously, accepting all reasonable changes
|
||||
that reflect kernel interfaces in those operating systems.
|
||||
See the documentation and the article mentioned above for more information.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>: Existing programs are not affected as the <code>syscall</code>
|
||||
package is largely unchanged from the 1.3 release.
|
||||
Future development that requires system calls not in the <code>syscall</code> package
|
||||
should build on <code>golang.org/x/sys</code> instead.

||||

<h3 id="minor_library_changes">Minor changes to the library</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The following list summarizes a number of minor changes to the library, mostly additions.
|
||||
See the relevant package documentation for more information about each change.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/archive/zip/"><code>archive/zip</code></a> package's
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/archive/zip/#Writer"><code>Writer</code></a> now supports a
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/archive/zip/#Writer.Flush"><code>Flush</code></a> method.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|

The <a href="/pkg/compress/flate/"><code>compress/flate</code></a>,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/compress/gzip/"><code>compress/gzip</code></a>,
|
||||
and <a href="/pkg/compress/zlib/"><code>compress/zlib</code></a>
|
||||
packages now support a <code>Reset</code> method
|
||||
for the decompressors, allowing them to reuse buffers and improve performance.
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/compress/gzip/"><code>compress/gzip</code></a> package also has a
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/compress/gzip/#Reader.Multistream"><code>Multistream</code></a> method to control support
|
||||
for multistream files.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/crypto/"><code>crypto</code></a> package now has a
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/crypto/#Signer"><code>Signer</code></a> interface, implemented by the
|
||||
<code>PrivateKey</code> types in
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/crypto/ecdsa"><code>crypto/ecdsa</code></a> and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/crypto/rsa"><code>crypto/rsa</code></a>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/crypto/tls/"><code>crypto/tls</code></a> package
|
||||
now supports ALPN as defined in <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7301">RFC 7301</a>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/crypto/tls/"><code>crypto/tls</code></a> package
|
||||
now supports programmatic selection of server certificates
|
||||
through the new <a href="/pkg/crypto/tls/#Config.CertificateForName"><code>CertificateForName</code></a> function
|
||||
of the <a href="/pkg/crypto/tls/#Config"><code>Config</code></a> struct.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Also in the crypto/tls package, the server now supports
|
||||
<a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-downgrade-scsv-00">TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV</a>
|
||||
to help clients detect fallback attacks.
|
||||
(The Go client does not support fallback at all, so it is not vulnerable to
|
||||
those attacks.)
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/database/sql/"><code>database/sql</code></a> package can now list all registered
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/database/sql/#Drivers"><code>Drivers</code></a>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/debug/dwarf/"><code>debug/dwarf</code></a> package now supports
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/debug/dwarf/#UnspecifiedType"><code>UnspecifiedType</code></a>s.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
In the <a href="/pkg/encoding/asn1/"><code>encoding/asn1</code></a> package,
|
||||
optional elements with a default value will now only be omitted if they have that value.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/encoding/csv/"><code>encoding/csv</code></a> package no longer
|
||||
quotes empty strings but does quote the end-of-data marker <code>\.</code> (backslash dot).
|
||||
This is permitted by the definition of CSV and allows it to work better with Postgres.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/encoding/gob/"><code>encoding/gob</code></a> package has been rewritten to eliminate
|
||||
the use of unsafe operations, allowing it to be used in environments that do not permit use of the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/unsafe/"><code>unsafe</code></a> package.
|
||||
For typical uses it will be 10-30% slower, but the delta is dependent on the type of the data and
|
||||
in some cases, especially involving arrays, it can be faster.
|
||||
There is no functional change.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/encoding/xml/"><code>encoding/xml</code></a> package's
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/xml/#Decoder"><code>Decoder</code></a> can now report its input offset.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
In the <a href="/pkg/fmt/"><code>fmt</code></a> package,
|
||||
formatting of pointers to maps has changed to be consistent with that of pointers
|
||||
to structs, arrays, and so on.
|
||||
For instance, <code>&map[string]int{"one":</code> <code>1}</code> now prints by default as
|
||||
<code>&map[one:</code> <code>1]</code> rather than as a hexadecimal pointer value.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/image/"><code>image</code></a> package's
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/image/#Image"><code>Image</code></a>
|
||||
implementations like
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/image/#RGBA"><code>RGBA</code></a> and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/image/#Gray"><code>Gray</code></a> have specialized
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/image/#RGBA.RGBAAt"><code>RGBAAt</code></a> and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/image/#Gray.GrayAt"><code>GrayAt</code></a> methods alongside the general
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/image/#Image.At"><code>At</code></a> method.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/image/png/"><code>image/png</code></a> package now has an
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/image/png/#Encoder"><code>Encoder</code></a>
|
||||
type to control the compression level used for encoding.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/math/"><code>math</code></a> package now has a

<a href="/pkg/syscall/#Setuid"><code>Setuid</code></a>
|

All negative values compare less than all unsigned values.

the micro symbol (U+00B5 'µ'), to print microsecond durations.

<em>Updating</em>: Code that depends on the output format of durations
|

<h2 id="introduction">Introduction to Go 1.6</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The latest Go release, version 1.6, arrives six months after 1.5.
|
||||
Most of its changes are in the implementation of the language, runtime, and libraries.
|
||||
There are no changes to the language specification.
|
||||
As always, the release maintains the Go 1 <a href="/doc/go1compat.html">promise of compatibility</a>.
|
||||
We expect almost all Go programs to continue to compile and run as before.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The release adds new ports to <a href="#ports">Linux on 64-bit MIPS and Android on 32-bit x86</a>;
|
||||
defined and enforced <a href="#cgo">rules for sharing Go pointers with C</a>;
|
||||
transparent, automatic <a href="#http2">support for HTTP/2</a>;
|
||||
and a new mechanism for <a href="#template">template reuse</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="language">Changes to the language</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There are no language changes in this release.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="ports">Ports</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go 1.6 adds experimental ports to
|
||||
Linux on 64-bit MIPS (<code>linux/mips64</code> and <code>linux/mips64le</code>).
|
||||
These ports support <code>cgo</code> but only with internal linking.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go 1.6 also adds an experimental port to Android on 32-bit x86 (<code>android/386</code>).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
On FreeBSD, Go 1.6 defaults to using <code>clang</code>, not <code>gcc</code>, as the external C compiler.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
On Linux on little-endian 64-bit PowerPC (<code>linux/ppc64le</code>),
|
||||
Go 1.6 now supports <code>cgo</code> with external linking and
|
||||
is roughly feature complete.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
On NaCl, Go 1.5 required SDK version pepper-41.
|
||||
Go 1.6 adds support for later SDK versions.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
On 32-bit x86 systems using the <code>-dynlink</code> or <code>-shared</code> compilation modes,
|
||||
the register CX is now overwritten by certain memory references and should
|
||||
be avoided in hand-written assembly.
|
||||
See the <a href="/doc/asm#x86">assembly documentation</a> for details.
|
||||
</p>

<h2 id="tools">Tools</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="cgo">Cgo</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There is one major change to <a href="/cmd/cgo/"><code>cgo</code></a>, along with one minor change.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The major change is the definition of rules for sharing Go pointers with C code,
|
||||
to ensure that such C code can coexist with Go's garbage collector.
|
||||
Briefly, Go and C may share memory allocated by Go
|
||||
when a pointer to that memory is passed to C as part of a <code>cgo</code> call,
|
||||
provided that the memory itself contains no pointers to Go-allocated memory,
|
||||
and provided that C does not retain the pointer after the call returns.
|
||||
These rules are checked by the runtime during program execution:
|
||||
if the runtime detects a violation, it prints a diagnosis and crashes the program.
|
||||
The checks can be disabled by setting the environment variable
|
||||
<code>GODEBUG=cgocheck=0</code>, but note that the vast majority of
|
||||
code identified by the checks is subtly incompatible with garbage collection
|
||||
in one way or another.
|
||||
Disabling the checks will typically only lead to more mysterious failure modes.
|
||||
Fixing the code in question should be strongly preferred
|
||||
over turning off the checks.
|
||||
See the <a href="/cmd/cgo/#hdr-Passing_pointers"><code>cgo</code> documentation</a> for more details.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The minor change is
|
||||
the addition of explicit <code>C.complexfloat</code> and <code>C.complexdouble</code> types,
|
||||
separate from Go's <code>complex64</code> and <code>complex128</code>.
|
||||
Matching the other numeric types, C's complex types and Go's complex type are
|
||||
no longer interchangeable.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="compiler">Compiler Toolchain</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The compiler toolchain is mostly unchanged.
|
||||
Internally, the most significant change is that the parser is now hand-written
|
||||
instead of generated from <a href="/cmd/yacc/">yacc</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The compiler, linker, and <code>go</code> command have a new flag <code>-msan</code>,
|
||||
analogous to <code>-race</code> and only available on linux/amd64,
|
||||
that enables interoperation with the <a href="https://clang.llvm.org/docs/MemorySanitizer.html">Clang MemorySanitizer</a>.
|
||||
Such interoperation is useful mainly for testing a program containing suspect C or C++ code.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The linker has a new option <code>-libgcc</code> to set the expected location
|
||||
of the C compiler support library when linking <a href="/cmd/cgo/"><code>cgo</code></a> code.
|
||||
The option is only consulted when using <code>-linkmode=internal</code>,
|
||||
and it may be set to <code>none</code> to disable the use of a support library.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The implementation of <a href="/doc/go1.5#link">build modes started in Go 1.5</a> has been expanded to more systems.
|
||||
This release adds support for the <code>c-shared</code> mode on <code>android/386</code>, <code>android/amd64</code>,
|
||||
<code>android/arm64</code>, <code>linux/386</code>, and <code>linux/arm64</code>;
|
||||
for the <code>shared</code> mode on <code>linux/386</code>, <code>linux/arm</code>, <code>linux/amd64</code>, and <code>linux/ppc64le</code>;
|
||||
and for the new <code>pie</code> mode (generating position-independent executables) on
|
||||
<code>android/386</code>, <code>android/amd64</code>, <code>android/arm</code>, <code>android/arm64</code>, <code>linux/386</code>,
|
||||
<code>linux/amd64</code>, <code>linux/arm</code>, <code>linux/arm64</code>, and <code>linux/ppc64le</code>.
|
||||
See the <a href="https://golang.org/s/execmodes">design document</a> for details.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
As a reminder, the linker's <code>-X</code> flag changed in Go 1.5.
|
||||
In Go 1.4 and earlier, it took two arguments, as in
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
-X importpath.name value
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go 1.5 added an alternative syntax using a single argument
|
||||
that is itself a <code>name=value</code> pair:
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
-X importpath.name=value
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In Go 1.5 the old syntax was still accepted, after printing a warning
|
||||
suggesting use of the new syntax instead.
|
||||
Go 1.6 continues to accept the old syntax and print the warning.
|
||||
Go 1.7 will remove support for the old syntax.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="gccgo">Gccgo</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The release schedules for the GCC and Go projects do not coincide.
|
||||
GCC release 5 contains the Go 1.4 version of gccgo.
|
||||
The next release, GCC 6, will have the Go 1.6.1 version of gccgo.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="go_command">Go command</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <a href="/cmd/go"><code>go</code></a> command's basic operation
|
||||
is unchanged, but there are a number of changes worth noting.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go 1.5 introduced experimental support for vendoring,
|
||||
enabled by setting the <code>GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT</code> environment variable to <code>1</code>.
|
||||
Go 1.6 keeps the vendoring support, no longer considered experimental,
|
||||
and enables it by default.
|
||||
It can be disabled explicitly by setting
|
||||
the <code>GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT</code> environment variable to <code>0</code>.
|
||||
Go 1.7 will remove support for the environment variable.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The most likely problem caused by enabling vendoring by default happens
|
||||
in source trees containing an existing directory named <code>vendor</code> that
|
||||
does not expect to be interpreted according to new vendoring semantics.
|
||||
In this case, the simplest fix is to rename the directory to anything other
|
||||
than <code>vendor</code> and update any affected import paths.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For details about vendoring,
|
||||
see the documentation for the <a href="/cmd/go/#hdr-Vendor_Directories"><code>go</code> command</a>
|
||||
and the <a href="https://golang.org/s/go15vendor">design document</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There is a new build flag, <code>-msan</code>,
|
||||
that compiles Go with support for the LLVM memory sanitizer.
|
||||
This is intended mainly for use when linking against C or C++ code
|
||||
that is being checked with the memory sanitizer.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="doc_command">Go doc command</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go 1.5 introduced the
|
||||
<a href="/cmd/go/#hdr-Show_documentation_for_package_or_symbol"><code>go doc</code></a> command,
|
||||
which allows references to packages using only the package name, as in
|
||||
<code>go</code> <code>doc</code> <code>http</code>.
|
||||
In the event of ambiguity, the Go 1.5 behavior was to use the package
|
||||
with the lexicographically earliest import path.
|
||||
In Go 1.6, ambiguity is resolved by preferring import paths with
|
||||
fewer elements, breaking ties using lexicographic comparison.
|
||||
An important effect of this change is that original copies of packages
|
||||
are now preferred over vendored copies.
|
||||
Successful searches also tend to run faster.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="vet_command">Go vet command</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The <a href="/cmd/vet"><code>go vet</code></a> command now diagnoses
|
||||
passing function or method values as arguments to <code>Printf</code>,
|
||||
such as when passing <code>f</code> where <code>f()</code> was intended.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="performance">Performance</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
As always, the changes are so general and varied that precise statements
|
||||
about performance are difficult to make.
|
||||
Some programs may run faster, some slower.
|
||||
On average the programs in the Go 1 benchmark suite run a few percent faster in Go 1.6
|
||||
than they did in Go 1.5.
|
||||
The garbage collector's pauses are even lower than in Go 1.5,
|
||||
especially for programs using
|
||||
a large amount of memory.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
There have been significant optimizations bringing more than 10% improvements
|
||||
to implementations of the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/compress/bzip2/"><code>compress/bzip2</code></a>,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/compress/gzip/"><code>compress/gzip</code></a>,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/crypto/aes/"><code>crypto/aes</code></a>,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/crypto/elliptic/"><code>crypto/elliptic</code></a>,

|
||||
<a href="/pkg/sort/"><code>sort</code></a> packages.
|
||||
</p>

||||
|
||||
<h2 id="library">Core library</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="http2">HTTP/2</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go 1.6 adds transparent support in the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/http/"><code>net/http</code></a> package
|
||||
for the new <a href="https://http2.github.io/">HTTP/2 protocol</a>.
|
||||
Go clients and servers will automatically use HTTP/2 as appropriate when using HTTPS.
|
||||
There is no exported API specific to details of the HTTP/2 protocol handling,
|
||||
just as there is no exported API specific to HTTP/1.1.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Programs that must disable HTTP/2 can do so by setting
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/http/#Transport"><code>Transport.TLSNextProto</code></a> (for clients)
|
||||
or
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/http/#Server"><code>Server.TLSNextProto</code></a> (for servers)
|
||||
to a non-nil, empty map.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Programs that must adjust HTTP/2 protocol-specific details can import and use
|
||||
<a href="https://golang.org/x/net/http2"><code>golang.org/x/net/http2</code></a>,

<h3 id="runtime">Runtime</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The runtime has added lightweight, best-effort detection of concurrent misuse of maps.
|
||||
As always, if one goroutine is writing to a map, no other goroutine should be
|
||||
reading or writing the map concurrently.
|
||||
If the runtime detects this condition, it prints a diagnosis and crashes the program.
|
||||
The best way to find out more about the problem is to run the program
|
||||
under the
|
||||
<a href="https://blog.golang.org/race-detector">race detector</a>,
|
||||
which will more reliably identify the race
|
||||
and give more detail.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For program-ending panics, the runtime now by default
|
||||
prints only the stack of the running goroutine,
|
||||
not all existing goroutines.
|
||||
Usually only the current goroutine is relevant to a panic,
|
||||
so omitting the others significantly reduces irrelevant output
|
||||
in a crash message.
|
||||
To see the stacks from all goroutines in crash messages, set the environment variable
|
||||
<code>GOTRACEBACK</code> to <code>all</code>
|
||||
or call
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/runtime/debug/#SetTraceback"><code>debug.SetTraceback</code></a>
|
||||
before the crash, and rerun the program.
|
||||
See the <a href="/pkg/runtime/#hdr-Environment_Variables">runtime documentation</a> for details.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>:
|
||||
Uncaught panics intended to dump the state of the entire program,
|
||||
such as when a timeout is detected or when explicitly handling a received signal,
|
||||
should now call <code>debug.SetTraceback("all")</code> before panicking.
|
||||
Searching for uses of
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/os/signal/#Notify"><code>signal.Notify</code></a> may help identify such code.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
On Windows, Go programs in Go 1.5 and earlier forced
|
||||
the global Windows timer resolution to 1ms at startup
|
||||
by calling <code>timeBeginPeriod(1)</code>.
|
||||
Go no longer needs this for good scheduler performance,
|
||||
and changing the global timer resolution caused problems on some systems,
|
||||
so the call has been removed.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
When using <code>-buildmode=c-archive</code> or
|
||||
<code>-buildmode=c-shared</code> to build an archive or a shared
|
||||
library, the handling of signals has changed.
|
||||
In Go 1.5 the archive or shared library would install a signal handler
|
||||
for most signals.
|
||||
In Go 1.6 it will only install a signal handler for the
|
||||
synchronous signals needed to handle run-time panics in Go code:
|
||||
SIGBUS, SIGFPE, SIGSEGV.
|
||||
See the <a href="/pkg/os/signal">os/signal</a> package for more
|
||||
details.

<h3 id="reflect">Reflect</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/reflect/"><code>reflect</code></a> package has
|
||||
<a href="https://golang.org/issue/12367">resolved a long-standing incompatibility</a>
|
||||
between the gc and gccgo toolchains
|
||||
regarding embedded unexported struct types containing exported fields.
|
||||
Code that walks data structures using reflection, especially to implement
|
||||
serialization in the spirit
|
||||
of the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/json/"><code>encoding/json</code></a> and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/xml/"><code>encoding/xml</code></a> packages,
|
||||
may need to be updated.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The problem arises when using reflection to walk through
|
||||
an embedded unexported struct-typed field
|
||||
into an exported field of that struct.
|
||||
In this case, <code>reflect</code> had incorrectly reported
|
||||
the embedded field as exported, by returning an empty <code>Field.PkgPath</code>.
|
||||
Now it correctly reports the field as unexported
|
||||
but ignores that fact when evaluating access to exported fields
|
||||
contained within the struct.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>:
|
||||
Typically, code that previously walked over structs and used
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
f.PkgPath != ""
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
to exclude inaccessible fields
|
||||
should now use
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
f.PkgPath != "" && !f.Anonymous
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For example, see the changes to the implementations of
|
||||
<a href="https://go-review.googlesource.com/#/c/14011/2/src/encoding/json/encode.go"><code>encoding/json</code></a> and
|
||||
<a href="https://go-review.googlesource.com/#/c/14012/2/src/encoding/xml/typeinfo.go"><code>encoding/xml</code></a>.

<h3 id="sort">Sorting</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/sort/"><code>sort</code></a>
|
||||
package,
|
||||
the implementation of
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/sort/#Sort"><code>Sort</code></a>
|
||||
has been rewritten to make about 10% fewer calls to the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/sort/#Interface"><code>Interface</code></a>'s
|
||||
<code>Less</code> and <code>Swap</code>
|
||||
methods, with a corresponding overall time savings.
|
||||
The new algorithm does choose a different ordering than before
|
||||
for values that compare equal (those pairs for which <code>Less(i,</code> <code>j)</code> and <code>Less(j,</code> <code>i)</code> are false).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<em>Updating</em>:
|
||||
The definition of <code>Sort</code> makes no guarantee about the final order of equal values,
|
||||
but the new behavior may still break programs that expect a specific order.
|
||||
Such programs should either refine their <code>Less</code> implementations
|
||||
to report the desired order
|
||||
or should switch to
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/sort/#Stable"><code>Stable</code></a>,
|
||||
which preserves the original input order
|
||||
of equal values.
|
||||
</p>
|

|
||||
<h3 id="template">Templates</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/text/template/">text/template</a> package,
|
||||
there are two significant new features to make writing templates easier.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
First, it is now possible to <a href="/pkg/text/template/#hdr-Text_and_spaces">trim spaces around template actions</a>,
|
||||
which can make template definitions more readable.
|
||||
A minus sign at the beginning of an action says to trim space before the action,
|
||||
and a minus sign at the end of an action says to trim space after the action.
|
||||
For example, the template
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
{{"{{"}}23 -}}
|
||||
<
|
||||
{{"{{"}}- 45}}
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
formats as <code>23<45</code>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Second, the new <a href="/pkg/text/template/#hdr-Actions"><code>{{"{{"}}block}}</code> action</a>,
|
||||
combined with allowing redefinition of named templates,
|
||||
provides a simple way to define pieces of a template that
|
||||
can be replaced in different instantiations.
|
||||
There is <a href="/pkg/text/template/#example_Template_block">an example</a>
|
||||
in the <code>text/template</code> package that demonstrates this new feature.
|
||||
</p>

||||
|
||||
<h3 id="minor_library_changes">Minor changes to the library</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/archive/tar/"><code>archive/tar</code></a> package's
|
||||
implementation corrects many bugs in rare corner cases of the file format.
|
||||
One visible change is that the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/archive/tar/#Reader"><code>Reader</code></a> type's
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/archive/tar/#Reader.Read"><code>Read</code></a> method
|
||||
now presents the content of special file types as being empty,
|
||||
returning <code>io.EOF</code> immediately.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
In the <a href="/pkg/archive/zip/"><code>archive/zip</code></a> package, the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/archive/zip/#Reader"><code>Reader</code></a> type now has a
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/archive/zip/#Reader.RegisterDecompressor"><code>RegisterDecompressor</code></a> method,
|
||||
and the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/archive/zip/#Writer"><code>Writer</code></a> type now has a
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/archive/zip/#Writer.RegisterCompressor"><code>RegisterCompressor</code></a> method,
|
||||
enabling control over compression options for individual zip files.
|
||||
These take precedence over the pre-existing global
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/archive/zip/#RegisterDecompressor"><code>RegisterDecompressor</code></a> and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/archive/zip/#RegisterCompressor"><code>RegisterCompressor</code></a> functions.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/bufio/"><code>bufio</code></a> package's
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/bufio/#Scanner"><code>Scanner</code></a> type now has a
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/bufio/#Scanner.Buffer"><code>Buffer</code></a> method,
|
||||
to specify an initial buffer and maximum buffer size to use during scanning.
|
||||
This makes it possible, when needed, to scan tokens larger than
|
||||
<code>MaxScanTokenSize</code>.
|
||||
Also for the <code>Scanner</code>, the package now defines the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/bufio/#ErrFinalToken"><code>ErrFinalToken</code></a> error value, for use by
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/bufio/#SplitFunc">split functions</a> to abort processing or to return a final empty token.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/compress/flate/"><code>compress/flate</code></a> package
|
||||
has deprecated its
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/compress/flate/#ReadError"><code>ReadError</code></a> and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/compress/flate/#WriteError"><code>WriteError</code></a> error implementations.
|
||||
In Go 1.5 they were only rarely returned when an error was encountered;
|
||||
now they are never returned, although they remain defined for compatibility.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/compress/flate/"><code>compress/flate</code></a>,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/compress/gzip/"><code>compress/gzip</code></a>, and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/compress/zlib/"><code>compress/zlib</code></a> packages
|
||||
now report
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/io/#ErrUnexpectedEOF"><code>io.ErrUnexpectedEOF</code></a> for truncated input streams, instead of
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/io/#EOF"><code>io.EOF</code></a>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/crypto/cipher/"><code>crypto/cipher</code></a> package now
|
||||
overwrites the destination buffer in the event of a GCM decryption failure.
|
||||
This is to allow the AESNI code to avoid using a temporary buffer.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/crypto/tls/"><code>crypto/tls</code></a> package
|
||||
has a variety of minor changes.
|
||||
It now allows
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/crypto/tls/#Listen"><code>Listen</code></a>
|
||||
to succeed when the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/crypto/tls/#Config"><code>Config</code></a>
|
||||
has a nil <code>Certificates</code>, as long as the <code>GetCertificate</code> callback is set,
|
||||
it adds support for RSA with AES-GCM cipher suites,
|
||||
and
|
||||
it adds a
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/crypto/tls/#RecordHeaderError"><code>RecordHeaderError</code></a>
|
||||
to allow clients (in particular, the <a href="/pkg/net/http/"><code>net/http</code></a> package)
|
||||
to report a better error when attempting a TLS connection to a non-TLS server.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/crypto/x509/"><code>crypto/x509</code></a> package
|
||||
now permits certificates to contain negative serial numbers
|
||||
(technically an error, but unfortunately common in practice),
|
||||
and it defines a new
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/crypto/x509/#InsecureAlgorithmError"><code>InsecureAlgorithmError</code></a>
|
||||
to give a better error message when rejecting a certificate
|
||||
signed with an insecure algorithm like MD5.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/debug/dwarf"><code>debug/dwarf</code></a> and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/debug/elf/"><code>debug/elf</code></a> packages
|
||||
together add support for compressed DWARF sections.
|
||||
User code needs no updating: the sections are decompressed automatically when read.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/debug/elf/"><code>debug/elf</code></a> package
|
||||
adds support for general compressed ELF sections.
|
||||
User code needs no updating: the sections are decompressed automatically when read.
|
||||
However, compressed
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/debug/elf/#Section"><code>Sections</code></a> do not support random access:
|
||||
they have a nil <code>ReaderAt</code> field.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/encoding/asn1/"><code>encoding/asn1</code></a> package
|
||||
now exports
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/asn1/#pkg-constants">tag and class constants</a>
|
||||
useful for advanced parsing of ASN.1 structures.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Also in the <a href="/pkg/encoding/asn1/"><code>encoding/asn1</code></a> package,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/asn1/#Unmarshal"><code>Unmarshal</code></a> now rejects various non-standard integer and length encodings.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/encoding/base64"><code>encoding/base64</code></a> package's
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/base64/#Decoder"><code>Decoder</code></a> has been fixed
|
||||
to process the final bytes of its input. Previously it processed as many four-byte tokens as
|
||||
possible but ignored the remainder, up to three bytes.
|
||||
The <code>Decoder</code> therefore now handles inputs in unpadded encodings (like
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/base64/#RawURLEncoding">RawURLEncoding</a>) correctly,
|
||||
but it also rejects inputs in padded encodings that are truncated or end with invalid bytes,
|
||||
such as trailing spaces.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/encoding/json/"><code>encoding/json</code></a> package
|
||||
now checks the syntax of a
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/json/#Number"><code>Number</code></a>
|
||||
before marshaling it, requiring that it conforms to the JSON specification for numeric values.
|
||||
As in previous releases, the zero <code>Number</code> (an empty string) is marshaled as a literal 0 (zero).
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/encoding/xml/"><code>encoding/xml</code></a> package's
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/xml/#Marshal"><code>Marshal</code></a>
|
||||
function now supports a <code>cdata</code> attribute, such as <code>chardata</code>
|
||||
but encoding its argument in one or more <code><![CDATA[ ... ]]></code> tags.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Also in the <a href="/pkg/encoding/xml/"><code>encoding/xml</code></a> package,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/xml/#Decoder"><code>Decoder</code></a>'s
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/xml/#Decoder.Token"><code>Token</code></a> method
|
||||
now reports an error when encountering EOF before seeing all open tags closed,
|
||||
consistent with its general requirement that tags in the input be properly matched.
|
||||
To avoid that requirement, use
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/xml/#Decoder.RawToken"><code>RawToken</code></a>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/fmt/"><code>fmt</code></a> package now allows
|
||||
any integer type as an argument to
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/fmt/#Printf"><code>Printf</code></a>'s <code>*</code> width and precision specification.
|
||||
In previous releases, the argument to <code>*</code> was required to have type <code>int</code>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Also in the <a href="/pkg/fmt/"><code>fmt</code></a> package,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/fmt/#Scanf"><code>Scanf</code></a> can now scan hexadecimal strings using %X, as an alias for %x.
|
||||
Both formats accept any mix of upper- and lower-case hexadecimal.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/image/"><code>image</code></a>
|
||||
and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/image/color/"><code>image/color</code></a> packages
|
||||
add
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/image/#NYCbCrA"><code>NYCbCrA</code></a>
|
||||
and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/image/color/#NYCbCrA"><code>NYCbCrA</code></a>
|
||||
types, to support Y'CbCr images with non-premultiplied alpha.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/io/"><code>io</code></a> package's
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/io/#MultiWriter"><code>MultiWriter</code></a>
|
||||
implementation now implements a <code>WriteString</code> method,
|
||||
for use by
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/io/#WriteString"><code>WriteString</code></a>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
In the <a href="/pkg/math/big/"><code>math/big</code></a> package,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/math/big/#Int"><code>Int</code></a> adds
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/math/big/#Int.Append"><code>Append</code></a>
|
||||
and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/math/big/#Int.Text"><code>Text</code></a>
|
||||
methods to give more control over printing.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Also in the <a href="/pkg/math/big/"><code>math/big</code></a> package,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/math/big/#Float"><code>Float</code></a> now implements
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/#TextMarshaler"><code>encoding.TextMarshaler</code></a> and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/#TextUnmarshaler"><code>encoding.TextUnmarshaler</code></a>,
|
||||
allowing it to be serialized in a natural form by the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/json/"><code>encoding/json</code></a> and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/encoding/xml/"><code>encoding/xml</code></a> packages.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Also in the <a href="/pkg/math/big/"><code>math/big</code></a> package,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/math/big/#Float"><code>Float</code></a>'s
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/math/big/#Float.Append"><code>Append</code></a> method now supports the special precision argument -1.
|
||||
As in
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/strconv/#ParseFloat"><code>strconv.ParseFloat</code></a>,
|
||||
precision -1 means to use the smallest number of digits necessary such that
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/math/big/#Float.Parse"><code>Parse</code></a>
|
||||
reading the result into a <code>Float</code> of the same precision
|
||||
will yield the original value.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/math/rand/"><code>math/rand</code></a> package
|
||||
adds a
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/math/rand/#Read"><code>Read</code></a>
|
||||
function, and likewise
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/math/rand/#Rand"><code>Rand</code></a> adds a
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/math/rand/#Rand.Read"><code>Read</code></a> method.
|
||||
These make it easier to generate pseudorandom test data.
|
||||
Note that, like the rest of the package,
|
||||
these should not be used in cryptographic settings;
|
||||
for such purposes, use the <a href="/pkg/crypto/rand/"><code>crypto/rand</code></a> package instead.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/net/"><code>net</code></a> package's
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/#ParseMAC"><code>ParseMAC</code></a> function now accepts 20-byte IP-over-InfiniBand (IPoIB) link-layer addresses.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Also in the <a href="/pkg/net/"><code>net</code></a> package,
|
||||
there have been a few changes to DNS lookups.
|
||||
First, the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/#DNSError"><code>DNSError</code></a> error implementation now implements
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/#Error"><code>Error</code></a>,
|
||||
and in particular its new
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/#DNSError.IsTemporary"><code>IsTemporary</code></a>
|
||||
method returns true for DNS server errors.
|
||||
Second, DNS lookup functions such as
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/#LookupAddr"><code>LookupAddr</code></a>
|
||||
now return rooted domain names (with a trailing dot)
|
||||
on Plan 9 and Windows, to match the behavior of Go on Unix systems.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/net/http/"><code>net/http</code></a> package has
|
||||
a number of minor additions beyond the HTTP/2 support already discussed.
|
||||
First, the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/http/#FileServer"><code>FileServer</code></a> now sorts its generated directory listings by file name.
|
||||
Second, the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/http/#ServeFile"><code>ServeFile</code></a> function now refuses to serve a result
|
||||
if the request's URL path contains “..” (dot-dot) as a path element.
|
||||
Programs should typically use <code>FileServer</code> and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/http/#Dir"><code>Dir</code></a>
|
||||
instead of calling <code>ServeFile</code> directly.
|
||||
Programs that need to serve file content in response to requests for URLs containing dot-dot can
|
||||
still call <a href="/pkg/net/http/#ServeContent"><code>ServeContent</code></a>.
|
||||
Third, the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/http/#Client"><code>Client</code></a> now allows user code to set the
|
||||
<code>Expect:</code> <code>100-continue</code> header (see
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/http/#Transport"><code>Transport.ExpectContinueTimeout</code></a>).
|
||||
Fourth, there are
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/http/#pkg-constants">five new error codes</a>:
|
||||
<code>StatusPreconditionRequired</code> (428),
|
||||
<code>StatusTooManyRequests</code> (429),
|
||||
<code>StatusRequestHeaderFieldsTooLarge</code> (431), and
|
||||
<code>StatusNetworkAuthenticationRequired</code> (511) from RFC 6585,
|
||||
as well as the recently-approved
|
||||
<code>StatusUnavailableForLegalReasons</code> (451).
|
||||
Fifth, the implementation and documentation of
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/http/#CloseNotifier"><code>CloseNotifier</code></a>
|
||||
has been substantially changed.
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/net/http/#Hijacker"><code>Hijacker</code></a>
|
||||
interface now works correctly on connections that have previously
|
||||
been used with <code>CloseNotifier</code>.
|
||||
The documentation now describes when <code>CloseNotifier</code>
|
||||
is expected to work.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Also in the <a href="/pkg/net/http/"><code>net/http</code></a> package,
|
||||
there are a few changes related to the handling of a
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/http/#Request"><code>Request</code></a> data structure with its <code>Method</code> field set to the empty string.
|
||||
An empty <code>Method</code> field has always been documented as an alias for <code>"GET"</code>
|
||||
and it remains so.
|
||||
However, Go 1.6 fixes a few routines that did not treat an empty
|
||||
<code>Method</code> the same as an explicit <code>"GET"</code>.
|
||||
Most notably, in previous releases
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/http/#Client"><code>Client</code></a> followed redirects only with
|
||||
<code>Method</code> set explicitly to <code>"GET"</code>;
|
||||
in Go 1.6 <code>Client</code> also follows redirects for the empty <code>Method</code>.
|
||||
Finally,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/http/#NewRequest"><code>NewRequest</code></a> accepts a <code>method</code> argument that has not been
|
||||
documented as allowed to be empty.
|
||||
In past releases, passing an empty <code>method</code> argument resulted
|
||||
in a <code>Request</code> with an empty <code>Method</code> field.
|
||||
In Go 1.6, the resulting <code>Request</code> always has an initialized
|
||||
<code>Method</code> field: if its argument is an empty string, <code>NewRequest</code>
|
||||
sets the <code>Method</code> field in the returned <code>Request</code> to <code>"GET"</code>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/net/http/httptest/"><code>net/http/httptest</code></a> package's
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/http/httptest/#ResponseRecorder"><code>ResponseRecorder</code></a> now initializes a default Content-Type header
|
||||
using the same content-sniffing algorithm as in
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/http/#Server"><code>http.Server</code></a>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/net/url/"><code>net/url</code></a> package's
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/url/#Parse"><code>Parse</code></a> is now stricter and more spec-compliant regarding the parsing
|
||||
of host names.
|
||||
For example, spaces in the host name are no longer accepted.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Also in the <a href="/pkg/net/url/"><code>net/url</code></a> package,
|
||||
the <a href="/pkg/net/url/#Error"><code>Error</code></a> type now implements
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/net/#Error"><code>net.Error</code></a>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/os/"><code>os</code></a> package's
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/os/#IsExist"><code>IsExist</code></a>,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/os/#IsNotExist"><code>IsNotExist</code></a>,
|
||||
and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/os/#IsPermission"><code>IsPermission</code></a>
|
||||
now return correct results when inquiring about an
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/os/#SyscallError"><code>SyscallError</code></a>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
On Unix-like systems, when a write
|
||||
to <a href="/pkg/os/#pkg-variables"><code>os.Stdout</code>
|
||||
or <code>os.Stderr</code></a> (more precisely, an <code>os.File</code>
|
||||
opened for file descriptor 1 or 2) fails due to a broken pipe error,
|
||||
the program will raise a <code>SIGPIPE</code> signal.
|
||||
By default this will cause the program to exit; this may be changed by
|
||||
calling the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/os/signal"><code>os/signal</code></a>
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/os/signal/#Notify"><code>Notify</code></a> function
|
||||
for <code>syscall.SIGPIPE</code>.
|
||||
A write to a broken pipe on a file descriptor other 1 or 2 will simply
|
||||
return <code>syscall.EPIPE</code> (possibly wrapped in
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/os#PathError"><code>os.PathError</code></a>
|
||||
and/or <a href="/pkg/os#SyscallError"><code>os.SyscallError</code></a>)
|
||||
to the caller.
|
||||
The old behavior of raising an uncatchable <code>SIGPIPE</code> signal
|
||||
after 10 consecutive writes to a broken pipe no longer occurs.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
In the <a href="/pkg/os/exec/"><code>os/exec</code></a> package,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/os/exec/#Cmd"><code>Cmd</code></a>'s
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/os/exec/#Cmd.Output"><code>Output</code></a> method continues to return an
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/os/exec/#ExitError"><code>ExitError</code></a> when a command exits with an unsuccessful status.
|
||||
If standard error would otherwise have been discarded,
|
||||
the returned <code>ExitError</code> now holds a prefix and suffix
|
||||
(currently 32 kB) of the failed command's standard error output,
|
||||
for debugging or for inclusion in error messages.
|
||||
The <code>ExitError</code>'s
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/os/exec/#ExitError.String"><code>String</code></a>
|
||||
method does not show the captured standard error;
|
||||
programs must retrieve it from the data structure
|
||||
separately.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
On Windows, the <a href="/pkg/path/filepath/"><code>path/filepath</code></a> package's
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/path/filepath/#Join"><code>Join</code></a> function now correctly handles the case when the base is a relative drive path.
|
||||
For example, <code>Join(`c:`,</code> <code>`a`)</code> now
|
||||
returns <code>`c:a`</code> instead of <code>`c:\a`</code> as in past releases.
|
||||
This may affect code that expects the incorrect result.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
In the <a href="/pkg/regexp/"><code>regexp</code></a> package,
|
||||
the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/regexp/#Regexp"><code>Regexp</code></a> type has always been safe for use by
|
||||
concurrent goroutines.
|
||||
It uses a <a href="/pkg/sync/#Mutex"><code>sync.Mutex</code></a> to protect
|
||||
a cache of scratch spaces used during regular expression searches.
|
||||
Some high-concurrency servers using the same <code>Regexp</code> from many goroutines
|
||||
have seen degraded performance due to contention on that mutex.
|
||||
To help such servers, <code>Regexp</code> now has a
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/regexp/#Regexp.Copy"><code>Copy</code></a> method,
|
||||
which makes a copy of a <code>Regexp</code> that shares most of the structure
|
||||
of the original but has its own scratch space cache.
|
||||
Two goroutines can use different copies of a <code>Regexp</code>
|
||||
without mutex contention.
|
||||
A copy does have additional space overhead, so <code>Copy</code>
|
||||
should only be used when contention has been observed.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/strconv/"><code>strconv</code></a> package adds
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/strconv/#IsGraphic"><code>IsGraphic</code></a>,
|
||||
similar to <a href="/pkg/strconv/#IsPrint"><code>IsPrint</code></a>.
|
||||
It also adds
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/strconv/#QuoteToGraphic"><code>QuoteToGraphic</code></a>,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/strconv/#QuoteRuneToGraphic"><code>QuoteRuneToGraphic</code></a>,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/strconv/#AppendQuoteToGraphic"><code>AppendQuoteToGraphic</code></a>,
|
||||
and
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/strconv/#AppendQuoteRuneToGraphic"><code>AppendQuoteRuneToGraphic</code></a>,
|
||||
analogous to
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/strconv/#QuoteToASCII"><code>QuoteToASCII</code></a>,
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/strconv/#QuoteRuneToASCII"><code>QuoteRuneToASCII</code></a>,
|
||||
and so on.
|
||||
The <code>ASCII</code> family escapes all space characters except ASCII space (U+0020).
|
||||
In contrast, the <code>Graphic</code> family does not escape any Unicode space characters (category Zs).
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
In the <a href="/pkg/testing/"><code>testing</code></a> package,
|
||||
when a test calls
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/testing/#T.Parallel">t.Parallel</a>,
|
||||
that test is paused until all non-parallel tests complete, and then
|
||||
that test continues execution with all other parallel tests.
|
||||
Go 1.6 changes the time reported for such a test:
|
||||
previously the time counted only the parallel execution,
|
||||
but now it also counts the time from the start of testing
|
||||
until the call to <code>t.Parallel</code>.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/text/template/"><code>text/template</code></a> package
|
||||
contains two minor changes, in addition to the <a href="#template">major changes</a>
|
||||
described above.
|
||||
First, it adds a new
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/text/template/#ExecError"><code>ExecError</code></a> type
|
||||
returned for any error during
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/text/template/#Template.Execute"><code>Execute</code></a>
|
||||
that does not originate in a <code>Write</code> to the underlying writer.
|
||||
Callers can distinguish template usage errors from I/O errors by checking for
|
||||
<code>ExecError</code>.
|
||||
Second, the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/text/template/#Template.Funcs"><code>Funcs</code></a> method
|
||||
now checks that the names used as keys in the
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/text/template/#FuncMap"><code>FuncMap</code></a>
|
||||
are identifiers that can appear in a template function invocation.
|
||||
If not, <code>Funcs</code> panics.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/time/"><code>time</code></a> package's
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/time/#Parse"><code>Parse</code></a> function has always rejected any day of month larger than 31,
|
||||
such as January 32.
|
||||
In Go 1.6, <code>Parse</code> now also rejects February 29 in non-leap years,
|
||||
February 30, February 31, April 31, June 31, September 31, and November 31.
|
||||

<h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The release of Go version 1, Go 1 for short, is a major milestone
|
||||
in the development of the language. Go 1 is a stable platform for
|
||||
the growth of programs and projects written in Go.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Go 1 defines two things: first, the specification of the language;
|
||||
and second, the specification of a set of core APIs, the "standard
|
||||
packages" of the Go library. The Go 1 release includes their
|
||||
implementation in the form of two compiler suites (gc and gccgo),
|
||||
and the core libraries themselves.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
It is intended that programs written to the Go 1 specification will
|
||||
continue to compile and run correctly, unchanged, over the lifetime
|
||||
of that specification. At some indefinite point, a Go 2 specification
|
||||
may arise, but until that time, Go programs that work today should
|
||||
continue to work even as future "point" releases of Go 1 arise (Go
|
||||
1.1, Go 1.2, etc.).
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Compatibility is at the source level. Binary compatibility for
|
||||
compiled packages is not guaranteed between releases. After a point
|
||||
release, Go source will need to be recompiled to link against the
|
||||
new release.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The APIs may grow, acquiring new packages and features, but not in
|
||||
a way that breaks existing Go 1 code.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="expectations">Expectations</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Although we expect that the vast majority of programs will maintain
|
||||
this compatibility over time, it is impossible to guarantee that
|
||||
no future change will break any program. This document is an attempt
|
||||
to set expectations for the compatibility of Go 1 software in the
|
||||
future. There are a number of ways in which a program that compiles
|
||||
and runs today may fail to do so after a future point release. They
|
||||
are all unlikely but worth recording.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Security. A security issue in the specification or implementation
|
||||
may come to light whose resolution requires breaking compatibility.
|
||||
We reserve the right to address such security issues.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Unspecified behavior. The Go specification tries to be explicit
|
||||
about most properties of the language, but there are some aspects
|
||||
that are undefined. Programs that depend on such unspecified behavior
|
||||
may break in future releases.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Specification errors. If it becomes necessary to address an
|
||||
inconsistency or incompleteness in the specification, resolving the
|
||||
issue could affect the meaning or legality of existing programs.
|
||||
We reserve the right to address such issues, including updating the
|
||||
implementations. Except for security issues, no incompatible changes
|
||||
to the specification would be made.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Bugs. If a compiler or library has a bug that violates the
|
||||
specification, a program that depends on the buggy behavior may
|
||||
break if the bug is fixed. We reserve the right to fix such bugs.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Struct literals. For the addition of features in later point
|
||||
releases, it may be necessary to add fields to exported structs in
|
||||
the API. Code that uses unkeyed struct literals (such as pkg.T{3,
|
||||
"x"}) to create values of these types would fail to compile after
|
||||
such a change. However, code that uses keyed literals (pkg.T{A:
|
||||
3, B: "x"}) will continue to compile after such a change. We will
|
||||
update such data structures in a way that allows keyed struct
|
||||
literals to remain compatible, although unkeyed literals may fail
|
||||
to compile. (There are also more intricate cases involving nested
|
||||
data structures or interfaces, but they have the same resolution.)
|
||||
We therefore recommend that composite literals whose type is defined
|
||||
in a separate package should use the keyed notation.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Methods. As with struct fields, it may be necessary to add methods
|
||||
to types.
|
||||
Under some circumstances, such as when the type is embedded in
|
||||
a struct along with another type,
|
||||
the addition of the new method may break
|
||||
the struct by creating a conflict with an existing method of the other
|
||||
embedded type.
|
||||
We cannot protect against this rare case and do not guarantee compatibility
|
||||
should it arise.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Dot imports. If a program imports a standard package
|
||||
using <code>import . "path"</code>, additional names defined in the
|
||||
imported package in future releases may conflict with other names
|
||||
defined in the program. We do not recommend the use of <code>import .</code>
|
||||
outside of tests, and using it may cause a program to fail
|
||||
to compile in future releases.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Use of package <code>unsafe</code>. Packages that import
|
||||
<a href="/pkg/unsafe/"><code>unsafe</code></a>
|
||||
may depend on internal properties of the Go implementation.
|
||||
We reserve the right to make changes to the implementation
|
||||
that may break such programs.
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Of course, for all of these possibilities, should they arise, we
|
||||
would endeavor whenever feasible to update the specification,
|
||||
compilers, or libraries without affecting existing code.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
These same considerations apply to successive point releases. For
|
||||
instance, code that runs under Go 1.2 should be compatible with Go
|
||||
1.2.1, Go 1.3, Go 1.4, etc., although not necessarily with Go 1.1
|
||||
since it may use features added only in Go 1.2
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Features added between releases, available in the source repository
|
||||
but not part of the numbered binary releases, are under active
|
||||
development. No promise of compatibility is made for software using
|
||||
such features until they have been released.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Finally, although it is not a correctness issue, it is possible
|
||||
that the performance of a program may be affected by
|
||||
changes in the implementation of the compilers or libraries upon
|
||||
which it depends.
|
||||
No guarantee can be made about the performance of a
|
||||
given program between releases.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Although these expectations apply to Go 1 itself, we hope similar
|
||||
considerations would be made for the development of externally
|
||||
developed software based on Go 1.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="subrepos">Sub-repositories</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Code in sub-repositories of the main go tree, such as
|
||||
<a href="//golang.org/x/net">golang.org/x/net</a>,
|
||||
may be developed under
|
||||
looser compatibility requirements. However, the sub-repositories
|
||||
will be tagged as appropriate to identify versions that are compatible
|
||||
with the Go 1 point releases.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="operating_systems">Operating systems</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
It is impossible to guarantee long-term compatibility with operating
|
||||
system interfaces, which are changed by outside parties.
|
||||
The <a href="/pkg/syscall/"><code>syscall</code></a> package
|
||||
is therefore outside the purview of the guarantees made here.
|
||||
As of Go version 1.4, the <code>syscall</code> package is frozen.
|
||||
Any evolution of the system call interface must be supported elsewhere,
|
||||
such as in the
|
||||
<a href="//golang.org/x/sys">go.sys</a> subrepository.
|
||||
For details and background, see
|
||||
<a href="//golang.org/s/go1.4-syscall">this document</a>.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="tools">Tools</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Finally, the Go toolchain (compilers, linkers, build tools, and so
|
||||
on) is under active development and may change behavior. This
|
||||
means, for instance, that scripts that depend on the location and
|
||||
properties of the tools may be broken by a point release.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
These caveats aside, we believe that Go 1 will be a firm foundation
|
||||
for the development of Go and its ecosystem.
