It also includes the low-level type information used by the reflect package; see reflect's documentation for the programmable interface to the run-time type system. Environment Variables The following environment variables ($name or %name%, depending on the host operating system) control the run-time behavior of Go programs. The meanings and use may change from release to release. The GOGC variable sets the initial garbage collection target percentage. A collection is triggered when the ratio of freshly allocated data to live data remaining after the previous collection reaches this percentage. The default is GOGC=100. Setting GOGC=off disables the garbage collector entirely. The runtime/debug package's SetGCPercent function allows changing this percentage at run time. See http://golang.org/pkg/runtime/debug/#SetGCPercent. The GODEBUG variable controls debug output from the runtime. GODEBUG value is a comma-separated list of name=val pairs. Supported names are: gctrace: setting gctrace=1 causes the garbage collector to emit a single line to standard error at each collection, summarizing the amount of memory collected and the length of the pause. Setting gctrace=2 emits the same summary but also repeats each collection. schedtrace: setting schedtrace=X causes the scheduler to emit a single line to standard error every X milliseconds, summarizing the scheduler state. scheddetail: setting schedtrace=X and scheddetail=1 causes the scheduler to emit detailed multiline info every X milliseconds, describing state of the scheduler, processors, threads and goroutines. The GOMAXPROCS variable limits the number of operating system threads that can execute user-level Go code simultaneously. There is no limit to the number of threads that can be blocked in system calls on behalf of Go code; those do not count against the GOMAXPROCS limit. This package's GOMAXPROCS function queries and changes the limit. The GOTRACEBACK variable controls the amount of output generated when a Go program fails due to an unrecovered panic or an unexpected runtime condition. By default, a failure prints a stack trace for every extant goroutine, eliding functions internal to the run-time system, and then exits with exit code 2. If GOTRACEBACK=0, the per-goroutine stack traces are omitted entirely. If GOTRACEBACK=1, the default behavior is used. If GOTRACEBACK=2, the per-goroutine stack traces include run-time functions. If GOTRACEBACK=crash, the per-goroutine stack traces include run-time functions, and if possible the program crashes in an operating-specific manner instead of exiting. For example, on Unix systems, the program raises SIGABRT to trigger a core dump. The GOARCH, GOOS, GOPATH, and GOROOT environment variables complete the set of Go environment variables. They influence the building of Go programs (see http://golang.org/cmd/go and http://golang.org/pkg/go/build). GOARCH, GOOS, and GOROOT are recorded at compile time and made available by constants or functions in this package, but they do not influence the execution of the run-time system. */ package runtime // Gosched yields the processor, allowing other goroutines to run. It does not // suspend the current goroutine, so execution resumes automatically. func Gosched() // Goexit terminates the goroutine that calls it. No other goroutine is affected. // Goexit runs all deferred calls before terminating the goroutine. func Goexit() // Caller reports file and line number information about function invocations on // the calling goroutine's stack. The argument skip is the number of stack frames // to ascend, with 0 identifying the caller of Caller. (For historical reasons the // meaning of skip differs between Caller and Callers.)

The boolean ok is false if it was not possible to recover the information. func Caller(skip int) (pc uintptr, file string, line int, ok bool) // Callers fills the slice pc with the program counters of function invocations // on the calling goroutine's stack. The argument skip is the number of stack frames // to skip before recording in pc, with 0 identifying the frame for Callers itself and // 1 identifying the caller of Callers. // It returns the number of entries written to pc. func Callers(skip int, pc []uintptr) int type Func struct { opaque struct{} // unexported field to disallow conversions } // FuncForPC returns a *Func describing the function that contains the // given program counter address, or else nil. func FuncForPC(pc uintptr) *Func // Name returns the name of the function. func (f *Func) Name() string { return funcname_go(f) } // Entry returns the entry address of the function. func (f *Func) Entry() uintptr { return funcentry_go(f) } // FileLine returns the file name and line number of the // source code corresponding to the program counter pc. // The result will not be accurate if pc is not a program // counter within f. func (f *Func) FileLine(pc uintptr) (file string, line int) { return funcline_go(f, pc) } // implemented in symtab.c func funcline_go(*Func, uintptr) (string, int) func funcname_go(*Func) string func funcentry_go(*Func) uintptr // SetFinalizer sets the finalizer associated with x to f. // When the garbage collector finds an unreachable block // with an associated finalizer, it clears the association and runs // f(x) in a separate goroutine. This makes x reachable again, but // now without an associated finalizer. Assuming that SetFinalizer // is not called again, the next time the garbage collector sees // that x is unreachable, it will free x. // // SetFinalizer(x, nil) clears any finalizer associated with x. // // The argument x must be a pointer to an object allocated by // calling new or by taking the address of a composite literal. // The argument f must be a function that takes a single argument // to which x's type can be assigned, and can have arbitrary ignored return // values. If either of these is not true, SetFinalizer aborts the // program. // // Finalizers are run in dependency order: if A points at B, both have // finalizers, and they are otherwise unreachable, only the finalizer // for A runs; once A is freed, the finalizer for B can run. // If a cyclic structure includes a block with a finalizer, that // cycle is not guaranteed to be garbage collected and the finalizer // is not guaranteed to run, because there is no ordering that // respects the dependencies. // // The finalizer for x is scheduled to run at some arbitrary time after // x becomes unreachable. // There is no guarantee that finalizers will run before a program exits, // so typically they are useful only for releasing non-memory resources // associated with an object during a long-running program. // For example, an os.File object could use a finalizer to close the // associated operating system file descriptor when a program discards // an os.File without calling Close, but it would be a mistake // to depend on a finalizer to flush an in-memory I/O buffer such as a // bufio.Writer, because the buffer would not be flushed at program exit. // // A single goroutine runs all finalizers for a program, sequentially. // If a finalizer must run for a long time, it should do so by starting // a new goroutine. func SetFinalizer(x, f interface{}) func getgoroot() string // GOROOT returns the root of the Go tree. // It uses the GOROOT environment variable, if set, // or else the root used during the Go build. func GOROOT() string { s := getgoroot() if s != "" { return s } return defaultGoroot } // Version returns the Go tree's version string. // It is either a sequence number or, when possible, // a release tag like "release.2010-03-04". // A trailing + indicates that the tree had local modifications // at the time of the build. func Version() string { return theVersion } // GOOS is the running program's operating system target: // one of darwin, freebsd, linux, and so on. const GOOS string = theGoos // GOARCH is the running program's architecture target: // 386, amd64, or arm. const GOARCH string = theGoarch
