Toolchain experiments are controlled by the GOEXPERIMENT environment variable. GOEXPERIMENT is a comma-separated list of experiment names. GOEXPERIMENT can be set at make.bash time, which sets the default experiments for binaries built with the tool chain; or it can be set at build time. GOEXPERIMENT can also be set to "none", which disables any experiments that were enabled at make.bash time. Experiments are exposed to the build in the following ways: - Build tag goexperiment.x is set if experiment x (lower case) is enabled. - For each experiment x (in camel case), this package contains a boolean constant x and an integer constant xInt. - In runtime assembly, the macro GOEXPERIMENT_x is defined if experiment x (lower case) is enabled. In the toolchain, the set of experiments enabled for the current build should be accessed via objabi.Experiment. The set of experiments is included in the output of runtime.Version() and "go version <binary>" if it differs from the default experiments. For the set of experiments supported by the current toolchain, see "go doc goexperiment.Flags". Note that this package defines the set of experiments (in Flags) and records the experiments that were enabled when the package was compiled (as boolean and integer constants). Note especially that this package does not itself change behavior at run time based on the GOEXPERIMENT variable. The code used in builds to interpret the GOEXPERIMENT variable is in the separate package internal/buildcfg.
Package-Level Type Names (only one, which is exported)
/* sort exporteds by: | */
Flags is the set of experiments that can be enabled or disabled in the current toolchain. When specified in the GOEXPERIMENT environment variable or as build tags, experiments use the strings.ToLower of their field name. For the baseline experimental configuration, see objabi.experimentBaseline. If you change this struct definition, run "go generate". Arenas causes the "arena" standard library package to be visible to the outside world. BoringCrypto bool CacheProg adds support to cmd/go to use a child process to implement the build cache; see https://github.com/golang/go/issues/59719. CgoCheck2 enables an expensive cgo rule checker. When this experiment is enabled, cgo rule checks occur regardless of the GODEBUG=cgocheck setting provided at runtime. CoverageRedesign enables the new compiler-based code coverage tooling. FieldTrack bool HeapMinimum512KiB reduces the minimum heap size to 512 KiB. This was originally reduced as part of PacerRedesign, but has been broken out to its own experiment that is disabled by default. LoopVar changes loop semantics so that each iteration gets its own copy of the iteration variable. PageTrace enables GODEBUG=pagetrace=/path/to/result. This feature is a GOEXPERIMENT due to a security risk with setuid binaries: this compels the Go runtime to write to some arbitrary file, which may be exploited. PreemptibleLoops bool RegabiArgs enables register arguments/results in all compiled Go functions. Requires wrappers (to do ABI translation), and reflect (so reflection calls use registers). RegabiWrappers enables ABI wrappers for calling between ABI0 and ABIInternal functions. Without this, the ABIs are assumed to be identical so cross-ABI calls are direct. StaticLockRanking bool
