gccgo supports dynamic linking, but Go 1 API changes may break the ABI. Struct sizes and and field offsets are compiled into reverse dependencies, but the Go 1 API promise does not prevent changes in this area. There are ways to solve this (sizes and offsets have to be provided by the dynamic linker), but there is a performance impact. I think this has been done for GCJ. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
