Hi I am studying golang source code, literally `go/src/runtime/chan.go`, the question is in function `makechan`, when it comes to malloc memory for channel with/without pointers, you guys did it as:
case elem.kind&kindNoPointers != 0: // Elements do not contain pointers. // Allocate hchan and buf in one call. c = (*hchan)(mallocgc(hchanSize+uintptr(size)*elem.size, nil, true)) c.buf = add(unsafe.Pointer(c), hchanSize) default: // Elements contain pointers. c = new(hchan) c.buf = mallocgc(uintptr(size)*elem.size, elem, true) So, my question is why to use two different ways to do this, (continuous vs separated) ? and what's the difference/relationship between malloc and new? Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
