The names of local variables on the stack are recorded only the debug information, which is not loaded into memory. You would need to locate the binary, open it, and look at the debug info. Getting a local variable name from the debug info is complex, but Delve and gdb manage to do it. That is, getting the names of local variables is technically possible but quite hard. I wouldn't recommend this approach. Ian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
