Hello,
while looking into how alpine linux builds golang I've found that is
patches it to make -buildmode=pie the default. I've tried to find why. I've
managed to find this thread
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/golang-nuts/pie|sort:date/golang-nuts/Jd9tlNc6jUE/Z9ldF6vPEAAJ
which seems to conclude that there is very little benefit to use pie in
golang. But then I found anothor thread (this time github ticket)
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/35192
that decided to make pie default build mode for windows. If anyone would be
so kind to find some time, I have few questions:
1. Why just windows (and not linux)?
2. Is pie useful now even in go? (the first thread is from 2012-2014)
3. Quote from
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/35192#issuecomment-548028186 :
> The bug says ASLR but really this is just about making a
position-independent binary. There are other reasons to have one of those
besides ASLR.
what are those reasons?
Thank you for your time and have a nice day,
W.
