Do you mean bugs due to the *old* behaviour? You're quite right, the first they may be aware is when a security hole is uncovered, for example: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1619047 The proposed semantic change is expected to fix such hidden bugs, whilst being considered unlikely to introduce new ones - but the GOEXPERIMENT flag is a way to test this hypothesis (across codebases which *do* have good test coverage) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
