But it does not introduce false positives. It exposes true positives. The race are still there, even if the race detector can not detect them. Note that the race detector is a heuristic. It will never find all race conditions, only the ones encountered in the actual run.
This is a great point. They are true positives. I wonder if it's possible for the -race detector (via an optional flag) to introduce random lag in order to change the execution profile. I'm thinking that this would help to flush out these true positives. Fuzz testing but specifically for race detection. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
