Re: [go-nuts] how to control the timezone of time.Now()

I believe time.Local = time.UTC is the right approach. It is true that the loc field of the time structure will be set to &UTC and not zero, but I couldn't find a path where this should generate a problem. From my point of view I would regard any issue resulting from it as a bug. Uli On Thursd

[go-nuts] Re: no replace directive allowed for "go install" ?

All replaces are disallowed when using "go install" with a version number, regardless of what kind they are; see https://github.com/golang/go/issues/40276, specifically the sections about "replace". I have a tool I'm currently rewriting that manages $GOBIN via a config file; I'm relying on "go

Hi Ian, > The argument here is that a program would only call the UTC method if it wants to change the way that those conversions work, so it presumably cares about the wall time, not monotonic time. But in those contexts, the monotonic time wouldn't make a difference - so what is the upside of s

You're right, of course. Thanks. So is it true that package level initializations (that are used) require no runtime, other than some loader time to set up? Jon On Wednesday, October 27, 2021 at 3:54:08 PM UTC-7 Ian Lance Taylor wrote: > On Wed, Oct 27, 2021 at 3:34 PM jlfo...@berkeley.edu >

Re: [go-nuts] Does, or Will, Go Support Initialized .data Segments?

I'm asking because preinitializing an executable binary, where possible, seems like an obvious optimization. I'm writing baby programs as I'm learning Go, but even they have a significant (to me) number of initializations that don't need to take up any execution time. On the other hand, modern c

Re: [go-nuts] Does GC pause affect non-go threads spawned by CGo?

The pause also tends to not be large. Except for bugs (which do exist and some of them are hard to fix) the goal on a modern fast processor is under 100 microseconds of a thread "pausing". There is a period of time where goroutines will make reduced progress as the garbage collector steals ei

[go-nuts] Does, or Will, Go Support Initialized .data Segments?

I've noticed that Go doesn't seem to support the intialized .data segment that I used to find on Unix. Is this correct? I've tried using various Go tools to find out but I'm not sure what I was seeing. If it isn't supported now, is this something planned for the future? Cordially, Jon Forrest
