The code: package concat
import ( "testing" ) var s33 = []byte{32: 'b'} var a = string(s33) func Benchmark_e_33(b *testing.B) { for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ { _ = a + a // a + a does not escape } } "go test -gcflags=-m" shows: a + a does not escape but "go test -bench=. -benchmem" shows: Benchmark_e_33-4 16544446 68.35 ns/op 80 B/op 1 allocs/op In my impression, memory blocks allocated on stack are not counted in the bench result. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
