I am thinking about adding the capacity to dump the contents of chans to the utter package[1].
The code to do this is relatively straightforward[2], though it messes about with unsafe aliasing of runtime types in nasty ways. One thing that I'm not sure of is the locking that is required (I expect that the code at [2] is racy since it makes no attempt to lock the chan struct when it reads). I could copy the lock implementation from the runtime, but that adds a significant maintenance burden. Previously (when 6c was still in existence) we could do nasty things to gain access to symbols across package boundaries which now is done for the compiler with the //go:linkname directive I think. Presumably it is still possible though. Can someone point me to how I might do this? thanks Dan [1]https://github.com/kortschak/utter [2]https://play.golang.org/p/3zKYtVRGxQ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
