I believe these are fantastic choices. I have given two presentations to Go meetups about the draft generics design in the last month. The second time was after the square bracket idea was added to the prototype and someone suggested the other parts adopted in item #1. In that second

go run works now too and pulls in all the files in the package at so "go run ." is a nice shortcut that works more like the other subcommands of the go tool. On Thursday, October 24, 2019 at 8:17:54 AM UTC-4, Guy Allard wrote: > > Use: > > go run *.go > > or > > go build *.go > > > On

2019-10-07 Thread Chris Hines
I am pretty sure that a "proc" in the trace visualization output is the same as a "P" in the parlance of the Go runtime scheduler. In the scheduler an OS thread is an "M" and even when using LockOSThread the locked goroutine and thread need to be paired up with one of the scheduler's Ps in

Re: [go-nuts] Cross compiling from Windows to Linux produces non-working go routines

2017-03-08 Thread Chris Hines
The infinite loops in each function will busy loop and consume a core without allowing the runtime scheduler a chance to run other goroutines on that core. If your virtual machine doesn't have enough cores then some goroutines may starve. Change the loops to select {} to block infinitely

[go-nuts] Re: Can somebody explain the importance of 'select'?

2017-01-19 Thread Chris Hines
I believe the primary reason why select must be in the language is because it integrates tightly with goroutine scheduling to efficiently block, and then wake up when one of its channel operations can complete. On Thursday, January 19, 2017 at 12:33:38 PM UTC-5, John C. wrote: > > On several

Suppose instead of `json:"s,string"` you had typed `json:"s,omitemptyy"` when you meant to type `json:"s,omitempty"`. Would you want to be told that you had an error in your struct tag? In general Go has a fail-fast philosophy to help prevent mistakes from persisting in a system unnoticed for

[go-nuts] Re: Will database/sql leak memory if I don't call Close() and remove references to it?

2016-11-01 Thread Chris Hines
Slight improvement: 1. Rotate usernames/passwords and call sql.Open(...) to get a new connection pool for future queries. (Save old pool in oldDB.) 2. Call oldDB.SetMaxIdleConns(-1), which will immediately close any unused connections in the old pool and cause those in use to be closed as soon

Re: [go-nuts] Will database/sql leak memory if I don't call Close() and remove references to it?

2016-11-01 Thread Chris Hines
db.SetMaxIdleConns(-1) will flush cached connections. That leaves the problem that open connections still in use will not get closed until returned to the pool, and only if caching idle connections is still disabled at that time. Changing credentials on an already open *sql.DB isn't directly
