It also includes the low-level type information used by the reflect package; see reflect's documentation for the programmable interface to the run-time type system. Environment Variables The following environment variables ($name or %name%, depending on the host operating system) control the run-time behavior of Go programs. The meanings and use may change from release to release. The GOGC variable sets the initial garbage collection target percentage. A collection is triggered when the ratio of freshly allocated data to live data remaining after the previous collection reaches this percentage. The default is GOGC=100. Setting GOGC=off disables the garbage collector entirely. The runtime/debug package's SetGCPercent function allows changing this percentage at run time. See http://golang.org/pkg/runtime/debug/#SetGCPercent. The GODEBUG variable controls debug output from the runtime. GODEBUG value is a comma-separated list of name=val pairs. Supported names are: gctrace: setting gctrace=1 causes the garbage collector to emit a single line to standard error at each collection, summarizing the amount of memory collected and the length of the pause. Setting gctrace=2 emits the same summary but also repeats each collection. The GOMAXPROCS variable limits the number of operating system threads that can execute user-level Go code simultaneously. There is no limit to the number of threads that can be blocked in system calls on behalf of Go code; those do not count against the GOMAXPROCS limit. This package's GOMAXPROCS function queries and changes the limit. The GOTRACEBACK variable controls the amount of output generated when a Go program fails due to an unrecovered panic or an unexpected runtime condition. By default, a failure prints a stack trace for every extant goroutine, eliding functions internal to the run-time system, and then exits with exit code 2. If GOTRACEBACK=0, the per-goroutine stack traces are omitted entirely. If GOTRACEBACK=1, the default behavior is used. If GOTRACEBACK=2, the per-goroutine stack traces include run-time functions. If GOTRACEBACK=crash, the per-goroutine stack traces include run-time functions, and if possible the program crashes in an operating-specific manner instead of exiting. For example, on Unix systems, the program raises SIGABRT to trigger a core dump. The GOARCH, GOOS, GOPATH, and GOROOT environment variables complete the set of Go environment variables. They influence the building of Go programs (see http://golang.org/cmd/go and http://golang.org/pkg/go/build). GOARCH, GOOS, and GOROOT are recorded at compile time and made available by constants or functions in this package, but they do not influence the execution of the run-time system. */ package runtime // Gosched yields the processor, allowing other goroutines to run.

This makes x reachable again, but // now without an associated finalizer. Assuming that SetFinalizer // is not called again, the next time the garbage collector sees // that x is unreachable, it will free x. // // SetFinalizer(x, nil) clears any finalizer associated with x. // // The argument x must be a pointer to an object allocated by // calling new or by taking the address of a composite literal. // The argument f must be a function that takes a single argument // of x's type and can have arbitrary ignored return values. // If either of these is not true, SetFinalizer aborts the program. // // Finalizers are run in dependency order: if A points at B, both have // finalizers, and they are otherwise unreachable, only the finalizer // for A runs; once A is freed, the finalizer for B can run. // If a cyclic structure includes a block with a finalizer, that // cycle is not guaranteed to be garbage collected and the finalizer // is not guaranteed to run, because there is no ordering that // respects the dependencies. // // The finalizer for x is scheduled to run at some arbitrary time after // x becomes unreachable. // There is no guarantee that finalizers will run before a program exits, // so typically they are useful only for releasing non-memory resources // associated with an object during a long-running program. // For example, an os.File object could use a finalizer to close the // associated operating system file descriptor when a program discards // an os.File without calling Close, but it would be a mistake // to depend on a finalizer to flush an in-memory I/O buffer such as a // bufio.Writer, because the buffer would not be flushed at program exit. // // A single goroutine runs all finalizers for a program, sequentially. // If a finalizer must run for a long time, it should do so by starting // a new goroutine. func SetFinalizer(x, f interface{}) func getgoroot() string // GOROOT returns the root of the Go tree. // It uses the GOROOT environment variable, if set, // or else the root used during the Go build. func GOROOT() string { s := getgoroot() if s != "" { return s } return defaultGoroot } // Version returns the Go tree's version string. // It is either a sequence number or, when possible, // a release tag like "release.2010-03-04". // A trailing + indicates that the tree had local modifications // at the time of the build. func Version() string { return theVersion } // GOOS is the running program's operating system target: // one of darwin, freebsd, linux, and so on. const GOOS string = theGoos // GOARCH is the running program's architecture target: // 386, amd64, or arm. const GOARCH string = theGoarch
