<h2 id="introduction">Introduction to Go 1</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
For a full explanation of the motivation and design of Go 1, see XXX.
|
|
Here follows a summary.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Go 1 is intended to be a stable language and core library set that
|
|
will form a reliable foundation for people and organizations that
|
|
want to make a long-term commitment to developing in the Go programming
|
|
language. Go will continue to develop, but in a way that guarantees
|
|
code written to the Go 1 specification will continue to work. For
|
|
instance, Go 1 will be a supported platform on Google App Engine
|
|
for the next few years. Incompatible changes to the environment,
|
|
should they arise, will be done in a distinct version.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This document describes the changes in the language and libraries
|
|
in Go 1, relative to the previous release, r60 (at the time of
|
|
writing, tagged as r60.3). It also explains how to update code at
|
|
r60 to compile and run under Go 1. Finally, it outlines the new
|
|
<code>go</code> command for building Go programs and the new binary
|
|
release process being introduced. Most of these topics have more
|
|
thorough presentations elsewhere; such documents are linked below.

<h3 id="delete">Deleting from maps</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The original syntax for deleting an element in a map was:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
m[x] = ignored, false
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In Go 1, that syntax has gone; instead there is a new built-in
|
|
function, <code>delete</code>. The call
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><!--{{code "progs/go1.go" `/delete\(m, k\)/`}}
|
|
--> delete(m, k)
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
will delete the map entry retrieved by the expression <code>m[k]</code>.
|
|
There is no return value. Deleting a non-existent entry is a no-op.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<em>Updating</em>:
|
|
Gofix will convert expressions of the form <code>m[k] = ignored,
|
|
false</code> into <code>delete(m, k)</code> when it is clear that
|
|
the ignored value can be safely discarded from the program and
|
|
<code>false</code> refers to the predefined boolean constant. Gofix
|
|
will flag other uses of the syntax for inspection by the programmer.

<h3 id="hierarchy">The package hierarchy</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Go 1 has a rearranged package hierarchy that groups related items
|
|
into subdirectories. For instance, <code>utf8</code> and
|
|
<code>utf16</code> now occupy subdirectories of <code>unicode</code>.
|
|
Also, <a href="#subrepo">some packages</a> have moved into
|
|
subrepositories of
|
|
<a href="http://code.google.com/p/go"><code>code.google.com/p/go</code></a>
|
|
while <a href="#deleted">others</a> have been deleted outright.

Note that the package names for the old <code>cmath</code> and

<code>exp/template/html</code> packages have changed to <code>cmplx</code>
|
|
and <code>template</code>.

</p>

<p>
|
|
<em>Updating</em>:
|
|
Gofix will update all imports and package renames for packages that
|
|
remain inside the standard repository. Programs that import packages
|
|
that are no longer in the standard repository will need to be edited
|
|
by hand.
