<h2 id="introduction">DRAFT RELEASE NOTES - Introduction to Go 1.10</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>
|
|
Go 1.10 is not yet released. These are work-in-progress
|
|
release notes. Go 1.10 is expected to be released in February 2018.
|
|
</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The latest Go release, version 1.10, arrives six months after <a href="go1.9">go1.9</a>.
|
|
Most of its changes are in the implementation of the toolchain, runtime, and libraries.
|
|
As always, the release maintains the Go 1 <a href="/doc/go1compat.html">promise of compatibility</a>.
|
|
We expect almost all Go programs to continue to compile and run as before.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
OVERVIEW HERE
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="language">Changes to the language</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are no substantive changes to the language.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 60230 -->
|
|
A corner case involving shifts by untyped constants has been clarified,
|
|
and as a result the compilers have been updated to allow the index expression
|
|
<code>x[1.0</code> <code><<</code> <code>s]</code> where <code>s</code> is an untyped constant;
|
|
the <a href="/pkg/go/types/">go/types</a> package already did.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 73233 -->
|
|
The grammar for method expressions has been updated to relax the
|
|
syntax to allow any type expression as a receiver;
|
|
this matches what the compilers were already implementing.
|
|
For example, <code>struct{io.Reader}.Read</code> is a valid, if unusual,
|
|
method expression that the compilers already accepted and is
|
|
now permitted by the language grammar.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="ports">Ports</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are no new supported operating systems or processor architectures in this release.
|
|
Most of the work has focused on strengthening the support for existing ports,
|
|
in particular <a href="#asm">new instructions in the assembler</a>
|
|
and improvements to the code generated by the compilers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="tools">Tools</h2>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="goroot">Default GOROOT & GOTMPDIR</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
TODO: default GOROOT changes in cmd/go
|
|
TODO: computed GOROOT change
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
By default, the go tool creates its temporary files and directories
|
|
in the system temporary directory (for example, <code>$TMPDIR</code> on Unix).
|
|
If the new environment variable <code>$GOTMPDIR</code> is set,
|
|
the go tool will creates its temporary files and directories in that directory instead.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="build">Build & Install</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code>go</code> <code>build</code> command now detects out-of-date packages
|
|
purely based on the content of source files, specified build flags, and metadata stored in the compiled packages.
|
|
Modification times are no longer consulted or relevant.
|
|
The old advice to add <code>-a</code> to force a rebuild in cases where
|
|
the modification times were misleading for one reason or another
|
|
(for example, changes in build flags) is no longer necessary:
|
|
builds now always detect when packages must be rebuilt.
|
|
(If you observe otherwise, please file a bug.)
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code>go</code> <code>build</code> <code>-asmflags</code>, <code>-gcflags</code>, <code>-gccgoflags</code>, and <code>-ldflags</code> options
|
|
now apply by default only to the packages listed directly on the command line.
|
|
For example, <code>go</code> <code>build</code> <code>-gcflags=-m</code> <code>mypkg</code>
|
|
passes the compiler the <code>-m</code> flag when building <code>mypkg</code>
|
|
but not its dependencies.
|
|
The new, more general form <code>-asmflags=pattern=flags</code> (and similarly for the others)
|
|
applies the <code>flags</code> only to the packages matching the pattern.
|
|
For example: <code>go</code> <code>install</code> <code>-ldflags=cmd/gofmt=-X=main.version=1.2.3</code> <code>cmd/...</code>
|
|
installs all the commands matching <code>cmd/...</code> but only applies the <code>-X</code> option
|
|
to the linker flags for <code>cmd/gofmt</code>.
|
|
For more details, see <a href="TODO"><code>go</code> <code>help</code> <code>build</code></a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code>go</code> <code>build</code> command now maintains a cache of
|
|
recently built packages, separate from the installed packages in <code>$GOROOT/pkg</code> or <code>$GOPATH/pkg</code>.
|
|
The effect of the cache should be to speed builds that do not explicitly install packages
|
|
or when switching between different copies of source code (for example, when changing
|
|
back and forth between different branches in a version control system).
|
|
The old advice to add the <code>-i</code> flag for speed, as in <code>go</code> <code>build</code> <code>-i</code>
|
|
or <code>go</code> <code>test</code> <code>-i</code>,
|
|
is no longer necessary: builds run just as fast without <code>-i</code>.
|
|
For more details, see <a href="TODO"><code>go</code> <code>help</code> <code>cache</code></a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code>go</code> </code>install</code> command now installs only the
|
|
packages and commands listed directly on the command line.
|
|
For example, <code>go</code> <code>install</code> <code>cmd/gofmt</code>
|
|
installs the gofmt program but not any of the packages on which it depends.
|
|
The new build cache makes future commands still run as quickly as if the
|
|
dependencies had been installed.
|
|
To force the installation of dependencies, use the new
|
|
<code>go</code> <code>install</code> <code>-i</code> flag.
|
|
Installing dependencies should not be necessary in general,
|
|
and the very concept or installed packages may disappear in a future release.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Many details of the <code>go</code> <code>build</code> implementation have changed to support these improvements.
|
|
One new requirement implied by these changes is that
|
|
binary-only packages must now declare accurate import blocks in their
|
|
stub source code, so that those imports can be made available when
|
|
linking a program using the binary-only package.
|
|
For more details, see <a href="TODO"><code>go</code> <code>help</code> <code>filetype</code></a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="test">Test</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code>go</code> <code>test</code> command now caches test results:
|
|
if the test executable and command line match a previous run
|
|
and the files and environment variables consulted by that run
|
|
have not changed either, <code>go</code> <code>test</code> will print
|
|
the previous test output, replacing the elapsed time with the string “(cached).”
|
|
Test caching applies only to successful test results;
|
|
only to <code>go</code> <code>test</code>
|
|
commands with an explicit list of packages; and
|
|
only to command lines using a subset of the
|
|
<code>-cpu</code>, <code>-list</code>, <code>-parallel</code>,
|
|
<code>-run</code>, <code>-short</code>, and <code>-v</code> test flags.
|
|
The idiomatic way to bypass test caching is to use <code>-count=1</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code>go</code> <code>test</code> command now automatically runs
|
|
<code>go</code> <code>vet</code> on the package being tested,
|
|
to identify significant problems before running the test.
|
|
Any such problems are treated like build errors and prevent execution of the test.
|
|
Only a high-confidence subset of the available <code>go</code> <code>vet</code>
|
|
checks are enabled for this automatic check.
|
|
To disable the running of <code>go</code> <code>vet</code>, use
|
|
<code>go</code> <code>test</code> <code>-vet=off</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code>go</code> <code>test</code> <code>-coverpkg</code> flag now
|
|
interprets its argument as a comma-separated list of patterns to match against
|
|
the dependencies of each test, not as a list of packages to load anew.
|
|
For example, <code>go</code> <code>test</code> <code>-coverpkg=all</code>
|
|
is now a meaningful way to run a test with coverage enabled for the test package
|
|
and all its dependencies.
|
|
Also, the <code>go</code> <code>test</code> <code>-coverprofile</code> option is now
|
|
supported when running multiple tests.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In case of failure due to timeout, tests are now more likely to write their profiles before exiting.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code>go</code> <code>test</code> command now always
|
|
merges the standard output and standard error from a given test binary execution
|
|
and writes both to <code>go</code> <code>test</code>'s standard output.
|
|
In past releases, <code>go</code> <code>test</code> only applied this
|
|
merging most of the time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code>go</code> <code>test</code> <code>-v</code> output
|
|
now includes <code>PAUSE</code> and <code>CONT</code> status update
|
|
lines to make clearer when <a href="/pkg/testing/#T.Parallel">parallel tests</a> pause and continue.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Finally, the new <code>go</code> <code>test</code> <code>-json</code> flag
|
|
filters test output through the new command
|
|
<code>go</code> <code>tool</code> <code>test2json</code>
|
|
to produce a machine-readable JSON-formatted description of test execution.
|
|
This should allow the creation of rich presentations of test execution
|
|
in IDEs and other tools.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
For more details about all these changes,
|
|
see <a href="TODO"><code>go</code> <code>help</code> <code>test</code></a>
|
|
and the <a href="/cmd/test2json/">test2json documentation</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="cgo">Cgo</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Cgo now implements a C typedef like “<code>typedef</code> <code>X</code> <code>Y</code>;” using a Go type alias,
|
|
so that Go code may use the types <code>C.X</code> and <code>C.Y</code> interchangeably.
|
|
It also now supports the use of niladic function-like macros.
|
|
Also, the documentation has been updated to clarify that
|
|
Go structs and Go arrays are not supported in the type signatures of cgo-exported functions.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
During toolchain bootstrap, the environment variables <code>CC</code> and <code>CC_FOR_TARGET</code> specify
|
|
the default C compiler that the resulting toolchain will use for host and target builds, respectively.
|
|
However, if the toolchain will be used with multiple targets, it may be necessary to specify a different C compiler for each
|
|
(for example, a different compiler for <code>darwin/arm64</code> versus <code>linux/ppc64le</code>).
|
|
The new set of environment variables <code>CC_FOR_<i>goos</i>_<i>goarch</i></code>
|
|
allows specifying a different default C compiler for each target.
|
|
Note that these variables only apply during toolchain bootstrap,
|
|
to set the defaults used by the resulting toolchain.
|
|
Later <code>go</code> <code>build</code> commands refer to the <code>CC</code> environment
|
|
variable or else the built-in default.
|
|
For more details, see the <a href="/cmd/cgo/">cgo documentation</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="doc">Doc</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code>go</code> <code>doc</code> tool now adds functions returning slices of <code>T</code> or <code>*T</code>
|
|
to the display of type <code>T</code>, similar to the existing behavior for functions returning single <code>T</code> or <code>*T</code> results.
|
|
For example:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
$ go doc mail.Address
|
|
package mail // import "net/mail"
|
|
|
|
type Address struct {
|
|
Name string
|
|
Address string
|
|
}
|
|
Address represents a single mail address.
|
|
|
|
func ParseAddress(address string) (*Address, error)
|
|
func ParseAddressList(list string) ([]*Address, error)
|
|
func (a *Address) String() string
|
|
$
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Previously, <code>ParseAddressList</code> was only shown in the package overview (<code>go</code> <code>doc</code> <code>mail</code>).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="fix">Fix</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code>go</code> <code>fix</code> tool now replaces imports of <code>"golang.org/x/net/context"</code>
|
|
with <code>"context"</code>.
|
|
(Forwarding aliases in the former make it completely equivalent to the latter when using Go 1.9 or later.)
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="get">Get</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code>go</code> <code>get</code> command now supports Fossil source code repositories.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="pprof">Pprof</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The blocking and mutex profiles produced by the <code>runtime/pprof</code> package
|
|
now include symbol information, so they can be viewed
|
|
in <code>go</code> <code>tool</code> <code>pprof</code>
|
|
without the binary that produced the profile.
|
|
(All other profile types were changed to include symbol information in Go 1.9.)
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <a href="/cmd/pprof/"><code>go</code> <code>tool</code> <code>pprof</code></a> profile visualizer has been updated to
|
|
the latest version from <a href="https://github.com/google/pprof">github.com/google/pprof</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="vet">Vet</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <a href="/cmd/pprof/"><code>go</code> <code>vet</code></a> command now always has access to
|
|
complete, up-to-date type information when checking packages, even for packages using cgo or vendored imports.
|
|
The reports should be more accurate as a result.
|
|
Note that only <code>go</code> <code>vet</code> has access to this information;
|
|
the more low-level <code>go</code> <code>tool</code> <code>vet</code> does not
|
|
and should be avoided except when working on <code>vet</code> itself.
|
|
(As of Go 1.9, <code>go</code> <code>vet</code> provides access to all the same flags as
|
|
<code>go</code> <code>tool</code> <code>vet</code>.)
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="diag">Diagnostics</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This release includes a new <a href="/doc/diagnostics.html">overview of available Go program diagnostic tools</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="gofmt">Gofmt</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
A few minor details of the default formatting of Go source code have changed.
|
|
First, some complex three-index slice expressions previously formatted like
|
|
<code>x[i+1</code> <code>:</code> <code>j:k]</code> and now
|
|
format with more consistent spacing: <code>x[i+1</code> <code>:</code> <code>j</code> <code>:</code> <code>k]</code>.
|
|
Second, single-method interface literals written on a single line,
|
|
which are sometimes used in type assertions,
|
|
are no longer split onto multiple lines.
|
|
Third, blank lines following an opening brace are now always elided.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that these kinds of minor updates to gofmt are expected from time to time.
|
|
In general, we recommend against building systems that check that source code
|
|
matches the output of a specific version of gofmt.
|
|
For example, a continuous integration test that fails if any code already checked into
|
|
a repository is not “properly formatted” is inherently fragile and not recommended.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If multiple programs must agree about which version of gofmt is used to format a source file,
|
|
we recommend that they do this by arranging to invoke the same gofmt binary.
|
|
For example, in the Go open source repository, we arrange for goimports and
|
|
our Git pre-commit hook to agree about source code formatting by having both
|
|
invoke the gofmt binary found in the current path.
|
|
TODO: Make goimports actually do that. #22695.
|
|
As another example, inside Google we arrange that source code presubmit
|
|
checks run a gofmt binary maintained at a fixed path in a shared, distributed file system;
|
|
that on engineering workstations <code>/usr/bin/gofmt</code>
|
|
is a symbolic link to that same path;
|
|
and that all editor integrations used for Google development
|
|
explicitly invoke /usr/bin/gofmt.
|
|
TODO: TMI?
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="compiler">Compiler Toolchain</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The compiler includes many improvements to the performance of generated code,
|
|
spread fairly evenly across the supported architectures.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
TODO: What to say about DWARF work, if anything?
|
|
Global constants (CL 61019), variable decomposition (CL 50878), variable liveness and location lists (CL 41770), more?
|
|
What is enabled by default?
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
TODO: What to say about FMA, if anything?
|
|
The spec change was mentioned in Go 1.9 but I am not sure whether any new architectures turned it on in Go 1.10.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The various <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nr-TQHw_er6GOQRsF6T43GGhFDelrAP0NqSS_00RgZQ/edit">build modes</a>
|
|
has been ported to more systems.
|
|
Specifically, <code>c-shared</code> now works on <code>linux/ppc64le</code>, <code>windows/386</code>, and <code>windows/amd64</code>;
|
|
<code>pie</code> now works on <code>darwin/amd64</code> and also forces the use of external linking on all systems;
|
|
and <code>plugin</code> now works on <code>linux/ppc64le</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code>linux/ppc64le</code> port now requires the use of external linking
|
|
with any programs that use cgo, even uses by the standard library.

controls which tar header format the <a href="/pkg/archive/tar/#Writer"><code>Writer</code></a> uses.
|

The default, as before, is to select the most widely-supported header type
|
|
that can encoding the fields needed by the header (USTAR if possible, or else PAX if possible, or else GNU).
|
|
The <a href="/pkg/archive/tar/#Reader"><code>Reader</code></a> sets <code>Header.Format</code> for each header it reads.

</p>
|
|
<p>
|

<code>Reader</code> and the <code>Writer</code> now support PAX records,

|
|
be valid UTF-8.

When writing PAX- or GNU-format headers, the <code>Writer</code> now includes

Go 1.10 adds more complete support for times and character set encodings in ZIP archives.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The original ZIP format used the standard MS-DOS encoding of year, month, day, hour, minute, and second into fields in two 16-bit values.
|
|
That encoding cannot represent time zones or odd seconds, so multiple extensions have been
|
|
introduced to allow richer encodings.
|
|
In Go 1.10, the <a href="/pkg/archive/zip/#Reader"><code>Reader</code></a> and <a href="/pkg/archive/zip/#Writer"><code>Writer</code></a>
|
|
now support the widely-understood Info-Zip extension that encodes the time separately in the 32-bit Unix “seconds since epoch” form.
|
|
The <a href="/pkg/archive/zip/#FileHeader"><code>FileHeader</code></a>'s new <code>Modified</code> field of type <a href="/pkg/time/#Time"><code>time.Time</code></a>
|
|
obsoletes the <code>ModifiedTime</code> and <code>ModifiedDate</code> fields, which continue to hold the MS-DOS encoding.
|
|
The <a href="/pkg/archive/zip/#FileHeader.ModTime"><code>ModTime</code></a> and
|
|
<a href="/pkg/archive/zip/#FileHeader.SetModTime"><code>SetModTime</code></a> methods
|
|
now simply read and write the new <code>Modified</code> field.
|
|
The <code>Reader</code> and <code>Writer</code> now adopt the common
|
|
convention that ZIP archive storing the Unix time encoding store the local time
|
|
in the MS-DOS field, so that the time zone offset can be inferred.
|
|
TODO: These last bits are not true but probably should be (#22738)
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The header for each file in a ZIP archive has a flag bit indicating whether
|
|
the name and comment fields are encoded as UTF-8, as opposed to a system-specific default encoding.
|
|
In Go 1.8 and earlier, the <code>Writer</code> never set the UTF-8 bit.
|
|
In Go 1.9, the <code>Writer</code> changed to set the UTF-8 bit almost always.
|
|
This broke the creation of ZIP archives containing Shift-JIS file names.
|
|
In Go 1.10, the <code>Writer</code> now sets the UTF-8 bit only when
|
|
both the name and the comment field are valid UTF-8 and at least one is non-ASCII.
|
|
Because non-ASCII encodings very rarely look like valid UTF-8, the new
|
|
heuristic should be correct nearly all the time.
|
|
Setting a <code>FileHeader</code>'s new <code>NonUTF8</code> field to true
|
|
disables the heuristic entirely for that file.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <code>Writer</code> also now support setting the end-of-central-directory record's comment field,
|
|
by setting the <code>Writer</code>'s new <code>Comment</code> field
|
|
before calling the <a href="/pkg/archive/zip/#Writer.Close"><code>Close</code></a> method.

<a href="/pkg/net/url/#ResolveReference"><code>ResolveReference</code></a>

now preseves multiple leading slashes in the target URL.
|
|
Previously it rewrote multiple leading slashes to a single slash,
|
|
which resulted in the <a href="/pkg/net/http/#Client"><code>http.Client</code></a>
|
|
following certain redirects incorrectly.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
For example, this code's output has changed:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
base, _ := url.Parse("http://host//path//to/page1")
|
|
target, _ := url.Parse("page2")
|
|
fmt.Println(base.ResolveReference(target))
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note the doubled slashes around <code>path</code>.
|
|
In Go 1.9 and earlier, the resolved URL was <code>http://host/path//to/page2</code>:
|
|
the doubled slash before <code>path</code> was incorrectly rewritten
|
|
to a single slash, while the doubled slash after <code>path</code> was
|
|
correctly preserved.
|
|
Go 1.10 preserves both doubled slashes, resolving to <code>http://host//path//to/page2</code>
|
|
as required by <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-5.2">RFC 3986</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This change may break existing buggy programs that unintentionally
|
|
construct a base URL with a leading doubled slash in the path and inadvertently
|
|
depend on <code>ResolveReference</code> to correct that mistake.
|
|
For example, this can happen if code adds a host prefix
|
|
like <code>http://host/</code> to a path like <code>/my/api</code>,
|
|
resulting in a URL with a doubled slash: <code>http://host//my/api</code>.
