The Go programming language

The implemetation describes each value as a string identifying the concrete type of the value, followed by the usual encoding of that value. All types to be exchanged as contents of interface values must be registered ahead of time with the new Register function. Although this would not seem strictly necessary, the linker garbage collects unused types so without some mechanism to guarantee the type exists in the binary, there could be unpleasant surprises. Moreover, the receiver needs a reflect.Type of the value to be written in order to be able to save the data. A Register function seems necessary. The implementation may require defining types in the middle of of sending a value. The old code never did this. Therefore there has been some refactoring to make the encoder and decoder work recursively. This change changes the internal type IDs. Existing gob archives will break with this change. Apologies for that. If this is a deal breaker it should be possible to create a conversion tool. Error handling is too complicated in this code. A subsequent change should clean it up.

This is the source code repository for the Go programming language. For documentation about how to install and use Go, visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install.html in your web browser. After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted doc/install.html by running godoc --http=:6060 and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install.html. Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file. -- Binary Distribution Notes If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this README). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path. For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile: export GOROOT=$HOME/go export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin See doc/install.html for more details.
