In Go 1.15 we switched the default linking mode for PIE on
Linux/AMD64 and Linux/ARM64 to internal linking. Clarify that
the previous behavior (external linking) can still be used with
a flag.
Updates #40719.

|
|
<p>
|
|
The latest Go release, version 1.15, arrives six months after <a href="go1.14">Go 1.14</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>
|
|
Go 1.15 includes <a href="#linker">substantial improvements to the linker</a>,
|
|
improves <a href="#runtime">allocation for small objects at high core counts</a>, and
|
|
deprecates <a href="#commonname">X.509 CommonName</a>.
|
|
<code>GOPROXY</code> now supports skipping proxies that return errors and
|
|
a new <a href="#time/tzdata">embedded tzdata package</a> has been added.

When linking binaries for Android, Go 1.15 explicitly selects
|
|
the <code>lld</code> linker available in recent versions of the NDK.
|
|
The <code>lld</code> linker avoids crashes on some devices, and is

There has been progress in improving the stability and performance

Go 1.15 is the last release to support x87-only floating-point
|
|
hardware (<code>GO386=387</code>). Future releases will require at
|
|
least SSE2 support on 386, raising Go's
|
|
minimum <code>GOARCH=386</code> requirement to the Intel Pentium 4
|
|
(released in 2000) or AMD Opteron/Athlon 64 (released in 2003).

|
|
The <code>GOPROXY</code> environment variable now supports skipping proxies
|
|
that return errors. Proxy URLs may now be separated with either commas
|
|
(<code>,</code>) or pipe characters (<code>|</code>). If a proxy URL is
|
|
followed by a comma, the <code>go</code> command will only try the next proxy
|
|
in the list after a 404 or 410 HTTP response. If a proxy URL is followed by a
|
|
pipe character, the <code>go</code> command will try the next proxy in the
|
|
list after any error. Note that the default value of <code>GOPROXY</code>
|
|
remains <code>https://proxy.golang.org,direct</code>, which does not fall
|
|
back to <code>direct</code> in case of errors.

<p><!-- https://golang.org/cl/211358 -->
|
|
Various flag parsing issues in <code>go</code> <code>test</code> and
|
|
<code>go</code> <code>vet</code> have been fixed. Notably, flags specified
|
|
in <code>GOFLAGS</code> are handled more consistently, and
|
|
the <code>-outputdir</code> flag now interprets relative paths relative to the

|
working directory of the <code>go</code> command (rather than the working
|
|
directory of each individual test).

<h4 id="module-cache">Module cache</h4>
|

<p><!-- https://golang.org/cl/219538 -->
|
|
The location of the module cache may now be set with
|
|
the <code>GOMODCACHE</code> environment variable. The default value of
|
|
<code>GOMODCACHE</code> is <code>GOPATH[0]/pkg/mod</code>, the location of the
|
|
module cache before this change.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- https://golang.org/cl/221157 -->
|
|
A workaround is now available for Windows "Access is denied" errors in
|
|
<code>go</code> commands that access the module cache, caused by external
|
|
programs concurrently scanning the file system (see
|
|
<a href="https://golang.org/issue/36568">issue #36568</a>). The workaround is
|
|
not enabled by default because it is not safe to use when Go versions lower
|
|
than 1.14.2 and 1.13.10 are running concurrently with the same module cache.
|
|
It can be enabled by explicitly setting the environment variable
|
|
<code>GODEBUG=modcacheunzipinplace=1</code>.

<h3 id="vet">Vet</h3>

|
<h4 id="vet-string-int">New warning for string(x)</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 212919, 232660 -->
|
|
The vet tool now warns about conversions of the
|
|
form <code>string(x)</code> where <code>x</code> has an integer type
|
|
other than <code>rune</code> or <code>byte</code>.
|
|
Experience with Go has shown that many conversions of this form
|
|
erroneously assume that <code>string(x)</code> evaluates to the
|
|
string representation of the integer <code>x</code>.
|
|
It actually evaluates to a string containing the UTF-8 encoding of
|
|
the value of <code>x</code>.
|
|
For example, <code>string(9786)</code> does not evaluate to the
|
|
string <code>"9786"</code>; it evaluates to the
|
|
string <code>"\xe2\x98\xba"</code>, or <code>"☺"</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Code that is using <code>string(x)</code> correctly can be rewritten
|
|
to <code>string(rune(x))</code>.
|
|
Or, in some cases, calling <code>utf8.EncodeRune(buf, x)</code> with
|
|
a suitable byte slice <code>buf</code> may be the right solution.
|
|
Other code should most likely use <code>strconv.Itoa</code>
|
|
or <code>fmt.Sprint</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This new vet check is enabled by default when
|
|
using <code>go</code> <code>test</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
We are considering prohibiting the conversion in a future release of Go.
|
|
That is, the language would change to only
|
|
permit <code>string(x)</code> for integer <code>x</code> when the
|
|
type of <code>x</code> is <code>rune</code> or <code>byte</code>.
|
|
Such a language change would not be backward compatible.
|
|
We are using this vet check as a first trial step toward changing
|
|
the language.

<h4 id="vet-impossible-interface">New warning for impossible interface conversions</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 218779, 232660 -->
|
|
The vet tool now warns about type assertions from one interface type
|
|
to another interface type when the type assertion will always fail.
|
|
This will happen if both interface types implement a method with the
|
|
same name but with a different type signature.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no reason to write a type assertion that always fails, so
|
|
any code that triggers this vet check should be rewritten.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This new vet check is enabled by default when

using <code>go</code> <code>test</code>.

<h2 id="linker">Linker</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This release includes substantial improvements to the Go linker,
|
|
which reduce linker resource usage (both time and memory) and
|
|
improve code robustness/maintainability.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
For a representative set of large Go programs, linking is 20% faster
|
|
and requires 30% less memory on average, for <code>ELF</code>-based
|
|
OSes (Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Dragonfly, and Solaris)
|
|
running on <code>amd64</code> architectures, with more modest
|
|
improvements for other architecture/OS combinations.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The key contributors to better linker performance are a newly
|
|
redesigned object file format, and a revamping of internal
|
|
phases to increase concurrency (for example, applying relocations to
|
|
symbols in parallel). Object files in Go 1.15 are slightly larger
|
|
than their 1.14 equivalents.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
These changes are part of a multi-release project
|
|
to <a href="https://golang.org/s/better-linker">modernize the Go
|
|
linker</a>, meaning that there will be additional linker
|
|
improvements expected in future releases.

|
|
The linker now defaults to internal linking mode
|
|
for <code>-buildmode=pie</code> on
|
|
<code>linux/amd64</code> and <code>linux/arm64</code>, so these
|
|
configurations no longer require a C linker. External linking
|
|
mode (which was the default in Go 1.14 for

<code>-ldflags=-linkmode=external</code> flag.

<h3 id="time/tzdata">New embedded tzdata package</h3>
|

|
<p> <!-- CL 224588 -->
|
|
Go 1.15 includes a new package,
|
|
<a href="/pkg/time/tzdata/"><code>time/tzdata</code></a>,
|
|
that permits embedding the timezone database into a program.
|
|
Importing this package (as <code>import _ "time/tzdata"</code>)
|
|
permits the program to find timezone information even if the
|
|
timezone database is not available on the local system.
|
|
You can also embed the timezone database by building
|
|
with <code>-tags timetzdata</code>.
|
|
Either approach increases the size of the program by about 800 KB.

<p><!-- CL 235817 -->

|
Go 1.15 will translate the C type <code>EGLConfig</code> to the

Go type <code>uintptr</code>. This change is similar to how Go
|
|
1.12 and newer treats <code>EGLDisplay</code>, Darwin's CoreFoundation and
|
|
Java's JNI types. See the <a href="/cmd/cgo/#hdr-Special_cases">cgo

|
<h3 id="commonname">X.509 CommonName deprecation</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 231379 -->
|
|
The deprecated, legacy behavior of treating the <code>CommonName</code>
|
|
field on X.509 certificates as a host name when no Subject Alternative Names
|
|
are present is now disabled by default. It can be temporarily re-enabled by
|
|
adding the value <code>x509ignoreCN=0</code> to the <code>GODEBUG</code>
|
|
environment variable.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that if the <code>CommonName</code> is an invalid host name, it's always
|
|
ignored, regardless of <code>GODEBUG</code> settings. Invalid names include
|
|
those with any characters other than letters, digits, hyphens and underscores,

and those with empty labels or trailing dots.

On Unix systems, functions that use
|
|
<a href="/pkg/syscall/#SysProcAttr"><code>SysProcAttr</code></a>
|
|
will now reject attempts to set both the <code>Setctty</code>
|
|
and <code>Foreground</code> fields, as they both use
|
|
the <code>Ctty</code> field but do so in incompatible ways.
|
|
We expect that few existing programs set both fields.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Setting the <code>Setctty</code> field now requires that the
|
|
<code>Ctty</code> field be set to a file descriptor number in the
|
|
child process, as determined by the <code>ProcAttr.Files</code> field.
|
|
Using a child descriptor always worked, but there were certain
|
|
cases where using a parent file descriptor also happened to work.
|
|
Some programs that set <code>Setctty</code> will need to change
|
|
the value of <code>Ctty</code> to use a child descriptor number.
