It also includes the low-level type information 8 used by the reflect package; see reflect's documentation for the programmable 9 interface to the run-time type system. 10 11 Environment Variables 12 13 The following environment variables ($name or %name%, depending on the host 14 operating system) control the run-time behavior of Go programs. The meanings 15 and use may change from release to release. 16 17 The GOGC variable sets the initial garbage collection target percentage. 18 A collection is triggered when the ratio of freshly allocated data to live data 19 remaining after the previous collection reaches this percentage. The default 20 is GOGC=100. Setting GOGC=off disables the garbage collector entirely. 21 The runtime/debug package's SetGCPercent function allows changing this 22 percentage at run time. See http://golang.org/pkg/runtime/debug/#SetGCPercent. 23 24 The GODEBUG variable controls debug output from the runtime. GODEBUG value is 25 a comma-separated list of name=val pairs. Supported names are: 26 27 allocfreetrace: setting allocfreetrace=1 causes every allocation to be 28 profiled and a stack trace printed on each object's allocation and free. 29 30 efence: setting efence=1 causes the allocator to run in a mode 31 where each object is allocated on a unique page and addresses are 32 never recycled. 33 34 gctrace: setting gctrace=1 causes the garbage collector to emit a single line to standard 35 error at each collection, summarizing the amount of memory collected and the 36 length of the pause. Setting gctrace=2 emits the same summary but also 37 repeats each collection. 38 39 gcdead: setting gcdead=1 causes the garbage collector to clobber all stack slots 40 that it thinks are dead. 41 42 invalidptr: defaults to invalidptr=1, causing the garbage collector and stack 43 copier to crash the program if an invalid pointer value (for example, 1) 44 is found in a pointer-typed location. Setting invalidptr=0 disables this check. 45 This should only be used as a temporary workaround to diagnose buggy code. 46 The real fix is to not store integers in pointer-typed locations. 47 48 scheddetail: setting schedtrace=X and scheddetail=1 causes the scheduler to emit 49 detailed multiline info every X milliseconds, describing state of the scheduler, 50 processors, threads and goroutines. 51 52 schedtrace: setting schedtrace=X causes the scheduler to emit a single line to standard 53 error every X milliseconds, summarizing the scheduler state. 54 55 scavenge: scavenge=1 enables debugging mode of heap scavenger. 56 57 The GOMAXPROCS variable limits the number of operating system threads that 58 can execute user-level Go code simultaneously. There is no limit to the number of threads 59 that can be blocked in system calls on behalf of Go code; those do not count against 60 the GOMAXPROCS limit. This package's GOMAXPROCS function queries and changes 61 the limit. 62 63 The GOTRACEBACK variable controls the amount of output generated when a Go 64 program fails due to an unrecovered panic or an unexpected runtime condition. 65 By default, a failure prints a stack trace for every extant goroutine, eliding functions 66 internal to the run-time system, and then exits with exit code 2. 67 If GOTRACEBACK=0, the per-goroutine stack traces are omitted entirely. 68 If GOTRACEBACK=1, the default behavior is used. 69 If GOTRACEBACK=2, the per-goroutine stack traces include run-time functions. 70 If GOTRACEBACK=crash, the per-goroutine stack traces include run-time functions, 71 and if possible the program crashes in an operating-specific manner instead of 72 exiting. For example, on Unix systems, the program raises SIGABRT to trigger a 73 core dump. 74 75 The GOARCH, GOOS, GOPATH, and GOROOT environment variables complete 76 the set of Go environment variables. They influence the building of Go programs 77 (see http://golang.org/cmd/go and http://golang.org/pkg/go/build). 78 GOARCH, GOOS, and GOROOT are recorded at compile time and made available by 79 constants or functions in this package, but they do not influence the execution 80 of the run-time system. 81 */ 82 package runtime 83 84 // Caller reports file and line number information about function invocations on 85 // the calling goroutine's stack.
