It also includes the low-level type informationused by the reflect package; see reflect's documentation for the programmableinterface to the run-time type system.Environment VariablesThe following environment variables ($name or %name%, depending on the hostoperating system) control the run-time behavior of Go programs. The meaningsand use may change from release to release.The GOGC variable sets the initial garbage collection target percentage.A collection is triggered when the ratio of freshly allocated data to live dataremaining after the previous collection reaches this percentage. The defaultis GOGC=100. Setting GOGC=off disables the garbage collector entirely.The runtime/debug package's SetGCPercent function allows changing thispercentage at run time. See https://golang.org/pkg/runtime/debug/#SetGCPercent.The GODEBUG variable controls debugging variables within the runtime.It is a comma-separated list of name=val pairs setting these named variables:allocfreetrace: setting allocfreetrace=1 causes every allocation to beprofiled and a stack trace printed on each object's allocation and free.clobberfree: setting clobberfree=1 causes the garbage collector toclobber the memory content of an object with bad content when it freesthe object.cgocheck: setting cgocheck=0 disables all checks for packagesusing cgo to incorrectly pass Go pointers to non-Go code.Setting cgocheck=1 (the default) enables relatively cheapchecks that may miss some errors. Setting cgocheck=2 enablesexpensive checks that should not miss any errors, but willcause your program to run slower.efence: setting efence=1 causes the allocator to run in a modewhere each object is allocated on a unique page and addresses arenever recycled.gccheckmark: setting gccheckmark=1 enables verification of thegarbage collector's concurrent mark phase by performing asecond mark pass while the world is stopped. If the secondpass finds a reachable object that was not found by concurrentmark, the garbage collector will panic.gcpacertrace: setting gcpacertrace=1 causes the garbage collector toprint information about the internal state of the concurrent pacer.gcshrinkstackoff: setting gcshrinkstackoff=1 disables moving goroutinesonto smaller stacks. In this mode, a goroutine's stack can only grow.gcstoptheworld: setting gcstoptheworld=1 disables concurrent garbage collection,making every garbage collection a stop-the-world event. Setting gcstoptheworld=2also disables concurrent sweeping after the garbage collection finishes.gctrace: setting gctrace=1 causes the garbage collector to emit a single line to standarderror at each collection, summarizing the amount of memory collected and thelength of the pause. The format of this line is subject to change.Currently, it is:gc # @#s #%: #+#+# ms clock, #+#/#/#+# ms cpu, #->#-># MB, # MB goal, # Pwhere the fields are as follows:gc # the GC number, incremented at each GC@#s time in seconds since program start#% percentage of time spent in GC since program start#+...+# wall-clock/CPU times for the phases of the GC#->#-># MB heap size at GC start, at GC end, and live heap# MB goal goal heap size# P number of processors usedThe phases are stop-the-world (STW) sweep termination, concurrentmark and scan, and STW mark termination. The CPU timesfor mark/scan are broken down in to assist time (GC performed inline with allocation), background GC time, and idle GC time.If the line ends with "(forced)", this GC was forced by aruntime.GC() call.inittrace: setting inittrace=1 causes the runtime to emit a single line to standarderror for each package with init work, summarizing the execution time and memoryallocation. No information is printed for inits executed as part of plugin loadingand for packages without both user defined and compiler generated init work.The format of this line is subject to change. Currently, it is:init # @#ms, # ms clock, # bytes, # allocswhere the fields are as follows:init # the package name@# ms time in milliseconds when the init started since program start# clock wall-clock time for package initialization work# bytes memory allocated on the heap# allocs number of heap allocationsmadvdontneed: setting madvdontneed=0 will use MADV_FREEinstead of MADV_DONTNEED on Linux when returning memory to thekernel. This is more efficient, but means RSS numbers willdrop only when the OS is under memory pressure.memprofilerate: setting memprofilerate=X will update the value of runtime.MemProfileRate.When set to 0 memory profiling is disabled. Refer to the description ofMemProfileRate for the default value.invalidptr: invalidptr=1 (the default) causes the garbage collector and stackcopier to crash the program if an invalid pointer value (for example, 1)is found in a pointer-typed location. Setting invalidptr=0 disables this check.This should only be used as a temporary workaround to diagnose buggy code.The real fix is to not store integers in pointer-typed locations.sbrk: setting sbrk=1 replaces the memory allocator and garbage collectorwith a trivial allocator that obtains memory from the operating system andnever reclaims any memory.scavenge: scavenge=1 enables debugging mode of heap scavenger.scavtrace: setting scavtrace=1 causes the runtime to emit a single line to standarderror, roughly once per GC cycle, summarizing the amount of work done by thescavenger as well as the total amount of memory returned to the operating systemand an estimate of physical memory utilization. The format of this line is subjectto change, but currently it is:scav # # KiB work, # KiB total, #% utilwhere the fields are as follows:scav # the scavenge cycle number# KiB work the amount of memory returned to the OS since the last line# KiB total the total amount of memory returned to the OS#% util the fraction of all unscavenged memory which is in-useIf the line ends with "(forced)", then scavenging was forced by adebug.FreeOSMemory() call.scheddetail: setting schedtrace=X and scheddetail=1 causes the scheduler to emitdetailed multiline info every X milliseconds, describing state of the scheduler,processors, threads and goroutines.schedtrace: setting schedtrace=X causes the scheduler to emit a single line to standarderror every X milliseconds, summarizing the scheduler state.tracebackancestors: setting tracebackancestors=N extends tracebacks with the stacks atwhich goroutines were created, where N limits the number of ancestor goroutines toreport. This also extends the information returned by runtime.Stack. Ancestor's goroutineIDs will refer to the ID of the goroutine at the time of creation; it's possible for thisID to be reused for another goroutine. Setting N to 0 will report no ancestry information.asyncpreemptoff: asyncpreemptoff=1 disables signal-basedasynchronous goroutine preemption. This makes some loopsnon-preemptible for long periods, which may delay GC andgoroutine scheduling. This is useful for debugging GC issuesbecause it also disables the conservative stack scanning usedfor asynchronously preempted goroutines.The net, net/http, and crypto/tls packages also refer to debugging variables in GODEBUG.See the documentation for those packages for details.The GOMAXPROCS variable limits the number of operating system threads thatcan execute user-level Go code simultaneously. There is no limit to the number of threadsthat can be blocked in system calls on behalf of Go code; those do not count againstthe GOMAXPROCS limit. This package's GOMAXPROCS function queries and changesthe limit.The GORACE variable configures the race detector, for programs built using -race.See https://golang.org/doc/articles/race_detector.html for details.The GOTRACEBACK variable controls the amount of output generated when a Goprogram fails due to an unrecovered panic or an unexpected runtime condition.By default, a failure prints a stack trace for the current goroutine,eliding functions internal to the run-time system, and then exits with exit code 2.The failure prints stack traces for all goroutines if there is no current goroutineor the failure is internal to the run-time.GOTRACEBACK=none omits the goroutine stack traces entirely.GOTRACEBACK=single (the default) behaves as described above.GOTRACEBACK=all adds stack traces for all user-created goroutines.GOTRACEBACK=system is like ``all'' but adds stack frames for run-time functionsand shows goroutines created internally by the run-time.GOTRACEBACK=crash is like ``system'' but crashes in an operating system-specificmanner instead of exiting. For example, on Unix systems, the crash raisesSIGABRT to trigger a core dump.For historical reasons, the GOTRACEBACK settings 0, 1, and 2 are synonyms fornone, all, and system, respectively.The runtime/debug package's SetTraceback function allows increasing theamount of output at run time, but it cannot reduce the amount below thatspecified by the environment variable.See https://golang.org/pkg/runtime/debug/#SetTraceback.The GOARCH, GOOS, GOPATH, and GOROOT environment variables completethe set of Go environment variables. They influence the building of Go programs(see https://golang.org/cmd/go and https://golang.org/pkg/go/build).GOARCH, GOOS, and GOROOT are recorded at compile time and made available byconstants or functions in this package, but they do not influence the executionof the run-time system.*/package runtimeimport// Caller reports file and line number information about function invocations on// the calling goroutine's stack.
