@ -9,6 +9,13 @@ The compiler in Go 1.23 can now overlap the stack frame slots of local variables
accessed in disjoint regions of a function, which reduces stack usage
for Go applications.
<!-- https://go.dev/cl/577935 -->
For 386 and amd64, the compiler will use information from PGO to align certain
hot blocks in loops. This improves performance an additional 1-1.5% at
a cost of an additional 0.1% text and binary size. This is currently only implemented
on 386 and amd64 because it has not shown an improvement on other platforms.
Hot block alignment can be disabled with `-gcflags=[<packages>=]-d=alignhot=0`
