<h3 id="mapiter">Concurrent Map Misuse</h3>
<p>
In Go 1.6, the runtime
<a href="/doc/go1.6#runtime">added lightweight,
best-effort detection of concurrent misuse of maps</a>. This release
improves that detector with support for detecting programs that
concurrently write to and iterate over a map.
</p>
<p>
As always, if one goroutine is writing to a map, no other goroutine should be
reading (which includes iterating) or writing the map concurrently.
If the runtime detects this condition, it prints a diagnosis and crashes the program.
The best way to find out more about the problem is to run the program
under the
<a href="https://blog.golang.org/race-detector">race detector</a>,
which will more reliably identify the race
and give more detail.
