<h2 id="introduction">Introduction to Go 1.11</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The latest Go release, version 1.11, arrives six months after <a href="go1.10">Go 1.10</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>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="language">Changes to the language</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are no changes to the language specification.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="ports">Ports</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p> <!-- CL 94255, CL 115038, etc -->
|
|
As <a href="go1.10#ports">announced in the Go 1.10 release notes</a>, Go 1.11 now requires
|
|
OpenBSD 6.2 or later, macOS 10.10 Yosemite or later, or Windows 7 or later;
|
|
support for previous versions of these operating systems has been removed.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p> <!-- CL 121657 -->
|
|
Go 1.11 supports the upcoming OpenBSD 6.4 release. Due to changes in
|
|
the OpenBSD kernel, older versions of Go will not work on OpenBSD 6.4.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are <a href="https://golang.org/issue/25206">known issues</a> with NetBSD on i386 hardware.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 107935 -->
|
|
The race detector is now supported on <code>linux/ppc64le</code>
|
|
and, to a lesser extent, on <code>netbsd/amd64</code>. The NetBSD race detector support
|
|
has <a href="https://golang.org/issue/26403">known issues</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 109255 -->
|
|
The memory sanitizer (<code>-msan</code>) is now supported on <code>linux/arm64</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 93875 -->
|
|
The build modes <code>c-shared</code> and <code>c-archive</code> are now supported on
|
|
<code>freebsd/amd64</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p id="mips"><!-- CL 108475 -->
|
|
On 64-bit MIPS systems, the new environment variable settings
|
|
<code>GOMIPS64=hardfloat</code> (the default) and
|
|
<code>GOMIPS64=softfloat</code> select whether to use
|
|
hardware instructions or software emulation for floating-point computations.
|
|
For 32-bit systems, the environment variable is still <code>GOMIPS</code>,
|
|
as <a href="go1.10#mips">added in Go 1.10</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 107475 -->
|
|
On soft-float ARM systems (<code>GOARM=5</code>), Go now uses a more
|
|
efficient software floating point interface. This is transparent to
|
|
Go code, but ARM assembly that uses floating-point instructions not
|
|
guarded on GOARM will break and must be ported to
|
|
the <a href="https://golang.org/cl/107475">new interface</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 94076 -->
|
|
Go 1.11 on ARMv7 no longer requires a Linux kernel configured
|
|
with <code>KUSER_HELPERS</code>. This setting is enabled in default
|
|
kernel configurations, but is sometimes disabled in stripped-down
|
|
configurations.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="wasm">WebAssembly</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Go 1.11 adds an experimental port to <a href="https://webassembly.org">WebAssembly</a>
|
|
(<code>js/wasm</code>).
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Go programs currently compile to one WebAssembly module that
|
|
includes the Go runtime for goroutine scheduling, garbage
|
|
collection, maps, etc.
|
|
As a result, the resulting size is at minimum around
|
|
2 MB, or 500 KB compressed. Go programs can call into JavaScript
|
|
using the new experimental
|
|
<a href="/pkg/syscall/js/"><code>syscall/js</code></a> package.
|
|
Binary size and interop with other languages has not yet been a
|
|
priority but may be addressed in future releases.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
As a result of the addition of the new <code>GOOS</code> value
|
|
"<code>js</code>" and <code>GOARCH</code> value "<code>wasm</code>",
|
|
Go files named <code>*_js.go</code> or <code>*_wasm.go</code> will
|
|
now be <a href="/pkg/go/build/#hdr-Build_Constraints">ignored by Go
|
|
tools</a> except when those GOOS/GOARCH values are being used.
|
|
If you have existing filenames matching those patterns, you will need to rename them.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
More information can be found on the
|
|
<a href="https://golang.org/wiki/WebAssembly">WebAssembly wiki page</a>.

</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="riscv">RISC-V GOARCH values reserved</h3>
|
|
<p><!-- CL 106256 -->
|
|
The main Go compiler does not yet support the RISC-V architecture <!-- is gonna change everything -->
|
|
but we've reserved the <code>GOARCH</code> values
|
|
"<code>riscv</code>" and "<code>riscv64</code>", as used by Gccgo,
|
|
which does support RISC-V. This means that Go files
|
|
named <code>*_riscv.go</code> will now also
|
|
be <a href="/pkg/go/build/#hdr-Build_Constraints">ignored by Go
|
|
tools</a> except when those GOOS/GOARCH values are being used.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="tools">Tools</h2>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="modules">Modules, package versioning, and dependency management</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Go 1.11 adds preliminary support for a <a href="/cmd/go/#hdr-Modules__module_versions__and_more">new concept called “modules,”</a>
|
|
an alternative to GOPATH with integrated support for versioning and
|
|
package distribution.
|
|
Using modules, developers are no longer confined to working inside GOPATH,
|
|
version dependency information is explicit yet lightweight,
|
|
and builds are more reliable and reproducible.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Module support is considered experimental.
|
|
Details are likely to change in response to feedback from Go 1.11 users,
|
|
and we have more tools planned.
|
|
Although the details of module support may change, projects that convert
|
|
to modules using Go 1.11 will continue to work with Go 1.12 and later.
|
|
If you encounter bugs using modules,
|
|
please <a href="https://golang.org/issue/new">file issues</a>
|
|
so we can fix them. For more information, see the
|
|
<a href="/cmd/go#hdr-Modules__module_versions__and_more"><code>go</code> command documentation</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="importpath">Import path restriction</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Because Go module support assigns special meaning to the
|
|
<code>@</code> symbol in command line operations,
|
|
the <code>go</code> command now disallows the use of
|
|
import paths containing <code>@</code> symbols.
|
|
Such import paths were never allowed by <code>go</code> <code>get</code>,
|
|
so this restriction can only affect users building
|
|
custom GOPATH trees by other means.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="gopackages">Package loading</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The new package
|
|
<a href="https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/go/packages"><code>golang.org/x/tools/go/packages</code></a>
|
|
provides a simple API for locating and loading packages of Go source code.
|
|
Although not yet part of the standard library, for many tasks it
|
|
effectively replaces the <a href="/pkg/go/build"><code>go/build</code></a>
|
|
package, whose API is unable to fully support modules.
|
|
Because it runs an external query command such as
|
|
<a href="/cmd/go/#hdr-List_packages"><code>go list</code></a>
|
|
to obtain information about Go packages, it enables the construction of
|
|
analysis tools that work equally well with alternative build systems
|
|
such as <a href="https://bazel.build">Bazel</a>
|
|
and <a href="https://buckbuild.com">Buck</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="gocache">Build cache requirement</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Go 1.11 will be the last release to support setting the environment
|
|
variable <code>GOCACHE=off</code> to disable the
|
|
<a href="/cmd/go/#hdr-Build_and_test_caching">build cache</a>,
|
|
introduced in Go 1.10.
|
|
Starting in Go 1.12, the build cache will be required,
|
|
as a step toward eliminating <code>$GOPATH/pkg</code>.
|
|
The module and package loading support described above
|
|
already require that the build cache be enabled.
|
|
If you have disabled the build cache to avoid problems you encountered,
|
|
please <a href="https://golang.org/issue/new">file an issue</a> to let us know about them.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="compiler">Compiler toolchain</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 109918 -->
|
|
More functions are now eligible for inlining by default, including
|
|
functions that call <code>panic</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 97375 -->
|
|
The compiler toolchain now supports column information
|
|
in <a href="/cmd/compile/#hdr-Compiler_Directives">line
|
|
directives</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 106797 -->
|
|
A new package export data format has been introduced.
|
|
This should be transparent to end users, except for speeding up
|
|
build times for large Go projects.
|
|
If it does cause problems, it can be turned off again by
|
|
passing <code>-gcflags=all=-iexport=false</code> to
|
|
the <code>go</code> tool when building a binary.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 100459 -->
|
|
The compiler now rejects unused variables declared in a type switch
|
|
guard, such as <code>x</code> in the following example:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
func f(v interface{}) {
|
|
switch x := v.(type) {
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This was already rejected by both <code>gccgo</code>
|
|
and <a href="/pkg/go/types/">go/types</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="assembler">Assembler</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 113315 -->
|
|
The assembler for <code>amd64</code> now accepts AVX512 instructions.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="debugging">Debugging</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 100738, CL 93664 -->
|
|
The compiler now produces significantly more accurate debug
|
|
information for optimized binaries, including variable location
|
|
information, line numbers, and breakpoint locations.
|
|
|
|
This should make it possible to debug binaries
|
|
compiled <em>without</em> <code>-N</code> <code>-l</code>.
|
|
|
|
There are still limitations to the quality of the debug information,
|
|
some of which are fundamental, and some of which will continue to
|
|
improve with future releases.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 118276 -->
|
|
DWARF sections are now compressed by default because of the expanded
|
|
and more accurate debug information produced by the compiler.
|
|
|
|
This is transparent to most ELF tools (such as debuggers on Linux
|
|
and *BSD) and is supported by the Delve debugger on all platforms,
|
|
but has limited support in the native tools on macOS and Windows.
|
|
|
|
To disable DWARF compression,
|
|
pass <code>-ldflags=-compressdwarf=false</code> to
|
|
the <code>go</code> tool when building a binary.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 109699 -->
|
|
Go 1.11 adds experimental support for calling Go functions from
|
|
within a debugger.
|
|
|
|
This is useful, for example, to call <code>String</code> methods
|
|
when paused at a breakpoint.
|
|
|
|
This is currently only supported by Delve (version 1.1.0 and up).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="test">Test</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Since Go 1.10, the <code>go</code> <code>test</code> command runs
|
|
<code>go</code> <code>vet</code> on the package being tested,
|
|
to identify problems before running the test. Since <code>vet</code>
|
|
typechecks the code with <a href="/pkg/go/types/">go/types</a>
|
|
before running, tests that do not typecheck will now fail.
|
|
|
|
In particular, tests that contain an unused variable inside a
|
|
closure compiled with Go 1.10, because the Go compiler incorrectly
|
|
accepted them (<a href="https://golang.org/issues/3059">Issue #3059</a>),
|
|
but will now fail, since <code>go/types</code> correctly reports an
|
|
"unused variable" error in this case.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 102696 -->
|
|
The <code>-memprofile</code> flag
|
|
to <code>go</code> <code>test</code> now defaults to the
|
|
"allocs" profile, which records the total bytes allocated since the
|
|
test began (including garbage-collected bytes).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="vet">Vet</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 108555 -->
|
|
The <a href="/cmd/vet/"><code>go</code> <code>vet</code></a>
|
|
command now reports a fatal error when the package under analysis
|
|
does not typecheck. Previously, a type checking error simply caused
|
|
a warning to be printed, and <code>vet</code> to exit with status 1.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 108559 -->
|
|
Additionally, <a href="/cmd/vet"><code>go</code> <code>vet</code></a>
|
|
has become more robust when format-checking <code>printf</code> wrappers.
|
|
Vet now detects the mistake in this example:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
func wrapper(s string, args ...interface{}) {
|
|
fmt.Printf(s, args...)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
wrapper("%s", 42)
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="trace">Trace</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 63274 -->
|
|
With the new <code>runtime/trace</code>
|
|
package's <a href="/pkg/runtime/trace/#hdr-User_annotation">user
|
|
annotation API</a>, users can record application-level information
|
|
in execution traces and create groups of related goroutines.
|
|
The <code>go</code> <code>tool</code> <code>trace</code>
|
|
command visualizes this information in the trace view and the new
|
|
user task/region analysis page.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="cgo">Cgo</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Since Go 1.10, cgo has translated some C pointer types to the Go
|
|
type <code>uintptr</code>. These types include
|
|
the <code>CFTypeRef</code> hierarchy in Darwin's CoreFoundation
|
|
framework and the <code>jobject</code> hierarchy in Java's JNI
|
|
interface. In Go 1.11, several improvements have been made to the code
|
|
that detects these types. Code that uses these types may need some
|
|
updating. See the <a href="go1.10.html#cgo">Go 1.10 release notes</a> for
|
|
details. <!-- CL 126275, CL 127156, CL 122217, CL 122575, CL 123177 -->
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="go_command">Go command</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 126656 -->
|
|
The environment variable <code>GOFLAGS</code> may now be used
|
|
to set default flags for the <code>go</code> command.
|
|
This is useful in certain situations.
|
|
Linking can be noticeably slower on underpowered systems due to DWARF,
|
|
and users may want to set <code>-ldflags=-w</code> by default.
|
|
For modules, some users and CI systems will want vendoring always,
|
|
so they should set <code>-mod=vendor</code> by default.
|
|
For more information, see the <a href="/cmd/go/#hdr-Environment_variables"><code>go</code>
|
|
command documentation</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="godoc">Godoc</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Go 1.11 will be the last release to support <code>godoc</code>'s command-line interface.
|
|
In future releases, <code>godoc</code> will only be a web server. Users should use
|
|
<code>go</code> <code>doc</code> for command-line help output instead.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 85396, CL 124495 -->
|
|
The <code>godoc</code> web server now shows which version of Go introduced
|
|
new API features. The initial Go version of types, funcs, and methods are shown
|
|
right-aligned. For example, see <a href="/pkg/os/#UserCacheDir"><code>UserCacheDir</code></a>, with "1.11"
|
|
on the right side. For struct fields, inline comments are added when the struct field was
|
|
added in a Go version other than when the type itself was introduced.
|
|
For a struct field example, see
|
|
<a href="/pkg/net/http/httptrace/#ClientTrace.Got1xxResponse"><code>ClientTrace.Got1xxResponse</code></a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="gofmt">Gofmt</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
One minor detail of the default formatting of Go source code has changed.
|
|
When formatting expression lists with inline comments, the comments were
|
|
aligned according to a heuristic.
|
|
However, in some cases the alignment would be split up too easily, or
|
|
introduce too much whitespace.
|
|
The heuristic has been changed to behave better for human-written code.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note that these kinds of minor updates to gofmt are expected from time to
|
|
time.
|
|
In general, systems that need consistent formatting of Go source code should
|
|
use a specific version of the <code>gofmt</code> binary.
|
|
See the <a href="/pkg/go/format/">go/format</a> package documentation for more
|
|
information.
|

|
|
|
<h3 id="run">Run</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<!-- CL 109341 -->
|
|
The <a href="/cmd/go/"><code>go</code> <code>run</code></a>
|
|
command now allows a single import path, a directory name or a
|
|
pattern matching a single package.
|
|
This allows <code>go</code> <code>run</code> <code>pkg</code> or <code>go</code> <code>run</code> <code>dir</code>, most importantly <code>go</code> <code>run</code> <code>.</code>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="runtime">Runtime</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 85887 -->
|
|
The runtime now uses a sparse heap layout so there is no longer a
|
|
limit to the size of the Go heap (previously, the limit was 512GiB).
|
|
This also fixes rare "address space conflict" failures in mixed Go/C
|
|
binaries or binaries compiled with <code>-race</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 108679, CL 106156 -->
|
|
On macOS and iOS, the runtime now uses <code>libSystem.dylib</code> instead of
|
|
calling the kernel directly. This should make Go binaries more
|
|
compatible with future versions of macOS and iOS.
|
|
The <a href="/pkg/syscall">syscall</a> package still makes direct
|
|
system calls; fixing this is planned for a future release.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="performance">Performance</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
As always, the changes are so general and varied that precise
|
|
statements about performance are difficult to make. Most programs
|
|
should run a bit faster, due to better generated code and
|
|
optimizations in the core library.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 74851 -->
|
|
There were multiple performance changes to the <code>math/big</code>
|
|
package as well as many changes across the tree specific to <code>GOARCH=arm64</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="performance-compiler">Compiler toolchain</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 110055 -->
|
|
The compiler now optimizes map clearing operations of the form:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
for k := range m {
|
|
delete(m, k)
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- CL 109517 -->
|
|
The compiler now optimizes slice extension of the form
|
|
<code>append(s,</code> <code>make([]T,</code> <code>n)...)</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|

The compiler now performs significantly more aggressive bounds-check
|
|
and branch elimination. Notably, it now recognizes transitive
|
|
relations, so if <code>i<j</code> and <code>j<len(s)</code>,
|
|
it can use these facts to eliminate the bounds check
|
|
for <code>s[i]</code>. It also understands simple arithmetic such
|
|
as <code>s[i-10]</code> and can recognize more inductive cases in
|
|
loops. Furthermore, the compiler now uses bounds information to more
|
|
aggressively optimize shift operations.

Modifying template variables via assignments is now permitted via the <code>=</code> token:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
{{"{{"}} $v := "init" {{"}}"}}
|
|
{{"{{"}} if true {{"}}"}}
|
|
{{"{{"}} $v = "changed" {{"}}"}}
|
|
{{"{{"}} end {{"}}"}}
|

v: {{"{{"}} $v {{"}}"}} {{"{{"}}/* "changed" */{{"}}"}}</pre>

In previous versions untyped <code>nil</code> values passed to
|
|
template functions were ignored. They are now passed as normal
|
|
arguments.

Parsing of timezones denoted by sign and offset is now
|
|
supported. In previous versions, numeric timezone names
|
|
(such as <code>+03</code>) were not considered valid, and only
|
|
three-letter abbreviations (such as <code>MST</code>) were accepted
|
|
when expecting a timezone name.
