GOEXPERIMENT is a comma-separated list of 9 // experiment names. GOEXPERIMENT can be set at make.bash time, which 10 // sets the default experiments for binaries built with the tool 11 // chain; or it can be set at build time. GOEXPERIMENT can also be set 12 // to "none", which disables any experiments that were enabled at 13 // make.bash time. 14 // 15 // Experiments are exposed to the build in the following ways: 16 // 17 // - Build tag goexperiment.x is set if experiment x (lower case) is 18 // enabled. 19 // 20 // - For each experiment x (in camel case), this package contains a 21 // boolean constant x and an integer constant xInt. 22 // 23 // - In runtime assembly, the macro GOEXPERIMENT_x is defined if 24 // experiment x (lower case) is enabled. 25 // 26 // In the toolchain, the set of experiments enabled for the current 27 // build should be accessed via objabi.Experiment. 28 // 29 // The set of experiments is included in the output of runtime.Version() 30 // and "go version <binary>" if it differs from the default experiments. 31 // 32 // For the set of experiments supported by the current toolchain, see 33 // "go doc goexperiment.Flags". 34 // 35 // Note that this package defines the set of experiments (in Flags) 36 // and records the experiments that were enabled when the package 37 // was compiled (as boolean and integer constants). 38 // 39 // Note especially that this package does not itself change behavior 40 // at run time based on the GOEXPERIMENT variable. 41 // The code used in builds to interpret the GOEXPERIMENT variable 42 // is in the separate package internal/buildcfg. 43 package goexperiment 44 45 //go:generate go run mkconsts.go 46 47 // Flags is the set of experiments that can be enabled or disabled in 48 // the current toolchain. 49 // 50 // When specified in the GOEXPERIMENT environment variable or as build 51 // tags, experiments use the strings.ToLower of their field name. 52 // 53 // For the baseline experimental configuration, see 54 // objabi.experimentBaseline. 55 // 56 // If you change this struct definition, run "go generate". 57 type Flags struct { 58 FieldTrack bool 59 PreemptibleLoops bool 60 StaticLockRanking bool 61 BoringCrypto bool 62 63 // Regabi is split into several sub-experiments that can be 64 // enabled individually.
