Examples of excluded memory sources include: OS // kernel memory held on behalf of the process, memory allocated by // C code, and memory mapped by syscall.Mmap (because it is not // managed by the Go runtime). // // More specifically, the following expression accurately reflects // the value the runtime attempts to maintain as the limit: // // runtime.MemStats.Sys - runtime.MemStats.HeapReleased // // or in terms of the runtime/metrics package: // // /memory/classes/total:bytes - /memory/classes/heap/released:bytes // // A zero limit or a limit that's lower than the amount of memory // used by the Go runtime may cause the garbage collector to run // nearly continuously. However, the application may still make // progress. // // The memory limit is always respected by the Go runtime, so to // effectively disable this behavior, set the limit very high. // [math.MaxInt64] is the canonical value for disabling the limit, // but values much greater than the available memory on the underlying // system work just as well. // // See https://go.dev/doc/gc-guide for a detailed guide explaining // the soft memory limit in more detail, as well as a variety of common // use-cases and scenarios. // // The initial setting is math.MaxInt64 unless the GOMEMLIMIT // environment variable is set, in which case it provides the initial // setting.

These suffixes represent quantities of bytes as defined by // the IEC 80000-13 standard. That is, they are based on powers of // two: KiB means 2^10 bytes, MiB means 2^20 bytes, and so on. // // SetMemoryLimit returns the previously set memory limit. // A negative input does not adjust the limit, and allows for // retrieval of the currently set memory limit. func SetMemoryLimit(limit int64) int64 { return setMemoryLimit(limit) }
