| Package runtime contains operations that interact with Go's runtime system, | |
| such as functions to control goroutines. It also includes the low-level type information | |
| used by the reflect package; see [reflect]'s documentation for the programmable | |
| interface to the run-time type system. | |
| # Environment Variables | |
| The following environment variables ($name or %name%, depending on the host | |
| operating system) control the run-time behavior of Go programs. The meanings | |
| and use may change from release to release. | |
| The GOGC variable sets the initial garbage collection target percentage. | |
| A collection is triggered when the ratio of freshly allocated data to live data | |
| remaining after the previous collection reaches this percentage. The default | |
| is GOGC=100. Setting GOGC=off disables the garbage collector entirely. | |
| [runtime/debug.SetGCPercent] allows changing this percentage at run time. | |
| The GOMEMLIMIT variable sets a soft memory limit for the runtime. This memory limit | |
| includes the Go heap and all other memory managed by the runtime, and excludes | |
| external memory sources such as mappings of the binary itself, memory managed in | |
| other languages, and memory held by the operating system on behalf of the Go | |
| program. GOMEMLIMIT is a numeric value in bytes with an optional unit suffix. | |
| The supported suffixes include B, KiB, MiB, GiB, and TiB. 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. The default setting is [math.MaxInt64], which effectively disables the | |
| memory limit. [runtime/debug.SetMemoryLimit] allows changing this limit at run | |
| time. | |
| The GODEBUG variable controls debugging variables within the runtime. | |
| It is a comma-separated list of name=val pairs setting these named variables: | |
| clobberfree: setting clobberfree=1 causes the garbage collector to | |
| clobber the memory content of an object with bad content when it frees | |
| the object. | |
| cpu.*: cpu.all=off disables the use of all optional instruction set extensions. | |
| cpu.extension=off disables use of instructions from the specified instruction set extension. | |
| extension is the lower case name for the instruction set extension such as sse41 or avx | |
| as listed in internal/cpu package. As an example cpu.avx=off disables runtime detection | |
| and thereby use of AVX instructions. | |
| cgocheck: setting cgocheck=0 disables all checks for packages | |
| using cgo to incorrectly pass Go pointers to non-Go code. | |
| Setting cgocheck=1 (the default) enables relatively cheap | |
| checks that may miss some errors. A more complete, but slow, | |
| cgocheck mode can be enabled using GOEXPERIMENT (which | |
| requires a rebuild), see https://pkg.go.dev/internal/goexperiment for details. | |
| checkfinalizers: setting checkfinalizers=1 causes the garbage collector to run | |
| multiple partial non-parallel stop-the-world collections to identify common issues with | |
| finalizers and cleanups, like those listed at | |
| https://go.dev/doc/gc-guide#Finalizers_cleanups_and_weak_pointers. If a potential issue | |
| is found, the program will terminate with a description of all potential issues, the | |
| associated values, and a list of those values' finalizers and cleanups, including where | |
| they were created. It also adds tracking for tiny blocks to help diagnose issues with | |
| those as well. The analysis performed during the partial collection is conservative. | |
| Notably, it flags any path back to the original object from the cleanup function, | |
| cleanup arguments, or finalizer function as a potential issue, even if that path might | |
| be severed sometime later during execution (though this is not a recommended pattern). | |
| This mode also produces one line of output to stderr every GC cycle with information | |
| about the finalizer and cleanup queue lengths. Lines produced by this mode start with | |
| "checkfinalizers:". | |
| decoratemappings: controls whether the Go runtime annotates OS | |
| anonymous memory mappings with context about their purpose. These | |
| annotations appear in /proc/self/maps and /proc/self/smaps as | |
| "[anon: Go: ...]". This setting is only used on Linux. For Go 1.25, it | |
| defaults to `decoratemappings=1`, enabling annotations. Using | |
| `decoratemappings=0` reverts to the pre-Go 1.25 behavior. | |
| disablethp: setting disablethp=1 on Linux disables transparent huge pages for the heap. | |
| It has no effect on other platforms. disablethp is meant for compatibility with versions | |
| of Go before 1.21, which stopped working around a Linux kernel default that can result | |
| in significant memory overuse. See https://go.dev/issue/64332. This setting will be | |
| removed in a future release, so operators should tweak their Linux configuration to suit | |
| their needs before then. See https://go.dev/doc/gc-guide#Linux_transparent_huge_pages. | |
| dontfreezetheworld: by default, the start of a fatal panic or throw | |
| "freezes the world", preempting all threads to stop all running | |
| goroutines, which makes it possible to traceback all goroutines, and | |
| keeps their state close to the point of panic. Setting | |
| dontfreezetheworld=1 disables this preemption, allowing goroutines to | |
| continue executing during panic processing. Note that goroutines that | |
| naturally enter the scheduler will still stop. This can be useful when | |
| debugging the runtime scheduler, as freezetheworld perturbs scheduler | |
| state and thus may hide problems. | |
| efence: setting efence=1 causes the allocator to run in a mode | |
| where each object is allocated on a unique page and addresses are | |
| never recycled. | |
| gccheckmark: setting gccheckmark=1 enables verification of the | |
| garbage collector's concurrent mark phase by performing a | |
| second mark pass while the world is stopped. If the second | |
| pass finds a reachable object that was not found by concurrent | |
| mark, the garbage collector will panic. | |
| gcpacertrace: setting gcpacertrace=1 causes the garbage collector to | |
| print information about the internal state of the concurrent pacer. | |
| gcshrinkstackoff: setting gcshrinkstackoff=1 disables moving goroutines | |
| onto smaller stacks. In this mode, a goroutine's stack can only grow. | |
| gcstoptheworld: setting gcstoptheworld=1 disables concurrent garbage collection, | |
| making every garbage collection a stop-the-world event. Setting gcstoptheworld=2 | |
| also disables concurrent sweeping after the garbage collection finishes. | |
| gctrace: setting gctrace=1 causes the garbage collector to emit a single line to standard | |
| error at each collection, summarizing the amount of memory collected and the | |
| length of the pause. The format of this line is subject to change. Included in | |
| the explanation below is also the relevant runtime/metrics metric for each field. | |
| Currently, it is: | |
| gc # @#s #%: #+#+# ms clock, #+#/#/#+# ms cpu, #->#-># MB, # MB goal, # MB stacks, #MB globals, # P | |
| where the fields are as follows: | |
| gc # the GC number, incremented at each GC | |
| @#s time in seconds since program start | |
| #% percentage of time spent in GC since program start | |
| #+...+# wall-clock/CPU times for the phases of the GC | |
| #->#-># MB heap size at GC start, at GC end, and live heap, or /gc/scan/heap:bytes | |
| # MB goal goal heap size, or /gc/heap/goal:bytes | |
| # MB stacks estimated scannable stack size, or /gc/scan/stack:bytes | |
| # MB globals scannable global size, or /gc/scan/globals:bytes | |
| # P number of processors used, or /sched/gomaxprocs:threads | |
| The phases are stop-the-world (STW) sweep termination, concurrent | |
| mark and scan, and STW mark termination. The CPU times | |
| for mark/scan are broken down in to assist time (GC performed in | |
| line with allocation), background GC time, and idle GC time. | |
| If the line ends with "(forced)", this GC was forced by a | |
| runtime.GC() call. | |
| harddecommit: setting harddecommit=1 causes memory that is returned to the OS to | |
| also have protections removed on it. This is the only mode of operation on Windows, | |
| but is helpful in debugging scavenger-related issues on other platforms. Currently, | |
| only supported on Linux. | |
| inittrace: setting inittrace=1 causes the runtime to emit a single line to standard | |
| error for each package with init work, summarizing the execution time and memory | |
| allocation. No information is printed for inits executed as part of plugin loading | |
| and for packages without both user defined and compiler generated init work. | |
| The format of this line is subject to change. Currently, it is: | |
| init # @#ms, # ms clock, # bytes, # allocs | |
| where the fields are as follows: | |
| init # the package name | |
| @# ms time in milliseconds when the init started since program start | |
| # clock wall-clock time for package initialization work | |
| # bytes memory allocated on the heap | |
| # allocs number of heap allocations | |
| madvdontneed: setting madvdontneed=0 will use MADV_FREE | |
| instead of MADV_DONTNEED on Linux when returning memory to the | |
| kernel. This is more efficient, but means RSS numbers will | |
| drop only when the OS is under memory pressure. On the BSDs and | |
| Illumos/Solaris, setting madvdontneed=1 will use MADV_DONTNEED instead | |
| of MADV_FREE. This is less efficient, but causes RSS numbers to drop | |
| more quickly. | |
| memprofilerate: setting memprofilerate=X will update the value of runtime.MemProfileRate. | |
| When set to 0 memory profiling is disabled. Refer to the description of | |
| MemProfileRate for the default value. | |
| profstackdepth: profstackdepth=128 (the default) will set the maximum stack | |
| depth used by all pprof profilers except for the CPU profiler to 128 frames. | |
| Stack traces that exceed this limit will be truncated to the limit starting | |
| from the leaf frame. Setting profstackdepth to any value above 1024 will | |
| silently default to 1024. Future versions of Go may remove this limitation | |
| and extend profstackdepth to apply to the CPU profiler and execution tracer. | |
| panicnil: setting panicnil=1 disables the runtime error when calling panic with nil | |
| interface value or an untyped nil. | |
| invalidptr: invalidptr=1 (the default) causes the garbage collector and stack | |
| copier to crash the program if an invalid pointer value (for example, 1) | |
| is found in a pointer-typed location. Setting invalidptr=0 disables this check. | |
| This should only be used as a temporary workaround to diagnose buggy code. | |
| The real fix is to not store integers in pointer-typed locations. | |
| sbrk: setting sbrk=1 replaces the memory allocator and garbage collector | |
| with a trivial allocator that obtains memory from the operating system and | |
| never reclaims any memory. | |
| scavtrace: setting scavtrace=1 causes the runtime to emit a single line to standard | |
| error, roughly once per GC cycle, summarizing the amount of work done by the | |
| scavenger as well as the total amount of memory returned to the operating system | |
| and an estimate of physical memory utilization. The format of this line is subject | |
| to change, but currently it is: | |
| scav # KiB work (bg), # KiB work (eager), # KiB total, #% util | |
| where the fields are as follows: | |
| # KiB work (bg) the amount of memory returned to the OS in the background since | |
| the last line | |
| # KiB work (eager) the amount of memory returned to the OS eagerly since the last line | |
| # KiB now the amount of address space currently returned to the OS | |
| #% util the fraction of all unscavenged heap memory which is in-use | |
| If the line ends with "(forced)", then scavenging was forced by a | |
| debug.FreeOSMemory() call. | |
| scheddetail: setting schedtrace=X and scheddetail=1 causes the scheduler to emit | |
| detailed multiline info every X milliseconds, describing state of the scheduler, | |
| processors, threads and goroutines. | |
| schedtrace: setting schedtrace=X causes the scheduler to emit a single line to standard | |
| error every X milliseconds, summarizing the scheduler state. | |
| tracebackancestors: setting tracebackancestors=N extends tracebacks with the stacks at | |
| which goroutines were created, where N limits the number of ancestor goroutines to | |
| report. This also extends the information returned by runtime.Stack. | |
| Setting N to 0 will report no ancestry information. | |
| tracebackcrash: setting tracebackcrash=1 causes the runtime to throw a fatal | |
| error on any unwinding error, even for unwinds such as CPU profiling that | |
| otherwise tolerate errors and report a truncated stack. | |
| tracefpunwindoff: setting tracefpunwindoff=1 forces the execution tracer | |
| and block and mutex profilers to use the runtime's default stack | |
| unwinder instead of frame pointer unwinding. This increases their | |
| overhead, but could be helpful as a workaround or for debugging | |
| unexpected regressions caused by frame pointer unwinding. | |
| traceadvanceperiod: the approximate period in nanoseconds between trace generations. Only | |
| applies if a program is built with GOEXPERIMENT=exectracer2. Used primarily for testing | |
| and debugging the execution tracer. | |
| tracecheckstackownership: setting tracecheckstackownership=1 enables a debug check in the | |
| execution tracer to double-check stack ownership before taking a stack trace. | |
| asyncpreemptoff: asyncpreemptoff=1 disables signal-based | |
| asynchronous goroutine preemption. This makes some loops | |
| non-preemptible for long periods, which may delay GC and | |
| goroutine scheduling. This is useful for debugging GC issues | |
| because it also disables the conservative stack scanning used | |
| for asynchronously preempted goroutines. | |
| The [net] and [net/http] packages also refer to debugging variables in GODEBUG. | |
| See the documentation for those packages for details. | |
| The GOMAXPROCS variable limits the number of operating system threads that | |
| can execute user-level Go code simultaneously. There is no limit to the number of threads | |
| that can be blocked in system calls on behalf of Go code; those do not count against | |
| the GOMAXPROCS limit. This package's [GOMAXPROCS] function queries and changes | |
| the limit. | |
| The GORACE variable configures the race detector, for programs built using -race. | |
| See the [Race Detector article] for details. | |
| The GOTRACEBACK variable controls the amount of output generated when a Go | |
| program fails due to an unrecovered panic or an unexpected runtime condition. | |
| By default, a failure prints a stack trace for the current goroutine, | |
| eliding functions internal to the run-time system, and then exits with exit code 2. | |
| The failure prints stack traces for all goroutines if there is no current goroutine | |
| or the failure is internal to the run-time. | |
| GOTRACEBACK=none omits the goroutine stack traces entirely. | |
| GOTRACEBACK=single (the default) behaves as described above. | |
| GOTRACEBACK=all adds stack traces for all user-created goroutines. | |
| GOTRACEBACK=system is like “all” but adds stack frames for run-time functions | |
| and shows goroutines created internally by the run-time. | |
| GOTRACEBACK=crash is like “system” but crashes in an operating system-specific | |
| manner instead of exiting. For example, on Unix systems, the crash raises | |
| SIGABRT to trigger a core dump. | |
| GOTRACEBACK=wer is like “crash” but doesn't disable Windows Error Reporting (WER). | |
| For historical reasons, the GOTRACEBACK settings 0, 1, and 2 are synonyms for | |
| none, all, and system, respectively. | |
| The [runtime/debug.SetTraceback] function allows increasing the | |
| amount of output at run time, but it cannot reduce the amount below that | |
| specified by the environment variable. | |
| The GOARCH, GOOS, GOPATH, and GOROOT environment variables complete | |
| the set of Go environment variables. They influence the building of Go programs | |
| (see [cmd/go] and [go/build]). | |
| GOARCH, GOOS, and GOROOT are recorded at compile time and made available by | |
| constants or functions in this package, but they do not influence the execution | |
| of the run-time system. | |
| # Security | |
| On Unix platforms, Go's runtime system behaves slightly differently when a | |
| binary is setuid/setgid or executed with setuid/setgid-like properties, in order | |
| to prevent dangerous behaviors. On Linux this is determined by checking for the | |
| AT_SECURE flag in the auxiliary vector, on the BSDs and Solaris/Illumos it is | |
| determined by checking the issetugid syscall, and on AIX it is determined by | |
| checking if the uid/gid match the effective uid/gid. | |
| When the runtime determines the binary is setuid/setgid-like, it does two main | |
| things: | |
| - The value of the GOTRACEBACK environment variable is set to 'none'. | |
| - When a signal is received that terminates the program, or the program | |
| encounters an unrecoverable panic that would otherwise override the value | |
| of GOTRACEBACK, the goroutine stack, registers, and other memory related | |
| information are omitted. | |
| Additinally on Unix platforms the Go runtime automatically checks whether | |
| the standard input/output file descriptors (0, 1, 2) are open. If any of them are | |
| closed, they are opened pointing at /dev/null. | |
