Hi all, I was just toying around with pointers to slice elements, and I ended up with this Go program: https://play.golang.org/p/D6e2SHEW1f. By the end of the program, all references to memory in the main function are dropped, but memory isn't freed after a call to runtime.GC(). This happens both in the Go Playground and on my local machine (though the latter is running Go 1.6).
Is it just that runtime.GC() is not triggering a full GC and a later run would clear the memory? Any insight here would be appreciated, as I'm really curious now. Also, this isn't just a toy problem; it reflects some actual code I'm working on. Thanks, - Drew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
