I am running the following program: package main
import ( "math/rand" "os" "gopkg.in/cheggaaa/pb.v1" ) func random(min, max int) int { return rand.Intn(max - min) + min } var data = "" const TestDataCount = 20000 func main() { bar := pb.StartNew(TestDataCount) f,_ := os.Create("HelloWorld.txt") for i := 0; i < TestDataCount; i++ { data = data + "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus.

I have been experiencing this problem with a number of variables I am working with while programming,* and this as never been a problem until today. *Did I change something with my environment that causes the program to pause when it it encounters large variables? There is no error encountered, the progress bar just stops progressing for an indefinite period of time. $go env: GOARCH="amd64" GOBIN="" GOEXE="" GOHOSTARCH="amd64" GOHOSTOS="darwin" GOOS="darwin" GOPATH="/Users/kacquah/go" GORACE="" GOROOT="/usr/local/go" GOTOOLDIR="/usr/local/go/pkg/tool/darwin_amd64" GCCGO="gccgo" CC="clang" GOGCCFLAGS="-fPIC -m64 -pthread -fno-caret-diagnostics -Qunused-arguments -fmessage-length=0 -fdebug-prefix-map=/var/folders/rw/y6pvhwns1ll84hmqj713bhts3lrtvf/T/go-build011121998=/tmp/go-build -gno-record-gcc-switches -fno-common" CXX="clang++" CGO_ENABLED="1" PKG_CONFIG="pkg-config" CGO_CFLAGS="-g -O2" CGO_CPPFLAGS="" CGO_CXXFLAGS="-g -O2" CGO_FFLAGS="-g -O2" CGO_LDFLAGS="-g -O2" Thanks, Ken -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
