Yup. This comes from the heritage of the plan 9 compilers. The plan 9 c compilers were 6c for amd64, 8g for 386, 5g for arm, and so on.
Because the go compiler can compile for all those targets it was called gc. People call it gc (lower case) and use GC (upper case) for "garbage collector" On Wednesday, 13 December 2017 10:33:17 UTC+11, erfang...@gmail.com wrote: > > Wooow. > > Question : Name of main go compiler is GC? > > > On Wednesday, December 13, 2017 at 2:59:46 AM UTC+3:30, Dave Cheney wrote: >> >> Do this >> >> cd $HOME >> curl >> https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.4-bootstrap-20170531.tar.gz | >> tar xz >> mv go go1.4 >> cd go1.4/src >> env CGO_ENABLED=0 ./make.bash >> cd $HOME >> git clone https://go.googlesource.com/go >> cd go/src >> git checkout go1.9.2 >> env GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP=$HOME/go1.4 ./make.bash >> echo '$PATH=$PATH:$HOME/go/bin" >> ~/.profile >> source ~/.profile >> >> >> On Wednesday, 13 December 2017 10:22:14 UTC+11, erfang...@gmail.com >> wrote: >>> >>> im want test main go compiler. >>> >>> so should try >>> https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.4-bootstrap-20170531.tar.gz ? >>> and tutorial at https://golang.org/doc/install/source#go14 >>> >>> >>> name of main go compiler is GC? >>> >>> >>> On Wednesday, December 13, 2017 at 2:45:34 AM UTC+3:30, Dave Cheney >>> wrote: >>>> >>>> Hello, >>>> >>>> Thanks for posting.
