As Ian said, your question is not completely clear. I think you are Saying that "I got scheduled!" prints 3 times, then the program appears to "hangs" on the runtime.GC() call.
To start with, it is usually helpful to create a *minimal *program when dealing with questions like this. Your program can be reduced to https://play.golang.org/p/-9ekKOxyVoc: package main import ( "fmt" "runtime" "time" ) func deadloop() { for { //runtime.Gosched() } } func main() { go deadloop() i := 3 for { time.Sleep(time.Second * 1) i-- fmt.Println("I got scheduled!", i) if i == 0 { runtime.GC() //will set gcwaiting=1， causes other goroutines not to be scheduled } } } This prints: I got scheduled! 2 I got scheduled! 1 I got scheduled! 0 Then hangs. I believe that what you are seeing is a result of the GC needing to briefly pause all goroutines. Go uses something like cooperative multithreading for goroutines. Your deadloop() function can not be preempted under the current implentation of the go compiler. So the call to runtime.GC() hangs waiting to pause all goroutines. If you un comment the runtime.Gosched() call on line 11, then your program will work as expected. The details of premtion are implementation dependant, and work is being done to improve the situation. There is a lot of information available, but if you have a long running loop that makes no function calls, then it is a good idea to call runtime.Gosched() every so often. It is also important to note that the behavior of runtime.GC() is not the exactly same as the normal backgound GC that gets run by the runtime. In particular runtime.GC() will block until GC is completed, whereas the noral gc does most of its work while allowing the program to continue running. Hope that helps.
