[go-nuts] Re: Go 1.9 Beta 2 is released
It is certainly a micro-benchmark. I just wanted to ask in case it was
expected since I use golang on ARM based embedded systems a lot and they
tend to be sensitive to binary size. In the tests, my binary is stripped
(-ldflags="-w -s"), so I wouldn't think the size difference is related to
the changes that were made to add additional DWARF info, etc. When I
checked the cross compiled Linux ARM 7 sizes for the hello world program,
they are also up in go1.9 beta.
go version go1.8.3 darwin/amd64
$ GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm GOARM=7 go build -ldflags="-w -s"
dozer2:test Parker$ ls -l
total 1824
-rw-r--r-- 1 Parker staff 79 Jun 16 18:47 main.go

go version devel +eab99a8 Mon Jun 26 21:12:22 2017 + darwin/amd64
$ GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm GOARM=7 go build -ldflags="-w -s"
$ ls -l

-rw-r--r-- 1 Parker staff 79 Jun 16 18:47 main.go
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Parker staff 1107256 Jun 30 06:36 test
Checking the hello world HTTP server program:
package main
import (
"net/http"
)
func main() {
http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
w.Write([]byte("Hello world!"))
})
panic(http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil))
}
The size is also up a bit from go1.8 -> go1.9 on both darwin amd64 and
linux_arm (7), though a smaller percentage than the basic hello world.
go version go1.8.3 darwin/amd64
$ go build -ldflags="-w -s"

I can check it out for bigger/more realistic programs as well.

Unstripped "hello world"s are ~20% bigger on my Linux system too, but
it seems like the loss is much smaller on real programs, e.g. see Brad

[go-nuts] Re: Go 1.9 Beta 2 is released
Congratulations on the Beta 2 release, pretty excited to test it out. Lots
of interesting updates!
I did notice one thing when I was playing around with Beta 1 and now Beta 2
that I wanted to ask about. Is it expected that binary size would increase
in this release? A toy example that has been somewhat of a benchmark in
previous releases is the simple hello world program:
package main
import (
"fmt"
)
func main() {
fmt.Println("Hello world!")
}
It seems like this program, when compiled with options to strip debugging
information has grown about 20% in size when compiled natively for macOS:
go version go1.8.3 darwin/amd64
$ go build -ldflags="-w -s"
$ ls -l
total 2320
-rw-r--r-- 1 Parker staff 79 Jun 16 18:47 main.go
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Parker staff 1181728 Jun 29 07:24 test
go version devel +eab99a8 Mon Jun 26 21:12:22 2017 + darwin/amd64
$ go build -ldflags="-w -s"
$ ls -l
total 2792
-rw-r--r-- 1 Parker staff 79 Jun 16 18:47 main.go
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Parker staff 1424992 Jun 29 07:11 test
Anyone have any insight on whether this is expected and if a similar
increase should be expected across the board in this release?
Thanks,
Parker
