[go-nuts] Re: A modest format suggestion

It wasn't mentioned here but I really like how C# IDE helps understanding function arguments. It's entirely true that arguments should have meaningful names but sometimes it's impossible. Standard C# function comments let you document arguments. The argument comment appears right when you need

Re: [go-nuts] Timer.Reset() (again...)

I have nothing to comment about timer.Reset() but your pseudo code made me wonder if there's an interval timer available in the library, and of course it is. In the example you aim to do some work periodically, until another type of work succeeds. That's not a plain meaning of a timeout. In add

Re: [go-nuts] Re: Slice reuse + GC

Wait, by saying it would be nice to have the GC not trace elements between len and cap, you mean it would be nice to have GC recognize unreferenced elements of a slice between len and cap and free them (presumably if they are pointer or interface types)? OK, I would say Go has quirks but I'm th

Re: [go-nuts] Slice reuse + GC

t of "freeing" the elements in-between. Anyway, I assume slices are meant to be an abstract pointers to arrays and thus they should only change the visibility not the array On Thursday, March 26, 2020 at 7:19:16 PM UTC+1, Leszek Kubik wrote: > > I let you consider an example: &g

Re: [go-nuts] Slice reuse + GC

I let you consider an example: s := make([]*T, 100) s1, s2, s3 := s[:50], s[50:], s[:] ( x lines of code) s1 = s1[:5] Would you like the GC to free the elements past the last s1 slice len? What if s2, s3 are still used somewhere... On Thursday, March 26, 2020 at 7:01:34 PM UTC+1, robfig wr

[go-nuts] Re: Slice reuse + GC

AFAIK it is allowed to re-slice past the len but it's rather not the way slices should be ever used. The word slice implies taking a portion from a bigger thing and that's always safe. When you append to the slice however, there's no new allocation if the underlying buffer still has place past t

[go-nuts] Re: I'm writing my website in golang but there is issue called 404 page not found

Hello, It would be much clearer if you posted a complete sample of a Go code. Which framework are you using for the server? I guess it could be something with the server config, can it accept POST methods? Did you test the server first, independently of your frontend, by using curl or PostMan?
