The Go internals unofficial wiki

The Go internals unofficial wiki formerly published on goin.wikispot.org used to be a valuable resource for developers interested in the internal operation of the Go runtime.

Regrettably, it disappeared when the owner of the wikispot.org domain abandoned it in April 2014.

I spent a couple of hours earlier today restoring and reformatting its content, which is now available again, in the Go section of the Audean wiki.

Appreciate the info, but with a cool head : its content was current in 2014, not last !

On the menu:

• Information about the Go assembler
• The FS register in the Go assembler
• The g variable and G type for goroutines
• The get_tls(r) assembler macro
• The m variable and M type for threads
• Collected information about the content of some source files
• How the segmented stack used to work until it was replaced in Go 1.4
• The stdcall and other calling conventions of the x86 architecture
• The textflag 7 flag and the linker
• Collected articles found on other sites, also related to the internal operation of the Go runtime
• The operation of thread local storage
