gdb: Go

 
 15.4.3 Go
 ---------
 
 GDB can be used to debug programs written in Go and compiled with
 'gccgo' or '6g' compilers.
 
    Here is a summary of the Go-specific features and restrictions:
 
 'The current Go package'
      The name of the current package does not need to be specified when
      specifying global variables and functions.
 
      For example, given the program:
 
           package main
           var myglob = "Shall we?"
           func main () {
             // ...
           }
 
      When stopped inside 'main' either of these work:
 
           (gdb) p myglob
           (gdb) p main.myglob
 
 'Builtin Go types'
      The 'string' type is recognized by GDB and is printed as a string.
 
 'Builtin Go functions'
      The GDB expression parser recognizes the 'unsafe.Sizeof' function
      and handles it internally.
 
 'Restrictions on Go expressions'
      All Go operators are supported except '&^'.  The Go '_' "blank
      identifier" is not supported.  Automatic dereferencing of pointers
      is not supported.
