Constants

const CacheLinePadSize = 64

const GOARCH = "amd64"

Variables

var ARM arm

var ARM64 arm64

var CacheLineSize uintptr = CacheLinePadSize

CacheLineSize is the CPU's assumed cache line size. There is currently no runtime detection of the real cache line size so we use the constant per GOARCH CacheLinePadSize as an approximation.

var DebugOptions bool

DebugOptions is set to true by the runtime if go was compiled with GOEXPERIMENT=debugcpu and GOOS is Linux or Darwin. This should not be changed after it is initialized.

var PPC64 ppc64

var S390X s390x

var X86 x86

Functions

func Initialize

func Initialize(env string)

Initialize examines the processor and sets the relevant variables above. This is called by the runtime package early in program initialization, before normal init functions are run. env is set by runtime on Linux and Darwin if go was compiled with GOEXPERIMENT=debugcpu.

Types

type CacheLinePad

type CacheLinePad struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

CacheLinePad is used to pad structs to avoid false sharing.
