<h4 class="subsection">15.4.3 Go</h4>
<p><a name="index-Go-_0028programming-language_0029-1014"></a><span class="sc">gdb</span> can be used to debug programs written in Go and compiled with
<samp><span class="file">gccgo</span></samp> or <samp><span class="file">6g</span></samp> compilers.
<p>Here is a summary of the Go-specific features and restrictions:
<a name="index-current-Go-package-1015"></a>
<dl><dt><code>The current Go package</code><dd>The name of the current package does not need to be specified when
specifying global variables and functions.
<p>For example, given the program:
<pre class="example"> package main
var myglob = "Shall we?"
func main () {
// ...
}
</pre>
<p>When stopped inside <code>main</code> either of these work:
<pre class="example"> (gdb) p myglob
(gdb) p main.myglob
</pre>
<p><a name="index-builtin-Go-types-1016"></a><br><dt><code>Builtin Go types</code><dd>The <code>string</code> type is recognized by <span class="sc">gdb</span> and is printed
as a string.
<p><a name="index-builtin-Go-functions-1017"></a><br><dt><code>Builtin Go functions</code><dd>The <span class="sc">gdb</span> expression parser recognizes the <code>unsafe.Sizeof</code>
function and handles it internally.
<p><a name="index-restrictions-on-Go-expressions-1018"></a><br><dt><code>Restrictions on Go expressions</code><dd>All Go operators are supported except <code>&amp;^</code>.
The Go <code>_</code> &ldquo;blank identifier&rdquo; is not supported.
Automatic dereferencing of pointers is not supported.
