    This week I got a request for a documented overview of the compiler and how it integrates with the Go compiler and runtime. I have just written the starting point of such a document and added it to the Oden repository. If you’re interested, have a look at doc/compiler-overview.md.

  • Source Mapping

    The Go compiler supports mapping between original source information and generated Go code with the line compiler directive.
