I have tried to find some onformation about how OS-threads are created, and what their roles are. I know that this doesn't really matter in a lot of cases since goroutines are multiplexed on top of OS-threads and they are usually created at startup of the program, but I'm just trying to understand what is happening.
Can someone help me understand this? So far, what I have found from various sources is: - GOMAXPROCS-number of threads are created to run Go-code, which used to default to 1, but now defaults to the number of processors (whatever the system shows as a processor) available to the machine. - If the code requires a syscall or has the potential to block, another thread is created for this. - More thread(s) are created for GC All of this is probably system-dependent, and Go-version dependent as well, so I know it's not the easiest thing to answer in a simple way. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
