As they say global variables/things are bad. But I even use a global Context and WaitGroup for signaling the termination of the whole program. On exit the context will get canceled and the program waits for the WaitGroup with a timeout. I would like to have those inside another built-in package.
There are many cases (/packages) that one can not pass the Context (and the WaitGroup) to each and every goroutine. It's possible to define a struct and use it as a closure for those functions(now methods). But one has to rewrite the whole interface to a package. Forcing the function signature *everywhere* is not a practice/pattern anymore (hint: if it was not forced to be *everywhere*, it was a pattern). It's something else. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
