Go does not prevent the operating system from implementing Data Execution Prevention. If the OS implements it, it will apply to Go programs as it does to programs written in any other language. Go supports ASLR on GNU/Linux systems by passing -buildmode=pie to `go build` or `go install`. -buildmode=pie is currently supported on GNU/Linux and Android systems. Since the 1.9 release support was added for Darwin amd64. It should be straightforward to add support for other Unix systems, if anybody wants to do that. I don't know what would be involved in adding support for Windows. Ian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
