I looked at the source but can't understand it well enough.
If I allocate a [1000]byte, or a []byte, I understand the GC will need to
mark the slice/array itself for collection. However, does the GC mark all
the bytes within, and does the marking phase attempt to follow all the
items?
Will the GC pause longer if I allocate a large array?
Additionally, if the array type is actually [10000]struct{*int}, then
surely it must follow the array as those pointers may be the only
references to some data somewhere. Does the GC know not to follow types
that contain no references?
Thanks for any advice in this area.
