Hi, golang nuts, Let's think about this snippet: https://play.golang.org/p/3cNGho3gWTG
In the code snippet, a ticker is activating and another that that is closing, it seems that they can happen concurrently and result in two different outcomes: either ticker case being executed first or the other way around. It is because of the pseudo-randomization of the select statement. Intuitively, the close statement should happens-before select statement that starts choosing which case should be executing, and select a closed channel with the highest priority to prevent another receive case being executed once more. My questions are: Does the Go team or anybody else think of this memory order before? What was the decision that didn't make it? If not, is it worth to be defined within the language? There are no language changes and only affects the runtime implementation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
