There is one goroutine, the main one, waiting on a select and there are no other goroutines that can do anything to let that goroutine progress. That's a deadlock. If the other goroutines were in a loop sending-receiving messages, it wouldn't be a deadlock. > And When I run this code with go run -race main.go in Linux box(go version > go1.13.6 linux/amd64), it prints "received 5" waits forever. > I expect same to happen, when built and run. > > Sorry, if this is already answered, please point me. > > Thanks , > Aravindhan K > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "golang-nuts" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to golang-nuts+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/golang-nuts/5eeffc06-15e6-47d8-a662-43746f2e8fe5%40googlegroups.com. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
