Thanks all. If that is the case, in below code main go routine will a reach a situation where no other go routines running to wake it up. But no deadlock is not detected. https://play.golang.org/p/z1NMYQAi0KY May I assume deadlock - detection couldn't pick up this scenario? By using empty select{}, doesn't the coder purposely wishes to block forever?
