All you are doing is replicating manual memory management. If you are going to do that just use CGo with malloc & free so you will have decent debugging.
If not, don’t do this at all and let the GC do its work (but Go lack of a generational GC might be an issue here). > On Jul 20, 2020, at 12:47 PM, Jan Mercl <0xj...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Check https://godoc.org/modernc.org/memory, maybe it can be used in this > scenario.
