Hi, I have noticed on my macbook pro that HeapInUse is always slightly above NextGC when the garbage collection occurs.
According to mstats.go, the "garbage collector's goal is to keep HeapAlloc less than NextGC" and also according to mstats.go, "HeapInUse minus HeapAlloc estimates the amount of memory that has been dedicated to particular size classes, but is not currently being used" so it makes sense that HeapInUse rises above NextGC, and also that HeapIdle gets smaller as we get closer to NextGC. However, on my windows machine, as shown in this attached video, the garbage collections are occuring well below the NextGC level. When the number of garabge collections changes from 4 to 5, the number of Allocations is well below the nextGC level. https://youtube.com/shorts/jf6DoEQSnMk?feature=share On both the Mac and Windows machine, the nextGC level is the same. Question: Why is the garbage collection happening much sooner on the Windows than the Mac? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
