Prelude This is the second post in a four part series that will provide an understanding of the mechanics and design behind pointers, stacks, heaps, escape analysis and value/pointer semantics in Go. This post focuses on heaps and escape analysis. Index of the four part series: L...
Debugging is highly useful to examine the execution flow and to understand the current state of a program. A core file is a file that contains the memory dump of a running process and its process status. It is primarily used for post-mortem debugging of a program, as well as to u...
The Digispark is perhaps as small as a microcontroller board for DIY electronics can get. This is a short writedown about my first experiences with controlling this board through Go code, using Gobot and LittleWire.
