iter/README.md

1.6 KiB

PLEASE ACCEPT MY APPOLOGIES FOR DOING THIS. I DID THIS TO MAKE OLD VERSIONS OF GO WORK.

If you are reading this, I'm sorry.

This probably won't work because of src/runtime/coro.go But, it might fucking limp along and maybe fucking compile enough of some sort of monster that'll work enough to get out of some mess and help find and build golang 1.24

GO 1.24 added 'iter' and it is awesome. I want to use it and I've converted autogenpb to use it in the auto generated Sort() and Gui() functions.

The problem is I have so many systems and os's to support that I can't be sure that I can even get version 1.24 installed which means I can't even compile the tooling I need to figure out what is going on.

This is because there are so many embedded riscv half ass, broken, or poorly configured enviornments that there are no known things. Then there are all the hardware design enviornments that are complicated. (skywater, tiny tapeout, efabless, etc devs)

It's probably going to take me all year to convert everything and even know if I can get version 1.24 to work everywhere.

This package is more difficult than it should be because I couldn't use:

internal/race
internal/abi
internal/goarch

I would vote against having anything in the compiler marked as internal/ other than an example of how that feature works for the developers that want it. It is NOT a feature the compiler itself should use. I would suggest making

/internal/example

This package would be better as golang.org/iter but I don't know who to ask about doing that.
