Understanding the Go Compiler - Jesús Espino
Understand the inner workings of the Go compiler, from lexical analysis to code generation, and discover how optimization techniques ensure efficient assembly code and runtime performance.
- The Go compiler is a complex process that involves multiple stages, including lexical analysis, syntax analysis, semantic analysis, and code generation.
- The lexer converts source code into tokens, which are then fed into the parser to generate an abstract syntax tree (AST).
- The SSA (Static Single Assignment) form is used to represent the program’s IR (Intermediate Representation), which is then optimized using various passes, including the lowering pass.
- The lowering pass transforms the SSA form into assembly code, which is then linked with the runtime to generate the final executable binary.
- The Go compiler uses various techniques to optimize the generated assembly code, including function inlining, escape analysis, and SSA optimizations.
- The runtime is responsible for managing resources, such as memory and goroutines, and provides a way for Go programs to interact with the operating system.
- The system call (syscall) is used to interact with the operating system, and the Go runtime provides a way to make syscalls.
- The Go compiler has many passes that are applied to the source code, including the parser, semantics, and code generation passes.
- The AST is an intermediate representation of the source code that is used by the compiler to generate assembly code.
- The SSA form is used to represent the program’s IR, and is used to optimize the generated assembly code.
