The vast majority of users of Go toolchains have no need for binaries like the go command and compiler to include DWARF information, and the DWARF information is 34% of the size of the overall Go toolchain zip files (14% when the toolchain is unzipped on disk, because other parts get bigger). To save network and disk, disable DWARF in build release binaries. DWARF remains enabled when developing in the main branch (signaled by no VERSION file existing), for better debuggability when actually working on the compiler and go command. Note that removing DWARF does not break the backtraces shown when a binary panics, nor does it break other uses of stack traces from within a Go program, such as runtime.Callers. To build a release toolchain with DWARF included, people can use GO_LDFLAGS=-w=0 ./make.bash Change-Id: Ib0bbe1446adca4599066b2fb2f2734e6825c1106 Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/475378 Auto-Submit: Russ Cox <rsc@golang.org> Run-TryBot: Russ Cox <rsc@golang.org> Reviewed-by: Ian Lance Taylor <iant@google.com> TryBot-Result: Gopher Robot <gobot@golang.org> |
