    I love how people are rediscovering Arenas again! They are pretty much all I use for all my allocation needs because an arena equates to a lifetime group for allocations. And using arenas (like in Odin), you can just free all of the things at once rather than individually (e.g. paired malloc/free in C), which means in practice, you rarely need to free anything manually and just allocate when needed. And because arenas are really simple allocators, they are as fast as they can possibly get compared to any other memory allocation strategy.

    6:05 regarding Go's GC. This is a very simplified overview because I can't detail it all in the comments, but the GC in go is mostly concurrent. It's a mark and sweep GC and when it kicks in, it takes 25% of the cores to identify what needs to be cleaned and what can live on. It does stop the world for a little bit for the cleanup but in general allocations can still happen when the GC is working since 75% of the go routines running are doing your work as opposed to 25% for the GC.
    I love Arenas btw.

    6:02 Yes, it is. In one application I made for Domotic, the program creates an array of about 2GB so that GC is only called when a lot of memory is used. There is probably a better way to do it, but that worked at the time and was never changed.

    • @FabulousFadz
      @FabulousFadz Год назад +1

      Avoiding garbage collections can kind of be achieved by setting GOGC and specifying a soft memory limit. GOGC by default is 100. This number is a percentage meaning (over simplified here) that if your app is using 20MiBs of memory between the live heap, go routines, and other global pointers the GC will try to complete a cycle before the next 20MiB is allocated. If you set GOGC=200 that means in this case you can allocate an additional 40MiB before the GC kicks in.
      You can set this in combination with a memory limit which is a limit for all memory (heap, go routines, globals, stack). Regardless of the GOGC setting, the limit will be honored by the garbage collector (soft limit so this is a ballpark figure). Doubling the GOGC value will double the heap size and halve the GC CPU cost. Lastly, setting GOGC=off and a high GOMEMLIMIT, say around the 2GiB mark you mentioned, will allow your program to keep allocating until it is approaching that memory limit at which point the GC will kick in to get rid of dead objects.

    I think in the javascript vs go example, Go would probably have to track pointers to other things and track that separately. However, if you are using a value, it would be just like part of the struct as in C (the same block of memory).
    I think a good example of this is slices where the slice header has a pointer to an array under the hood, similar to a standard array list. Copying a slice header would copy the pointer to the array, but not the array. If you do stuff to that slice while the original is unchanged, I think the copied one will eventually create a new array. Run the below test for example. You should see the capacity changing and the appends I think will cause a copy to new arrays in both. But in this case they'd be different arrays now under the hood.
    func TestSlice(t *testing.T) {
    s1 := []int{1, 2, 3}
    s2 := s1[1:]
    t.Logf("s1: %v, s2: %v", s1, s2)
    t.Logf("s1 len: %v, cap: %v", len(s1), cap(s1))
    t.Logf("s2 len: %v, cap: %v", len(s2), cap(s2))
    s2 = s2[1:]
    t.Logf("s1: %v, s2: %v", s1, s2)
    t.Logf("s1 len: %v, cap: %v", len(s1), cap(s1))
    t.Logf("s2 len: %v, cap: %v", len(s2), cap(s2))
    s2 = s2[1:]
    t.Logf("s1: %v, s2: %v", s1, s2)
    t.Logf("s1 len: %v, cap: %v", len(s1), cap(s1))
    t.Logf("s2 len: %v, cap: %v", len(s2), cap(s2))
    s2 = append(s2, 4)
    t.Logf("s1: %v, s2: %v", s1, s2)
    t.Logf("s1 len: %v, cap: %v", len(s1), cap(s1))

    This is effectively like a stack memory that is unwound and returned once you are done with whatever you wanted to do. Ofcourse it's a lot more flexible and I can imagine you can implement this directly on top of an OS call to fetch / return memory pages. So you use a whole page at once and return it once you are done.

    I never understood the point of garbage collection. For simple allocations it doesn't provide any benefit and for complex allocations it doesn't do what you want and you need to do some weird tricks to try to make it do the right thing. And all the time there is this mysterious performance killing process going on in the background which is extremely difficult to observe or control. As a C++ programmer I never do manual memory allocation on principal and everything "just works" and is super fast.

    Maybe it has changed in recent versions, but the Go GC used to work by stopping the world long enough for the GC thread to scan memory, then it would release the global lock and deallocate unused objects in the background. Of course, this applies only to memory on the heap; if you can avoid the heap altogether, then you can avoid spending time in the GC stop-the-world (easier said than done, especially if you have data that needs to be accessed concurrently via Mutex/RWMutex).

    I've written a few hundred projects in go and I honestly think this feature will lead to more wasted time than anything. Go needs to change how it allocates memory by having memory semantics. This could be achieved through the type system internals but instead of doing that they add generics and more ways to complicate your memory model. Every problem their generics implementation solves could have been covered by allowing interfaces to specify data, allowing structs to have predefined values (thus omitting the need for interfaces in the first place), or just allowing operator overloads (which would also solve some of the problems the current generics implementation introduced).
    It's crazy to me. They work so god damned hard to solve irrelevant problems. Parametric syntaxes are all you need.

    Write code in C++ and use custom memory allocators and RAII, use flyweight pattern.
    How would you flyweight in go😂?

      this isn't generation gc stuff (already in go, ts, jvm as you said) this is controlled regions of code where you can clean up 100x objects in a single call.

    I really wanted to give golang a try but not being able to compile my code if I have an unused import or variable is a bummer. The fact that golang team isn't officially introducing a flag or something to be used while debugging the code is saddening. Their stance is "it will make the compile time slower & result in bad code" is childish. Many language compilers remove unused codes when building for production, but treat unused imports/variable a warning instead of an error. But golang is like, "we don't do it here" 😑 not gonna use golang unless they fix that issue. Otherwise sticking with rust and typescript. Thanks to golang team for upsetting so many new golang learners & forcing them to never try golang again 👏
