If the line ends with "(forced)", this GC was forced by a
runtime.GC() call.
- madvdontneed: setting madvdontneed=1 will use MADV_DONTNEED
- instead of MADV_FREE on Linux when returning memory to the
- kernel. This is less efficient, but causes RSS numbers to drop
- more quickly.
+ inittrace: setting inittrace=1 causes the runtime to emit a single line to standard
+ error for each package with init work, summarizing the execution time and memory
+ allocation. No information is printed for inits executed as part of plugin loading
+ and for packages without both user defined and compiler generated init work.
+ The format of this line is subject to change. Currently, it is:
+ init # @#ms, # ms clock, # bytes, # allocs
+ where the fields are as follows:
+ init # the package name
+ @# ms time in milliseconds when the init started since program start
+ # clock wall-clock time for package initialization work
+ # bytes memory allocated on the heap
+ # allocs number of heap allocations
+
+ madvdontneed: setting madvdontneed=0 will use MADV_FREE
+ instead of MADV_DONTNEED on Linux when returning memory to the
+ kernel. This is more efficient, but means RSS numbers will
+ drop only when the OS is under memory pressure.
memprofilerate: setting memprofilerate=X will update the value of runtime.MemProfileRate.
When set to 0 memory profiling is disabled. Refer to the description of
