This environment variable can be set to 5, 6, or 7 and controls which
ARM version (ARMv5, ARMv6, ARMv7) is used when compiling for GOARCH=arm.
I have picked the default value ARMv6, which I believe is supported on
most common single board computers including all Raspberry Pis. The
difference in code size is pretty big.
We could even go further and support ARMv4 if anybody is interested. It
should be pretty simple to add this if needed.
This change implements a new "scheduler" for WebAssembly using binaryen's asyncify transform.
This is more reliable than the current "coroutines" transform, and works with non-Go code in the call stack.
runtime (js/wasm): handle scheduler nesting
If WASM calls into JS which calls back into WASM, it is possible for the scheduler to nest.
The event from the callback must be handled immediately, so the task cannot simply be deferred to the outer scheduler.
This creates a minimal scheduler loop which is used to handle such nesting.
First look at the VERSION file, only then look at
src/runtime/internal/sys/zversion.go. This makes it possible to
correctly detect the Go version for release candidates.
This is needed to make it available to more packages, for caching
purposes.
For caching, the version itself may not be enough during development.
But for regular releases, the version provides some protection against
accidentally using a cache entry that is invalid in a newer version.
This is necessary to avoid a circular dependency in the loader (which
soon will need to read the Go version) and because it seems like a
better place anyway.
This makes it possible to query these environment variables from
anywhere, which might be useful. More importantly, it puts them in a
central location from where they can be queried, useful for a `go env`
subcommand.
