(which implies that it may not return a string, slice, channel, and so
forth). A Go function called by C code may take C pointers as arguments,
and it may store non-pointer data, C pointers, or Go pointers to pinned
memory through those pointers. It may not store a Go pointer to unpinned
memory in memory pointed to by a C pointer (which again, implies that it
may not store a string, slice, channel, and so forth). A Go function

use a synchronization mechanism such as a lock or channel
communication to establish a relative ordering.

<h3 id="chan">Channel communication</h3>

<p>
Channel communication is the main method of synchronization
between goroutines.  Each send on a particular channel
is matched to a corresponding receive from that channel,
usually in a different goroutine.

### Go 1.23

Go 1.23 changed the channels created by package time to be unbuffered
(synchronous), which makes correct use of the [`Timer.Stop`](/pkg/time/#Timer.Stop)
and [`Timer.Reset`](/pkg/time/#Timer.Reset) method results much easier.
