<p>
A "select" statement chooses which of a set of possible
<a href="#Send_statements">send</a> or
<a href="#Receive_operator">receive</a>
operations will proceed.
It looks similar to a
<a href="#Switch_statements">"switch"</a> statement but with the
cases all referring to communication operations.

<pre class="ebnf">
SelectStmt = "select" "{" { CommClause } "}" .

The <code>get_tls</code> macro takes one argument, which is the register to load the
<code>g</code> pointer into.
</p>

<p>
For example, the sequence to load <code>g</code> and <code>m</code>
using <code>CX</code> looks like this:
</p>

<pre>
#include "go_tls.h"
#include "go_asm.h"
...
get_tls(CX)
MOVL	g(CX), AX     // Move g into AX.
MOVL	g_m(AX), BX   // Move g.m into BX.
</pre>

<p>
A type parameter list declares the <i>type parameters</i> of a generic function or type declaration.
The type parameter list looks like an ordinary <a href="#Function_types">function parameter list</a>
except that the type parameter names must all be present and the list is enclosed
in square brackets rather than parentheses
