Vendoring in std and cmd
========================

The Go command maintains copies of external packages needed by the
standard library in the src/vendor and src/cmd/vendor directories.

There are two modules, std and cmd, defined in src/go.mod and
src/cmd/go.mod. When a package outside std or cmd is imported
by a package inside std or cmd, the import path is interpreted
as if it had a "vendor/" prefix. For example, within "crypto/tls",

The [SliceAt(typ Type, p unsafe.Pointer, len int)] function
returns a Value representing a slice whose underlying array starts

	if err != nil {
		t.Fatalf("Stat failed: %v", err)
	}

	// Debug paths are stored slash-separated, so convert to system-native.
	srcPath = filepath.FromSlash(srcPath)
	fi2, err := os.Stat(srcPath)

	if err != nil {
		t.Fatalf("Stat failed: %v", err)
	}
	if !os.SameFile(fi1, fi2) {
		t.Fatalf("addr2line_test.go and %s are not same file", srcPath)
	}
	if want := "124"; srcLineNo != want {

Any value of comparable type may be canonicalized with the new
`Make[T]` function, which produces a reference to a canonical copy of
the value in the form of a `Handle[T]`.
Two `Handle[T]` are equal if and only if the values used to produce the
handles are equal, allowing programs to deduplicate values and reduce
their memory footprint.
Comparing two `Handle[T]` values is efficient, reducing down to a simple

### Timer changes

Go 1.23 makes two significant changes to the implementation of
[time.Timer] and [time.Ticker].

First, `Timer`s and `Ticker`s that are no longer referred to by the program
become eligible for garbage collection immediately, even if their
`Stop` methods have not been called.
Earlier versions of Go did not collect unstopped `Timer`s until after
they had fired and never collected unstopped `Ticker`s.

# Release Notes

The `initial` and `next` subdirectories of this directory are for release notes.

## For developers

Release notes should be added to `next` by editing existing files or creating
new files. **Do not add RELNOTE=yes comments in CLs.** Instead, add a file to
the CL (or ask the author to do so).

At the end of the development cycle, the files will be merged by being
concatenated in sorted order by pathname. Files in the directory matching the

The [Stat] function now sets the [ModeSocket] bit for
files that are Unix sockets on Windows. These files are identified

Errors returned by [driver.Valuer] implementations are now wrapped for
improved error handling during operations like [DB.Query], [DB.Exec],

The new methods synonymous with the method of the same name
in [Value] are added to [Type]:
1. [Type.OverflowComplex]
2. [Type.OverflowFloat]
3. [Type.OverflowInt]
