more specific CC_FOR_${GOOS}_${GOARCH} (for example, CC_FOR_linux_arm)
environment variable when building the toolchain using make.bash,
or you can set the CC environment variable any time you run the go tool.

The CXX_FOR_TARGET, CXX_FOR_${GOOS}_${GOARCH}, and CXX
environment variables work in a similar way for C++ code.

A GODEBUG setting is a `key=value` pair
that controls the execution of certain parts of a Go program.
The environment variable `GODEBUG`
can hold a comma-separated list of these settings.
For example, if a Go program is running in an environment that contains

	GODEBUG=http2client=0,http2server=0

// sufficient to initialize a [Buffer].
func NewBuffer(buf []byte) *Buffer { return &Buffer{buf: buf} }

// NewBufferString creates and initializes a new [Buffer] using string s as its
// initial contents. It is intended to prepare a buffer to read an existing
// string.
//
// In most cases, new([Buffer]) (or just declaring a [Buffer] variable) is
// sufficient to initialize a [Buffer].

// (booleans, numbers, strings, pointers, channels, arrays of comparable types,
// structs whose fields are all comparable types).
// The comparable interface may only be used as a type parameter constraint,
// not as the type of a variable.
type comparable interface{ comparable }

// iota is a predeclared identifier representing the untyped integer ordinal
// number of the current const specification in a (usually parenthesized)

// guessKinds tricks gcc into revealing the kind of each
// name xxx for the references C.xxx in the Go input.
// The kind is either a constant, type, or variable.
func (p *Package) guessKinds(f *File) []*Name {
	// Determine kinds for names we already know about,
	// like #defines or 'struct foo', before bothering with gcc.
	var names, needType []*Name

The value of <code>GOMIPS</code> environment variable (<code>hardfloat</code> or

// A future version of Go may introduce this behavior by default.

The Go memory model specifies the conditions under which
reads of a variable in one goroutine can be guaranteed to
observe values produced by writes to the same variable in a different goroutine.
