Because it includes a Go pointer, the memory it points to is only pinned
for the duration of the call; _GoString_ values may not be retained by C
code.

A Go function called by C code may return a Go pointer to pinned memory
(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

the function call.

<p>
The final case, a value-receiver function for a pointer-receiver method,
is illegal because pointer-receiver methods are not in the method set
of the value type.

<p>
Function values derived from methods are called with function call syntax;
the receiver is provided as the first argument to the call.

// Split panics if it is called after scanning has started.

// The recover built-in function allows a program to manage behavior of a

// function (but not any function called by it) stops the panicking sequence

`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.

Second, the timer channel associated with a `Timer` or `Ticker` is
now unbuffered, with capacity 0.
The main effect of this change is that Go now guarantees
that for any call to a `Reset` or `Stop` method, no stale values

	// "SCHILY.xattr." namespace.
	//
	// The following are semantically equivalent:
	//  h.Xattrs[key] = value
	//  h.PAXRecords["SCHILY.xattr."+key] = value
	//
	// When Writer.WriteHeader is called, the contents of Xattrs will take
	// precedence over those in PAXRecords.
	//
	// Deprecated: Use PAXRecords instead.
	Xattrs map[string]string

	// PAXRecords is a map of PAX extended header records.
	//

execution terminates by returning to its caller.

The return value of <code>recover</code> is <code>nil</code> when the
goroutine is not panicking or <code>recover</code> was not called directly by a deferred function.
Conversely, if a goroutine is panicking and <code>recover</code> was called directly by a deferred function,

	CALL	runtime·externalthreadhandler(SB)
	RET

In the general case, the frame size is followed by an argument size, separated by a minus sign.
(It's not a subtraction, just idiosyncratic syntax.)
The frame size <code>$24-8</code> states that the function has a 24-byte frame
and is called with 8 bytes of argument, which live on the caller's frame.

These kinds of changes are unavoidable and
[permitted by the Go 1 compatibility rules](/doc/go1compat).
Even so, Go provides a mechanism called GODEBUG to
reduce the impact such changes have on Go developers
using newer toolchains to compile old code.

A GODEBUG setting is a `key=value` pair
that controls the execution of certain parts of a Go program.
