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
called by C code may take a Go pointer but it must preserve the property
that the Go memory to which it points (and the Go memory to which that

by a package inside std or cmd, the import path is interpreted
as if it had a "vendor/" prefix. For example, within "crypto/tls",
an import of "golang.org/x/crypto/cryptobyte" resolves to
"vendor/golang.org/x/crypto/cryptobyte". When a package with the
same path is imported from a package outside std or cmd, it will
be resolved normally. Consequently, a binary may be built with two

// The append built-in function appends elements to the end of a slice. If
// it has sufficient capacity, the destination is resliced to accommodate the
// new elements. If it does not, a new underlying array will be allocated.
// Append returns the updated slice. It is therefore necessary to store the

The new [ParseCookie] function parses a Cookie header value and
returns all the cookies which were set in it. Since the same cookie
name can appear multiple times the returned Values can contain
more than one value for a given key.

The new [ParseSetCookie] function parses a Set-Cookie header value and

This behavior is controlled by the `winsymlink` setting.
For Go 1.23, it defaults to `winsymlink=1`.
Previous versions default to `winsymlink=0`.

On Windows, [EvalSymlinks] no longer tries to normalize
volumes to drive letters, which was not always even possible.
This behavior is controlled by the `winreadlinkvolume` setting.
For Go 1.23, it defaults to `winreadlinkvolume=1`.

The [SetCrashOutput] function allows the user to specify an alternate
file to which the runtime should write its fatal crash report.
It may be used to construct an automated reporting mechanism for all
unexpected crashes, not just those in goroutines that explicitly use
