When the time quantum is sufficiently large (say 30 instructions), the variable being passed as an argument in the creation of a new goroutine may be modified by the calling goroutine as it is not evaluated at the time when the new goroutine is created.
Since context is not switched yet as the time quantum is not reached, the calling goroutine can continue running before the newly created goroutine can run. The calling goroutine modifies the value of the variable(s) being passed into the goroutine's argument(s), resulting in the new goroutine using the arguments of possibly wrong values, despite it being supposed to be "passed by value", which means that the argument is not evaluated yet.
should print 0\n1\n2\n3\n4\n5\n6\n7\n8\n9\nDone\n
However, it prints 2\n2\n2\n5\n5\n7\n7\n9\n9\n9\nDone\n as the loop incremented i before the goroutine can run, so the goroutine created when i = 0,1 was only run when i = 2 in the loop, so it prints 2 instead of 0 or 1.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
Go statements should create a "Go (argCount)" instead of "Call (argCount)" instruction, so the current implementation is actually wrong
(Basically it should follow the same logic as a function call but execute the function in a new thread, then the environment would be its own environment, just like in a function call)
