The GODEBUG variable controls debug output from the runtime. GODEBUG value is
a comma-separated list of name=val pairs. Supported names are:
+ allocfreetrace: setting allocfreetrace=1 causes every allocation to be
+ profiled and a stack trace printed on each object's allocation and free.
+
+ efence: setting efence=1 causes the allocator to run in a mode
+ where each object is allocated on a unique page and addresses are
+ never recycled.
+
gctrace: setting gctrace=1 causes the garbage collector to emit a single line to standard
error at each collection, summarizing the amount of memory collected and the
length of the pause. Setting gctrace=2 emits the same summary but also
repeats each collection.
- schedtrace: setting schedtrace=X causes the scheduler to emit a single line to standard
- error every X milliseconds, summarizing the scheduler state.
+ gcdead: setting gcdead=1 causes the garbage collector to clobber all stack slots
+ that it thinks are dead.
scheddetail: setting schedtrace=X and scheddetail=1 causes the scheduler to emit
detailed multiline info every X milliseconds, describing state of the scheduler,
processors, threads and goroutines.
+ schedtrace: setting schedtrace=X causes the scheduler to emit a single line to standard

The GOMAXPROCS variable limits the number of operating system threads that
can execute user-level Go code simultaneously. There is no limit to the number of threads
that can be blocked in system calls on behalf of Go code; those do not count against
