This is the beginning of an exploration of what Golang’s defer keyword does to the final ASM produced by our Go compiler. We are using Godbolt.org for this.
Without defer:
package p
import "fmt"
func square(x int) int {
fmt.Println("Good Bye!")
return x * x
}
With defer
package p
import "fmt"
func square(x int) int {
defer fmt.Println("Good Bye!")
return x * x
}
