//! # go-lib
//!
//! Go-style concurrency for Rust: goroutines, channels, `select`, `WaitGroup` —
//! built on a port of the M:N scheduler from <https://github.com/golang/go>.
//!
//! No async runtime is used: the scheduler, channels, and parking primitives
//! are ported from `src/runtime/` in the Go repo. Mutexes and read-write locks
//! are taken straight from [`std::sync`] because their uncontended path is
//! just an atomic CAS — porting Go's versions would be code without benefit.
//! See [`runtime::syscall`] for the shim that keeps `std` blocking calls
//! scheduler-safe.
//!
//! ## Public surface
//! - `go!` / `select!` macros — spawn goroutines, multiplex channel ops
//! - [`chan`] — buffered and unbuffered channels
//! - [`net`] — goroutine-aware `TcpListener` / `TcpStream` *(v2.0)*
//! - [`sync::WaitGroup`] — wait for a collection of goroutines
//! - [`sync::Cond`] — goroutine-aware condition variable
//! - [`sync::Mutex`] / [`sync::RwLock`] — re-exports of `std::sync`
//! - [`context`] — cancellation and deadline propagation
//! - [`set_panic_handler`] — customise goroutine-panic behaviour
//! - [`set_gomaxprocs`] / [`gomaxprocs`] — runtime parallelism control
//!
//! ## Internals
//! See [`runtime`] for the scheduler (G/M/P, parking, work stealing, sysmon,
//! stack growth, async preemption, netpoll).
//!
//! ## v2.0 — new in this release
//!
//! - **Dynamic stack growth** (Step 3): goroutines start with an 8 KiB stack
//!   and grow automatically up to 1 GiB via SIGSEGV guard-page detection and
//!   `copystack` (conservative pointer adjustment).
//! - **Async preemption** (Step 4): sysmon sends `SIGURG` to the M thread whose
//!   goroutine has run > 10 ms.  The signal handler redirects execution to an
//!   assembly trampoline that saves all registers, calls `async_preempt2`, and
//!   restores state on resume — a transparent, non-cooperative yield.
//! - **Netpoll / async I/O** (Step 5): `epoll` on Linux, `kqueue` on macOS.
//!   Goroutines park on `EAGAIN` and are re-enqueued when the fd is ready.
//!   See the [`net`] module for `TcpListener` / `TcpStream`.
//!
//! ## Known limitations
//!
//! ### `defer` / `recover` / cross-goroutine `panic`
//! Goroutine panics are caught and routed to [`set_panic_handler`]; the
//! process does not abort.  Go's `recover()` (stopping panic propagation at a
//! call-stack boundary) has no direct Rust equivalent — use `catch_unwind`
//! inside the goroutine body when fine-grained recovery is needed.
//!
//! ### Race detector
//! The Go race detector is a compiler/runtime feature with no Rust equivalent
//! in this crate.  Use `cargo test --cfg loom` with the [loom model checker]
//! for systematic concurrency testing.
//!
//! ## Unsafe conventions
//! The runtime modules (`src/runtime/`) are a direct port of Go's C-adjacent
//! runtime code.  Almost every function is `unsafe fn` because it operates on
//! raw goroutine pointers and `mmap`'d memory.  Inner `unsafe {}` blocks are
//! omitted for brevity (suppressed via `unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn`) — the caller's
//! obligation is documented in each function's `# Safety` section instead.
#![deny(missing_docs)]
// The runtime is a deliberate port of Go's low-level C-adjacent scheduler code.
// Virtually every function is `unsafe fn`; requiring inner `unsafe {}` blocks
// on every raw-pointer dereference would add noise without safety information.
// Each `unsafe fn`'s contract is documented in its `# Safety` section instead.
#![allow(unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn)]
