User wonders whether this fd is garbage collected #2013
Description
by domo141:
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Read 'Effective Go' documentation
2. get into example
f, err := os.Open(name, os.O_RDONLY, 0)
if err != nil {
return err
}
d, err := f.Stat()
if err != nil {
return err
}
codeUsing(f, d)
3. The following documentation says nothing about the fate of fd 'f'.
What is the expected output?
The document clearly explains that the fd opened with os.Open() is garbage
collected. If it is not, then example should be fixed to close 'f' before
returning.
What do you see instead?
no explanation.
