What did you do?

https://play.golang.org/p/Ia27Pa9Gxs

What did you expect to see?

The init call tree should be ordered and flat.
The empty init functions should be remove.

main.Init direct call all init functions in the correct order(this one can be compute from import tree):

runtime/internal/sys.init()
unicode/utf8.init()
internal/cpu.init()
unsafe.init()
internal/race.init()
errors.init()
math.init()
sync/atomic.init()
strconv.init()
runtime/internal/atomic.init()
runtime.init()
sync.init()
syscall.init()
time.init()
io.init()
internal/poll.init()
os.init()

What did you see instead?

main.Init() just call strconv.init() os.init() which are defined in main package.
os.init call io.init, runtime.init, sync.init, time.init, internal/poll.init .
The panic message stack in some deep package like runtime.init also complex with os.init and main.Init(I just found why it is from this asm code)

What you are suggesting is approximately what gccgo does. There are some subtleties. For example, see #15738. And the improvement overall will be quite small. But I agree that this seems desirable if someone wants to work on it.

I think this might have happened in d949d0b, targeting 1.13 ?

randall77 · Mar 26, 2019

Some of this is done in that CL. We now use data structures instead of code to record initialization tasks.

It's still using recursive calls, though. The entire initialization sequence has not been serialized by the linker (and it could be, I think).
