goce

Go Compiler Explorer similar to Matt Godbolt's godbolt.org, but lighter, easier to set up and with Go specific features.

You can check it out at goce.w1ck3dg0ph3r.dev or run goce locally.

Additional features include:

• showing inlineability analysis (recursion, function complexity cost, etc.)
• showing inlined function calls
• showing variables that escape to heap

Building and running locally

You will need go, node and pnpm to build goce.

1. Build ui:

   cd ui
   pnpm install
   pnpm build-only

2. Build server:

   # ui will be embedded into the binary
   go build .

Configuration

Goce can be configured via:

• goce.toml file located in $PWD, /etc/goce or $HOME/.config/goce
• environment variables
• .env file

See goce.example.toml, .env.example and config.go for details.

Notes:

• Right now goce supports the following go compilers:

  • the one found in $PATH
  • all versions insalled in ~/sdk/go* (the default location for multiple go installations on *nix systems)
  • explicitly specified binary

• goce stores compilation cache and shared code snippets in cache.db and shared.db respectively.

  • the format can vary between versions, so you may have to remove these files.
