Go Benchmarks And Escape Analysis

[Patrick]

I'm new to go, and have being looking at escape analysis by benchmarking some code that I created.

What I see is the escape analysis shows that certain variables escape to the heap.

parameter path leaks to {heap} with derefs=2

But the result of the benchmark test shows 0 allocations.

1000000000          0.00429 ns/op        0 B/op        0 allocs/op

Does the 0 allocs/op mean that the compiler optimised the code and the parameter path did not leak to the heap?  Also, since there are 0 allocs/ops does this mean I don't need to be concerned about leaking to the heap?

Allocation recording is turned on in the test

Thanks

0.00429 ns/op seems suspiciously low. I suspect that there could be a problem with your benchmark. Could you post the code.
