I was wondering if anyone has successfully used OSX Instruments for
profiling go?
I'm new to OSX and to Go, and I haven't had much success. I imagine
that it involves building the Go runtime library with some debugging
symbols and also the target Go code. Go has a built-in profiler, but
that's broken on OSX. Another option is valgrind --cachegrind but that
too seems a bit broken on OSX 10.7. Any tips would be greatly
appreciated.

As far as I am aware you can only use Instruments with the Apple
compilers (C, C++, Objective-C).

You can actually use OS X Instruments with go via DTrace.
It will probably require you to dig into Go's DTrace support & DTrace
itself tho.
