log.Print() ? log.Println() ? What the difference ?

[Guillaume Lescure]

Hi,

It's maybe a bug but when I write log.Print(), it's make a "\n" at the end so it's exactly like log.Println() isn't it ?

Did I miss something ?

This is not a bug. And when you really think about it quite logical.

You could say it's a bug that the Print method exists in the first place.

They have different behaviors.

func Print(a ...interface{}) (n int, err error)
Print formats using the default formats for its operands and writes to
standard output. Spaces are added between operands when neither is a
string. It returns the number of bytes written and any write error
encountered.

func Println(a ...interface{}) (n int, err error)
Println formats using the default formats for its operands and writes to
standard output. Spaces are always added between operands and a newline
is appended. It returns the number of bytes written and any write error
encountered.

For example: http://play.golang.org/p/yia7SUt6Rv

Thank you, that what I didn't understand the first time. Now I see the difference :)

That seems misleading as the convention in fmt is that Print also differs from Println by a newline, and the documentation for log reads as if they share the behavior from fmt.
