Hello World

[ICeDX]

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
fmt.Printf("Hello, 世界\n")
}

The above code does not actually compile. From the golang.org main
page. Perhaps it should be updated? I think there is a semi colon
right after "fmt"

The above code does actually compile (6g/5924e1889138 tip) and the
semicolon after "fmt" is not required.

$ cat tmp.go && make clean tmp && ./tmp

package main

import "fmt";

func main() {
fmt.Printf("Hello, 世界\n")
}

rm -rf *.o *.a *.[568vq] [568vq].out tmp
/home/myname/bin/6g -o _go_.6 tmp.go
/home/myname/bin/6l -o tmp _go_.6
Hello, 世界
$

The code compiles fine with a recent version of Go. The need for a semicolon was done away with months ago.

Note: I've tested both versions but then wrongly posted that with the
semicolon.

Did you save the file so that it was UTF-8 encoded?

It works fine on my machine, using the latest release compiler:

--

amchitka:~ nf$ cat > hello.go
package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
fmt.Printf("Hello, 世界\n")
}

amchitka:~ nf$ 6g hello.go && 6l hello.6
amchitka:~ nf$ ./6.out
Hello, 世界

--

How did you create the source file? What is the error you receive?
