Built-In source code location

Question

Where in Go\'s source code can I find their implementation of make.

Turns out the \"code search\" functionality is almost useless for such a central fea

Answer 1

As a matter of fact make is a combination of different functions, implemented in Go, in the runtime.

• makeslice for e.g. make([]int, 10)

• makemap for e.g. make(map[string]int)

• makechan for e.g. make(chan int)

The same applies for the other built-ins like append and copy.
