Changes to the language

- TODO: complete this section + +Go 1.22 makes two changes to "for" loops. +

    +
  • + Previously, the variables declared by a "for" loop were created once and updated by each iteration. In Go 1.22, each iteration of the loop creates new variables, to avoid accidental sharing bugs. + The transition support tooling + described in the proposal continues to work in the same way it did in Go 1.21. +
    • +
  • + "For" loops may now range over integers. + For example: +
    +package main
+
+import "fmt"
+
+func main() {
+  for i := range 10 {
+    fmt.Println(10 - i)
+  }
+  fmt.Println("go1.22 has lift-off!")
+}
+
    + See the spec for details. +
    • +
+ + +

+

+ Go 1.22 includes a preview of a language change we are considering + for a future version of Go: range-over-function iterators. + Building with GOEXPERIMENT=rangefunc enables this feature.
