| description | 📊 Analyze Go structs to visualize memory layout, alignment, and padding, enhancing performance engineering and systems research. |
Welcome to go-mem-layout, a powerful tool that helps you analyze Go structs and visualize how memory is organized. This tool shows memory alignment, padding, and offsets, making it perfect for anyone interested in performance engineering and systems research.
go-mem-layout helps you understand memory layouts of structs and binaries. It visualizes important details like:
- Memory alignment
- Memory padding
- Offsets within structs
This information is crucial for developers, researchers, or anyone curious about how memory works in Go applications. Whether you want to optimize your code or simply understand memory better, this tool provides valuable insights.
- Visualization: See how memory is structured in your Go applications.
- Detailed Analysis: Understand alignment, padding, and offsets.
- User-Friendly: Designed for non-technical users, with clear visuals.
- Operating System: Windows, macOS, or Linux
- Minimum 1 GB RAM
- Go version 1.14 or higher installed
To get started, visit our Releases page to download the latest version of go-mem-layout.
- Click on the Release you want to download.
- Look for the appropriate file for your operating system.
- Click on the file name to start the download.
- Locate the downloaded file on your computer.
- Double-click the file to run it.
- Follow any on-screen prompts as necessary.
Once you've downloaded and run go-mem-layout, follow these steps to analyze your Go structs:
- Open the application.
- Input the Go structure you wish to analyze.
- Press the Analyze button.
- View the memory layout visualization.
You can easily navigate through different sections and understand how memory is utilized.
Here's a simple representation of what you might see:
- Memory Address: 0x00
- Struct Field 1: 4 bytes
- Padding: 4 bytes
- Struct Field 2: 8 bytes
This visualization makes it clear how memory is allocated and where any padding is applied.
