runtime.memclrNoHeapPointers 是做什么的？

Question

我正在分析一个库，发现名为 runtime.memclrNoHeapPointers 的函数占用了 cpu 时间的大约 0.82 秒。

这个函数有什么作用，它告诉我关于我正在分析的库的内存使用情况的什么信息？

完整的输出：

func memclrNoHeapPointers(ptr unsafe.Pointer, n uintptr)

memclrNoHeapPointers clears n bytes starting at ptr.

Usually you should use typedmemclr. memclrNoHeapPointers should be used only when the caller knows that *ptr contains no heap pointers because either:

*ptr is initialized memory and its type is pointer-free.

*ptr is uninitialized memory (e.g., memory that's being reused

for a new allocation) and hence contains only "junk".

in memclr_*.s go:noescape

见https://github.com/golang/go/blob/9e277f7d554455e16ba3762541c53e9bfc1d8188/src/runtime/stubs.go#L78

这是垃圾收集器的一部分。 You can see the declaration here.

它的具体操作取决于 CPU。 See the various memclr_*.s files in the runtime for implmentation

这在 GC 中似乎花费了很长时间，但我认为仅凭您显示的数据很难说明库的内存使用情况。
