gccgo - GCC with go support included?

[scaszoo]

Hello :)

I would like to use gcc with go support on my Mac. Sadly the current gcc version does not seem to support go?
Is there any plan to include that in future releases?

Best regards

From the gcc formula:

    # We avoiding building:
    #  - Ada, which requires a pre-existing GCC Ada compiler to bootstrap
    #  - Go, currently not supported on macOS
    #  - BRIG

As for future plans, I wouldn't hold my breath:

golang/go#463

Hello :)

Go has been released to version 1.22 and already supports Darwin. But sadly if you wanna use gccgo, you should compile src code by yourself, and these process has many bugs for beginner. Is there any plan for brew to create a package for gccgo?

and, now go support this arguement
go build -compiler=gccgo ,but you should install gccgo and set PATH first.

eneral-purpose environment variables:
GO111MODULE
Controls whether the go command runs in module-aware mode or GOPATH mode.
The gccgo command to run for 'go build -compiler=gccgo'.

I could also make use of this, really simplifies things to have it instead of compiling it on my own.
