This is not the expected behaviour. Can you please provide the code sample that produced the output above.

Sure, here is the playground link, crippled a bit to give you some output (ie, doesn't use b.N).

The sources for the func (r BenchmarkResult) String() string here basically don't give a call to r.MemString(), or have access to B.showAllocResult, because the *B or showAllocResult isn't copied into the struct (ie, there isn't a property for it, yet).

Yes, feature request. It's an inconvenience with a work-around. Thanks for taking the time to understand it however :)

Yes, feature request. It's an inconvenience with a work-around.

Can you outline what your workaround is? I’m having trouble seeing it :)

@andybons it's fmt.Println(result, result.MemString()) instead of just fmt.Println(result).

I don't think we should always print the memory results, and I don't think we should add a new field to BenchmarkResult, a struct that currently has only exported fields. It's already possible to call MemString; adding the results to String would be a minor convenience in a few cases. So all in all I don't think this is worth doing. Sorry.
