What did you do?

here is the code:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"sync"
)

func main() {
	var (
		i int
		wg sync.WaitGroup
	)

	wg.Add(2)

	go func() {
		for {
			i++
		}
	}()

	go func() {
		for {
			fmt.Println(i)
		}
	}()

	wg.Wait()
}

my computer has 4 logic cpu, so these two goroutines may both have opportunity to run, but unfortunately, what was printed is always 0.

What did you expect to see?

print different value of i

What did you see instead?

always print 0

The two goroutines do not communicate, so there is no guarantee that something happens in one is visible to the other.

Dup of #10958.
