The latest builder for the windows/386 port at this time is windows-386-2012 (Windows 8/8.1).
That builder will be going away as part of #57004.
As long as windows/386 is one of the first class ports, we'll need a builder with a newer version of Windows.

In CL 463579, @heschi commented:

For my understanding, is there some particular difficulty setting up a windows-386-2016 builder? This one was just a GOARCH setting on top of the amd64 OS, right?

Right. At least I currently can't think of a reason that just reusing the windows-amd64-2016 config with GOHOSTARCH set to 386 wouldn't be all that's needed. Unless someone else knows otherwise, just trying it is likely the easiest way to confirm.

I'm pretty sure setting GOHOSTARCH=386 will work. It should also support cgo if the builder has a 32-bit C toolchain.

I agree this should work.

And Go team would have to arrange to have 32-bit C toolchain installed. Windows does not come with C compiler - it is up to Go Team to test cgo with correct C toolchain.

@thanm sounds like we need to build a new Windows image with the 32-bit compiler installed. Is that something you could help with?

thanm commented Feb 7, 2023

The recipe I used is described in https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/build/+/405154 . If you would prefer that I do the image creation though I can certainly look into it.

Hmm, looking at my windows-amd64-2016 gomote, I don't think we need a new image after all (32 bit compilers are already there):

dashboard: add windows-386-2016{,-oldcc} builders
ce55604 
This builder is equivalent to windows-amd64-2016, but using
GOARCH/GOHOSTARCH=386.

Older versions of Windows will eventually drop Go support, so we need to
have builders for newer versions.

For golang/go#58007

The builders have run on ~1 month of commits and there were 2 flakes, both seemingly new issues: #58569 and #58570.

CL 468937 added a newer Windows 32-bit TryBot that will provide coverage
for the windows/386 port for Go 1.21 and newer. Stop the older Windows 8
builders from running on the relevant branches.

Updates golang/go#58007.
Fixes golang/go#58008.

@prattmic @thanm the slowbot alias windows-386 still points to the windows-386-2008 builder:

https://github.com/golang/build/blob/d65475a9c9ad54c16e7a2e0bb2ebea6394f0d11a/dashboard/builders.go#L99-L101

Is it necessary for old release branches? If not, can it be updated to windows-386-2016?
