• x/net/trace: dependency on html/template inhibits dead code elimination #62024

_{(Emoji vote if this was helpful or unhelpful; more detailed feedback welcome in this discussion.)}

I don't think there is anything we can do here.

Most of x/text's use of template seems to be for codegen
if there's not any complex run time templating, we could consider replacing it with fmt...

@seankhliao are these even a problem, given that happens before compile time?

That's why I was asking for more information on this issue?

the use of html/template in x/net/trace is unfortunate but necessary for its safe operation (rendering html pages).

that is not the same as the use of template in x/text

The importable packages in x/text do not cause disabling DCE, only the installable tools do:

/code/golang.org/x/text ∫ goda tree -std "reach(./...:all, text/template)"
  ├ golang.org/x/text/internal/triegen
    └ text/template ~
  ├ golang.org/x/text/cmd/gotext
    ├ golang.org/x/text/message/pipeline
      └ text/template ~
    └ text/template ~
  ├ golang.org/x/text/collate/tools/colcmp
    └ text/template ~

This does not look like a problem.
