Golang how to make the binaries of compiled production smaller

This is a created article in which the information may have evolved or changed.

The way to make the Go program smaller is: Go Build-ldflags "-s-w" (go install similar)-s to remove the symbol table (then panic when the stack trace does not have any file name/line number information, which is equivalent to ordinary C/s Program is strip effect),-W Remove dwarf debugging information, the program can not be debugged with GDB. For example, Server.go is a simple HTTP server that uses a net/http package. $ go Build server.go $ ls-l server-rwxr-xr-x 1 minux staff 4507004 2012-10-25 14:16 Server $ go build-ldflags "-s-w" Server.go $ ls-l server-rwxr-xr-x 1 minux staff 2839932 2012-10-25 14:16 Server -S and-W can also be used separately, generally if you do not intend to debug with GDB,-W basically no loss. The loss of-S is a bit big.
