What are deadlocks in Go?

Can you explain what deadlocks are in Go?

Sure! A deadlock in Go occurs when two or more goroutines are waiting for each other to release resources, causing them to be stuck.

How can I prevent deadlocks in my Go programs?

To prevent deadlocks, you can use techniques like avoiding circular wait, using timeouts, and ensuring a consistent locking order.

Can you give me an example of a deadlock situation in Go?

Certainly! Imagine two goroutines where one locks a mutex and waits for another mutex held by the second goroutine, which is waiting for the first.

What tools can I use to detect deadlocks in Go?

You can use the Go race detector and profiling tools to help identify deadlocks and other concurrency issues in your code.
