A library to make persistent memory accessible to developers of Go language. More details about Persistent memory can be found here. This repostiory has two Go packages (pmem & transaction).

$ cd src
$ ./all.bash
You can also follow the general instructions for building Go from its source code found here.
go get -u github.com/vmware/go-pmem-transaction/...- Make sure to build these packages (and applications using these packages) using the Go binary built in step 2.
This repository provides two packages:
-
pmem package that provides access to persistent memory. The pmem package allows users to create data structures that reside in persistent memory and get pointers to these data structures that reside in persistent memory as well.
