A Concurrent-safe Centralized Pointer Managing Facility Technical Report. In golang.design/research, Jun 10, 2021. |

| In the Go 1.17 release, we contributed a new cgo facility runtime/cgo.Handle in order to help future cgo applications better and easier to build concurrent-safe applications while passing pointers between Go and C. This article will look at the feature by asking what the feature offers to us, why we need such a facility, and how exactly we contributed to the implementation eventually. |
