Support for the race detector

[ardan-bkennedy]

Having the ability to run gb build and gb test with the -race option. This is an important tool that everyone should be using.

Shouldn't be a problem but it is blocked by cgo support and figuring out
what to do hashing build tags to make conditional compilation sane.

Any news, guys?

It's on the list, below finishing gb-vendor and cgo support.

I would also like this to be implemented in gb build, please.

I think the pre-reqs for this one are completed now. Any thoughts on this?

[davecheney]

Yup, the big blocker was tag support which is now done.

Very excited about this. Just finished migrating my day job project to gb, and I miss running race on all my tests.

Most of you guys probably know this 😄 but you can work around this limitation by updating GOPATH (GOPATH=$PROJECT_DIR/vendor:$PROJECT_DIR) and then running go {build,install,test} -race ./src/... , just in case someone gets stuck here.
