Mirrors the same refactor previously applied to SubscriberFunc:
- Publisher[T]: a thin user-facing facade. Holds a pointer to a
non-generic publisherCore and exposes Publish/Close/ShouldPublish.
- publisherCore: a non-generic struct that owns the *Client back-
pointer, stop flag, and cached reflect.Type. It implements the
package-private publisher interface (publishType, Close).
The bus's per-Client publisher set is set.Set[publisher] keyed
on this single non-generic type.
The publisher interface only exists to support diagnostic
introspection (Debugger.PublishTypes returning the list of types a
client publishes). Previously, satisfying that diagnostic-only
interface forced *Publisher[T] to be the implementor and cost a
per-T itab, generic dictionary, and equality function on every
event type ever passed through Publish[T]. Moving the
implementation to a non-generic core lets the diagnostic surface
work unchanged while charging zero per-T cost for the
diagnostic-driven generic interface.
Publisher[T].Publish is also slimmed: the channel/select/stopFlag
loop is now a non-generic publish() helper that takes the value as
'any'. The per-T body is reduced to forwarding the boxed value to
the helper.
Measured impact (util/eventbus/sizetest):
total per-flow binary cost:
linux/amd64: 2252.8 B/flow -> 1900.5 B/flow (-352.3 B / -15.6%)
linux/arm64: 2228.2 B/flow -> 1835.0 B/flow (-393.2 B / -17.6%)
Publisher per-receiver attribution:
linux/amd64: 635.2 B/flow -> 369.6 B/flow (-265.6 B / -41.8%)
linux/arm64: 751.7 B/flow -> 373.2 B/flow (-378.5 B / -50.4%)
Cumulative reduction from the original baseline (5167ff412):
linux/amd64: 3096.6 B/flow -> 1900.5 B/flow (-1196.1 B / -38.6%)
linux/arm64: 3145.7 B/flow -> 1835.0 B/flow (-1310.7 B / -41.7%)
Dropped per-T symbols (200-flow eventbus binary):
- .dict.Publisher[T] was 14,400 B (72 B/T)
- type:.eq.Publisher[T] was 11,832 B (58 B/T)
- go:itab.*Publisher[T],publisher was 8,000 B (40 B/T)
- (*Publisher[T]).Close shape stencils collapsed to 1
Behavior is unchanged: BenchmarkBasicThroughput is within noise
(2018 -> 2038 ns/op at -benchtime=2s) and all eventbus tests pass.

Tailscale
Private WireGuard® networks made easy
Overview
This repository contains the majority of Tailscale's open source code.
Notably, it includes the tailscaled daemon and
the tailscale CLI tool. The tailscaled daemon runs on Linux, Windows,
macOS, and to varying degrees
on FreeBSD and OpenBSD. The Tailscale iOS and Android apps use this repo's
code, but this repo doesn't contain the mobile GUI code.
Other Tailscale repos of note:
- the Android app is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-android
- the Synology package is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-synology
- the QNAP package is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-qpkg
- the Chocolatey packaging is at https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale-chocolatey
For background on which parts of Tailscale are open source and why, see https://tailscale.com/opensource/.
Using
We serve packages for a variety of distros and platforms at https://pkgs.tailscale.com.
Other clients
The macOS, iOS, and Windows clients use the code in this repository but additionally include small GUI wrappers. The GUI wrappers on non-open source platforms are themselves not open source.
Building
We always require the latest Go release, currently Go 1.26. (While we build releases with our Go fork, its use is not required.)
go install tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale{,d}
If you're packaging Tailscale for distribution, use build_dist.sh
instead, to burn commit IDs and version info into the binaries:
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscale
./build_dist.sh tailscale.com/cmd/tailscaled
If your distro has conventions that preclude the use of
build_dist.sh, please do the equivalent of what it does in your
distro's way, so that bug reports contain useful version information.
Bugs
Please file any issues about this code or the hosted service on the issue tracker.
Contributing
PRs welcome! But please file bugs. Commit messages should reference bugs.
We require Developer Certificate of
Origin
Signed-off-by lines in commits.
See commit-messages.md (or skim git log) for our commit message style.
