What is a GOX file? A GOX file is an export data file created by gccgo, a compiler for the Go programming language . It contains a description of functions exported from a compiled .O file. Developers produce GOX files using the objcopy -j .go_export command.

More Information Gccgo is part of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). Developers use gccgo to compile and build Go programs. When a developer uses gccgo to compile a file that exports functions, they can choose to store a description of those exported functions in a GOX file. This file functions similarly to a C or C++ .H file. When a developer uses gccgo to compile a file that imports the exported functions, gccgo searches for an accompanying GOX file (or SO, A, or O file, if a GOX file isn't found) and uses it to import the functions correctly.
