The buildmode=pie option in Go is used to generate position-independent executables (PIE) instead of the default position-dependent executable. PIEs are binary files that can be loaded at any address in memory, making them more secure against certain types of attacks such as buffer overflows and return-oriented programming.
When building a Go program with buildmode=pie, the linker will use relative addressing for function calls and data references instead of absolute addressing. This means that the code and data sections of the executable will not have fixed addresses, which makes it harder for attackers to exploit vulnerabilities in the program.
To build a Go program with buildmode=pie, you can use the following command:
go build -buildmode=pie <package>
This will generate a PIE executable named after your package in the current directory. You can then run this executable like any other binary file on your system.
