您如何确定go中当前正在运行的可执行文件的完整路径？

Question

I've been using this function on osx:

// Shortcut to get the path to the current executable                      
func ExecPath() string {                                                   
  var here = os.Args[0]                                                    
  if !strings.HasPrefix(here, "/") {                                       
    here, _ = exec.LookPath(os.Args[0])                                    
    if !strings.HasPrefix(here, "/") {                                     
      var wd, _ = os.Getwd()                                               
      here = path.Join(wd, here)                                           
    }                                                                      
  } 
  return here                                                              
}

...but its pretty messy, and it doesn't work on windows at all, and certainly not in git-bash on windows.

Is there a way of doing this cross platform?

NB. Specifically that args[0] depends on how the binary is invoked; it is in some cases only the binary itself, eg. "app" or "app.exe"; so you can't just use that.

This is the traditional way of doing it which I think will work under any platform.

import (
    "fmt"
    "os"
    "path/filepath"
)

// Shortcut to get the path to the current executable                      
func ExecPath() string {
    var here = os.Args[0]
    here, err := filepath.Abs(here)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("Weird path: %s
", err)
    }
    return here
}
