Availability of header guards

Getting Help
1

Is there any availability of header guards to avoid cyclic dependency of packages?

What do you mean? You don’t need header guards; the compiler already avoids cyclic package dependencies:

$ go build ./a
can't load package: import cycle not allowed
package ./a
	imports ../b
	imports ../a

So what is your question then?

Perhaps you’re actually asking about the availability of header guards to avoid allow cyclic dependency of packages? If so, then no, you cannot do this. Go has a strict package initialization order that you can’t establish with cyclic package dependencies.
