The right operand of a && and || is only executed conditionnally,
so the instrumentation must be more careful. In particular
it should not turn nodes assumed to be cheap after walk into
expensive ones.

Method calls on interfaces with large stored values
will call the pointer receiver method which may be
a wrapper over a method with value receiver.
This is particularly inefficient for very small bodies.
Inlining the wrapped method body saves a potentially expensive
function call.

The type information is (and for years has been) included
as an extra field in the address chunk of an instruction.
Unfortunately, suppose there is a string at a+24(FP) and
we have an instruction reading its length. It will say:
MOVQ x+32(FP), AX
and the type of *that* argument is int (not slice), because
it is the length being read. This confuses the picture seen
by debuggers and now, worse, by the garbage collector.
Instead of attaching the type information to all uses,
emit an explicit list of TYPE instructions with the information.
The TYPE instructions are no-ops whose only role is to
provide an address to attach type information to.
For example, this function:
func f(x, y, z int) (a, b string) {
return
}
now compiles into:
--- prog list "f" ---
0000 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) TEXT f+0(SB),$0-56
0001 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) LOCALS ,
0002 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) TYPE x+0(FP){int},$8
0003 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) TYPE y+8(FP){int},$8
0004 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) TYPE z+16(FP){int},$8
0005 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) TYPE a+24(FP){string},$16
0006 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) TYPE b+40(FP){string},$16
0007 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) MOVQ $0,b+40(FP)
0008 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) MOVQ $0,b+48(FP)
0009 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) MOVQ $0,a+24(FP)
0010 (/Users/rsc/x.go:3) MOVQ $0,a+32(FP)
0011 (/Users/rsc/x.go:4) RET ,
The { } show the formerly hidden type information.
The { } syntax is used when printing from within the gc compiler.
It is not accepted by the assemblers.
The same type information is now included on global variables:
0055 (/Users/rsc/x.go:15) GLOBL slice+0(SB){[]string},$24(AL*0)
This more accurate type information fixes a bug in the
garbage collector's precise heap collection.
The linker only cares about globals right now, but having the
local information should make things a little nicer for Carl
in the future.

The code assumed that the only choices were EscNone, EscScope, and EscHeap,
so that it makes sense to set EscScope only if the current setting is EscNone.
Now that we have the many variants of EscReturn, this logic is false, and it was
causing important EscScopes to be ignored in favor of EscReturn.

This is an experiment in static analysis of Go programs
to understand which struct fields a program might use.
It is not part of the Go language specification, it must
be enabled explicitly when building the toolchain,
and it may be removed at any time.
After building the toolchain with GOEXPERIMENT=fieldtrack,
a specific field can be marked for tracking by including
`go:"track"` in the field tag:
package pkg
type T struct {
F int `go:"track"`
G int // untracked
}
To simplify usage, only named struct types can have
tracked fields, and only exported fields can be tracked.
The implementation works by making each function begin
with a sequence of no-op USEFIELD instructions declaring
which tracked fields are accessed by a specific function.
After the linker's dead code elimination removes unused
functions, the fields referred to by the remaining
USEFIELD instructions are the ones reported as used by
the binary.
The -k option to the linker specifies the fully qualified
symbol name (such as my/pkg.list) of a string variable that
should be initialized with the field tracking information
for the program. The field tracking string is a sequence
of lines, each terminated by a \n and describing a single
tracked field referred to by the program. Each line is made
up of one or more tab-separated fields. The first field is
the name of the tracked field, fully qualified, as in
"my/pkg.T.F". Subsequent fields give a shortest path of
reverse references from that field to a global variable or
function, corresponding to one way in which the program
might reach that field.
A common source of false positives in field tracking is
types with large method sets, because a reference to the
type descriptor carries with it references to all methods.
To address this problem, the CL also introduces a comment
annotation
//go:nointerface
that marks an upcoming method declaration as unavailable
for use in satisfying interfaces, both statically and
dynamically. Such a method is also invisible to package
reflect.
Again, all of this is disabled by default. It only turns on
if you have GOEXPERIMENT=fieldtrack set during make.bash.

Pulling function calls out to happen before the
expression being evaluated was causing illegal
reorderings even without inlining; with inlining
it got worse. This CL adds a separate ordering pass
to move things with a fixed order out of expressions

not be reordered by walk.

To allow these types as map keys, we must fill in
equal and hash functions in their algorithm tables.
Structs or arrays that are "just memory", like [2]int,
can and do continue to use the AMEM algorithm.
Structs or arrays that contain special values like
strings or interface values use generated functions
for both equal and hash.
The runtime helper func runtime.equal(t, x, y) bool handles
the general equality case for x == y and calls out to
the equal implementation in the algorithm table.
For short values (<= 4 struct fields or array elements),
the sequence of elementwise comparisons is inlined
instead of calling runtime.equal.
