Josh Bleecher Snyder 1848d71445 cmd/gc: don't give credit for NOPs during register allocation
The register allocator decides which variables should be placed into registers by charging for each load/store and crediting for each use, and then selecting an allocation with minimal cost. NOPs will be eliminated, however, so using a variable in a NOP should not generate credit.

Issue 7867 arises from attempted registerization of multi-word variables because they are used in NOPs. By not crediting for that use, they will no longer be considered for registerization.

This fix could theoretically lead to better register allocation, but NOPs are rare relative to other instructions.

Fixes #7867.

README

This is the source code repository for the Go programming language.  

For documentation about how to install and use Go,
visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html
in your web browser.

After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted
doc/install-source.html by running godoc --http=:6060
and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install/source.

Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed
under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
directory (the one containing this README).  You can omit the
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html).
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
put the following in your .profile:

    export GOROOT=$HOME/go
    export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See doc/install.html for more details.
