Keith Randall 2140975ebd cmd/compile: eliminate write barriers when writing non-heap ptrs
We don't need a write barrier if:
1) The location we're writing to doesn't hold a heap pointer, and
2) The value we're writing isn't a heap pointer.

The freshly returned value from runtime.newobject satisfies (1).
Pointers to globals, and the contents of the read-only data section satisfy (2).

This is particularly helpful for code like:
p := []string{"abc", "def", "ghi"}

Where the compiler generates:
   a := new([3]string)
   move(a, statictmp_)  // eliminates write barriers here
   p := a[:]

For big slice literals, this makes the code a smaller and faster to
compile.

Update #13554. Reduces the compile time by ~10% and RSS by ~30%.

README.md

The test directory contains tests of the Go tool chain and runtime. It includes black box tests, regression tests, and error output tests. They are run as part of all.bash.

To run just these tests, execute:

../bin/go run run.go

Standard library tests should be written as regular Go tests in the appropriate package.

The tool chain and runtime also have regular Go tests in their packages. The main reasons to add a new test to this directory are:

  • it is most naturally expressed using the test runner; or
  • it is also applicable to gccgo and other Go tool chains.
