Russ Cox 6d8a147bef runtime: use 1-bit pointer bitmaps in type representation
The type information in reflect.Type and the GC programs is now
1 bit per word, down from 2 bits.

The in-memory unrolled type bitmap representation are now
1 bit per word, down from 4 bits.

The conversion from the unrolled (now 1-bit) bitmap to the
heap bitmap (still 4-bit) is not optimized. A followup CL will
work on that, after the heap bitmap has been converted to 2-bit.

The typeDead optimization, in which a special value denotes
that there are no more pointers anywhere in the object, is lost
in this CL. A followup CL will bring it back in the final form of
heapBitsSetType.

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 file). 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-source.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 https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
