Keith Randall 7a427143b6 cmd/compile: stack allocate variable-sized makeslice
Instead of always allocating variable-sized "make" calls on the heap,
allocate a small, constant-sized array on the stack and use that array
as the backing store if it is big enough.

Requires the result of the "make" doesn't escape.

  if cap <= K {
      var arr [K]E
      slice = arr[:len:cap]
  } else {
      slice = makeslice(E, len, cap)
  }

Pretty conservatively for now, K = 32/sizeof(E). The slice header is
already 24 bytes, so wasting 32 bytes of stack if the requested size
is too big isn't that bad. Larger would waste more stack space but
maybe avoid more allocations.

This CL also requires the element type be pointer-free.  Maybe we
could relax that at some point, but it is hard. If the element type
has pointers we can get heap->stack pointers (in the case where the
requested size is too big and the slice is heap allocated).

Note that this only handles the case of makeslice called directly from
compiler-generated code. It does not handle slices built in the
runtime on behalf of the program (e.g. in growslice). Some of those
are currently handled by passing in a tmpBuf (e.g. concatstrings),
but we could probably do more.

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 test cmd/internal/testdir

To run just tests from specified files in this directory, execute:

../bin/go test cmd/internal/testdir -run='Test/(file1.go|file2.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.
