Josh Bleecher Snyder 8c85e23087 cmd/compile: recognize integer ranges in switch statements
Consider a switch statement like:

switch x {
case 1:
  // ...
case 2, 3, 4, 5, 6:
  // ...
case 5:
  // ...
}

Prior to this CL, the generated code treated
2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 independently in a binary search.
With this CL, the generated code checks whether
2 <= x && x <= 6.
walkinrange then optimizes that range check
into a single unsigned comparison.

Experiments suggest that the best min range size
is 2, using binary size as a proxy for optimization.

Binary sizes before/after this CL:

cmd/compile: 14209728 / 14165360
cmd/go:       9543100 /  9539004

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

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.
