Alberto Donizetti a0453a180f cmd/compile: combine x*n + y*n into (x+y)*n
There are a few cases where this can be useful. Apart from the obvious
(and silly)

  100*n + 200*n

where we generate one IMUL instead of two, consider:

  15*n + 31*n

Currently, the compiler strength-reduces both imuls, generating:

    0x0000 00000	MOVQ	"".n+8(SP), AX
	0x0005 00005 	MOVQ	AX, CX
	0x0008 00008 	SHLQ	$4, AX
	0x000c 00012 	SUBQ	CX, AX
	0x000f 00015 	MOVQ	CX, DX
	0x0012 00018 	SHLQ	$5, CX
	0x0016 00022 	SUBQ	DX, CX
	0x0019 00025 	ADDQ	CX, AX
	0x001c 00028 	MOVQ	AX, "".~r1+16(SP)
	0x0021 00033 	RET

But combining the imuls is both faster and shorter:

	0x0000 00000	MOVQ	"".n+8(SP), AX
	0x0005 00005 	IMULQ	$46, AX
	0x0009 00009	MOVQ	AX, "".~r1+16(SP)
	0x000e 00014 	RET

even without strength-reduction.

Moreover, consider:

  5*n + 7*(n+1) + 11*(n+2)

We already have a rule that rewrites 7(n+1) into 7n+7, so the
generated code (without imuls merging) looks like this:

	0x0000 00000 	MOVQ	"".n+8(SP), AX
	0x0005 00005 	LEAQ	(AX)(AX*4), CX
	0x0009 00009 	MOVQ	AX, DX
	0x000c 00012 	NEGQ	AX
	0x000f 00015 	LEAQ	(AX)(DX*8), AX
	0x0013 00019 	ADDQ	CX, AX
	0x0016 00022 	LEAQ	(DX)(CX*2), CX
	0x001a 00026 	LEAQ	29(AX)(CX*1), AX
	0x001f 00031 	MOVQ	AX, "".~r1+16(SP)

But with imuls merging, the 5n, 7n and 11n factors get merged, and the
generated code looks like this:

	0x0000 00000 	MOVQ	"".n+8(SP), AX
	0x0005 00005 	IMULQ	$23, AX
	0x0009 00009 	ADDQ	$29, AX
	0x000d 00013 	MOVQ	AX, "".~r1+16(SP)
	0x0012 00018 	RET

Which is both faster and shorter; that's also the exact same code that
clang and the intel c compiler generate for the above expression.

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:

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.
