When we do
var x []byte = ...
y := x[i:]
We can't just use y.ptr = x.ptr + i, as the new pointer may point to the
next object in memory after the backing array.
We used to fix this by doing:
y.cap = x.cap - i
delta := i
if y.cap == 0 {
delta = 0
}
y.ptr = x.ptr + delta
That generates a branch in what is otherwise straight-line code.
Better to do:
y.cap = x.cap - i
mask := (y.cap - 1) >> 63 // -1 if y.cap==0, 0 otherwise
y.ptr = x.ptr + i &^ mask
It's about the same number of instructions (~4, depending on what
parts are constant, and the target architecture), but it is all
inline. It plays nicely with CSE, and the mask can be computed
in parallel with the index (in cases where a multiply is required).
It is a minor win in both speed and space.

The Go Programming Language
Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.
For documentation about how to install and use Go, visit https://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html in your web browser.
Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.
Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!
To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html
Note that we do not accept pull requests and that we use the issue tracker for bug reports and proposals only. Please ask questions on https://forum.golangbridge.org or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts.

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.
