<h2 id="performance">Performance</h2>
<p>
As always, the changes are so general and varied that precise
statements about performance are difficult to make. Most programs
should run a bit faster, due to better generated code and
optimizations in the core library.
</p>
<h3 id="performance-compiler">Compiler toolchain</h3>
<p><!-- CL 110055 -->
The compiler now optimizes map clearing operations of the form:
</p>
<pre>
for k := range m {
delete(m, k)
}
</pre>
<p><!-- CL 109517 -->
The compiler now optimizes slice extension of the form
<code>append(s,</code>&nbsp;<code>make([]T,</code>&nbsp;<code>n)...)</code>.
</p>
<p><!-- CL 100277, CL 105635, CL 109776 -->
The compiler now performs significantly more aggressive bounds-check
and branch elimination. Notably, it now recognizes transitive
relations, so if <code>i&lt;j</code> and <code>j&lt;len(s)</code>,
it can use these facts to eliminate the bounds check
for <code>s[i]</code>. It also understands simple arithmetic such
as <code>s[i-10]</code> and can recognize more inductive cases in
loops. Furthermore, the compiler now uses bounds information to more
aggressively optimize shift operations.
