12abacb555 cmd/go, cmd/dist: introduce GOMIPS environment variable
GOMIPS is a GOARCH=mips{,le} specific option, for a choice between
hard-float and soft-float. Valid values are 'hardfloat' (default) and
'softfloat'. It is passed to the assembler as
'GOMIPS_{hardfloat,softfloat}'.

Note: GOMIPS will later also be used for a choice of MIPS instruction
set (mips32/mips32r2).

1722a2d79d doc: mention the scratch repo
If people are interested in contributing to Go, but not sure what
change they'd like to make just yet, we can point them to the scratch
repo, so they can go through the process of submitting and merging
something now, and make more useful contributions later.

My evidence that sending people to the scratch repo would encourage
future contributions is that a number of people who went through the
workshop at Gophercon have continued to send CL's after submitting to
the scratch repo, even though I doubt they planned to before going
through the workshop.

f2d52519e1 spec: match syntax for method expressions with implementations
A method expression is of the form T.m where T is a type and m
is a method of that type. The spec restricted T essentially to
a type name. Both cmd/compile and go/types accepted any type
syntactically, and a method expression was really just a form
of a selector expression x.f where x denotes a type.

This CL removes the spec syntax restriction from MethodExpr
to match the actual implementation. It also moves MethodExpr
from Operand to PrimaryExpr, because that's what it is.

It still keeps the separate notion of MethodExpr even though
it looks just like a selector expresion, since a MethodExpr
must start with a type rather than a value, and the spec's
syntax expresses this bit of semantics via distinct productions
(e.g., conversions look like calls but also must start with
a type).

Fixes #9060.

85177f4276 spec: remove vestiges referring to iotas being incremented
https://golang.org/cl/71750 specifies iota values as indices,
thus making them independent from nested constant declarations.
This CL removes some of the comments in the examples that were
still referring to the old notion of iotas being incremented
and reset.

As an aside, please note that the spec still permits the use
of iota in a nested function (like before). Specifically, the
following cases are permitted by the spec (as before):

1) const _ = len([iota]int{})
2) const _ = unsafe.Sizeof(func(){ _ = iota })

For #15550.

52dd39965e spec: clarify that each block has its own version of iota
Issue #15550 is clearly an esoteric case but the spec was silent
about it and we had diverging implementations. By making `iota`
and index that is relative to the respective constant declaration,
nested const declarations won't affect outer values of `iota`.

cmd/compile and go/types already follow this semantics.

Fixes #15550.

9690d245d5 spec: clarify context type for certain non-constant shifts
The spec is not conclusive about whether a non-constant shift of
certain untyped constant left operands is valid when the shift
expression appears as an index in an index or slice expression,
or as a size in a `make` function call.

Despite identical spec rules in all these cases, cmd/compile accepts

	make([]byte, 1.0 << s)

but pronounces an error for

	a[1.0 << s]

(go/types accepts both).

This change clarifies the spec by explicitly stating that an
untyped constant left operand in a non-constant shift (1.0 in
the above examples) will be given type `int` in these contexts.

A separate issue #21693 addresses the cmd/compile bug.

Fixes #14844.

03876af91c cmd/cgo: support niladic function-like macros
Currently, cgo supports only macros which can be reduced to constants
or variables. The CL addresses remaining parts, macros which can be
represented as niladic functions.

The basic idea is simple:
  1. make a thin wrapper function per macros.
  2. replace macro expansions with function calls.

Fixes #18720

b40831b115 spec: explicitly define notion of "representability" (clarification)
Throughout the spec we use the notion of a constant x being
representable by a value of type T. While intuitively clear,
at least for floating-point and complex constants types, the
concept was not well-defined. In the section on Conversions
there was an extra rule for floating-point types only and it
missed the case of floating-point values overflowing to an
infinity after rounding.

Since the concept is important to Go, and a compiler most
certainly will have a function to test "representability",
it seems warranted to define the term explicitly in the spec.

This change introduces a new entry "Representability" under
the section on "Properties of types and values", and defines
the term explicitly, together with examples.

The phrase used is "representable by" rather than "representable as"
because the former use is prevalent in the spec.

Additionally, it clarifies that a floating-point constant
that overflows to an infinity after rounding is never
representable by a value of a floating-point type, even though
infinities are valid values of IEEE floating point types.
This is required because there are not infinite value constants
in the language (like there is also no -0.0) and representability
also matters for constant conversions. This is not a language
change, and type-checkers have been following this rule before.

The change also introduces links throughout the spec to the new
section as appropriate and removes duplicate text and examples
elsewhere (Constants and Conversions sections), leading to
simplifications in the relevant paragraphs.

Fixes #15389.

e4ce08afe0 spec: clarify restrictions on RHS of non-constant shifts
For non-constant shifts with an untyped constant shift count, the
spec only said that it must "be converted to unsigned integer type".
go/types accepts any (arbitrarily large) integer value. Both cmd/compile
and gccgo require that the shift count be representable as a uint value
in that case (if the shift count is typed, it may be any unsigned integer
type).

This change adjusts the spec to state what the compilers have been doing
all along. The new wording matches similar rules elsewhere (e.g., for
untyped array and slice indices). Also, while technically this is a
restriction (we could permit arbitrarily large shift counts), in practice
this is irrelevant.

Fixes #14822.

369d1083a7 spec: for non-constant map keys, add reference to evaluation order section
The section on map literals mentions constant map keys but doesn't say
what happens for equal non-constant map keys - that is covered in the
section on evaluation order. Added respective link for clarity.

Fixes #19689.

a9824cd47c *.bash: always use the same string equality operator
POSIX Shell only supports = to compare variables inside '[' tests. But
this is Bash, where == is an alias for =. In practice they're the same,
but the current form is inconsisnent and breaks POSIX for no good
reason.

26e726c309 spec: remove superfluous terms "delimiter" and "special tokens"
The (original) section on "Operators and Delimiters" introduced
superfluous terminology ("delimiter", "special token") which
didn't matter and was used inconsistently.

Removed any mention of "delimiter" or "special token" and now
simply group the special character tokens into "operators"
(clearly defined via links), and "punctuation" (everything else).

Fixes #19450.
