Long ago we decided that panic(nil) was too unlikely to bother
making a special case for purposes of recover. Unfortunately,
it has turned out not to be a special case. There are many examples
of code in the Go ecosystem where an author has written panic(nil)
because they want to panic and don't care about the panic value.
Using panic(nil) in this case has the unfortunate behavior of
making recover behave as though the goroutine isn't panicking.
As a result, code like:
func f() {
defer func() {
if err := recover(); err != nil {
log.Fatalf("panicked! %v", err)
}
}()
call1()
call2()
}
looks like it guarantees that call2 has been run any time f returns,
but that turns out not to be strictly true. If call1 does panic(nil),
then f returns "successfully", having recovered the panic, but
without calling call2.
Instead you have to write something like:
func f() {
done := false
defer func() {
if err := recover(); !done {
log.Fatalf("panicked! %v", err)
}
}()
call1()
call2()
done = true
}
which defeats nearly the whole point of recover. No one does this,
with the result that almost all uses of recover are subtly broken.
One specific broken use along these lines is in net/http, which
recovers from panics in handlers and sends back an HTTP error.
Users discovered in the early days of Go that panic(nil) was a
convenient way to jump out of a handler up to the serving loop
without sending back an HTTP error. This was a bug, not a feature.
Go 1.8 added panic(http.ErrAbortHandler) as a better way to access the feature.
Any lingering code that uses panic(nil) to abort an HTTP handler
without a failure message should be changed to use http.ErrAbortHandler.
Programs that need the old, unintended behavior from net/http
or other packages can set GODEBUG=panicnil=1 to stop the run-time error.
Uses of recover that want to detect panic(nil) in new programs
can check for recover returning a value of type *runtime.PanicNilError.
Because the new GODEBUG is used inside the runtime, we can't
import internal/godebug, so there is some new machinery to
cross-connect those in this CL, to allow a mutable GODEBUG setting.
That won't be necessary if we add any other mutable GODEBUG settings
in the future. The CL also corrects the handling of defaulted GODEBUG
values in the runtime, for #56986.
Fixes#25448.

Change the run.go driver to recognize the "gc" build tag.
Change existing tests to use the "gc" build tag if they use some
feature that seems specific to the gc compiler, such as passing specific
options to or expecting specific behavior from "go tool compile".
Change tests to use the "!gccgo" build tag if they use "go build" or
"go run", as while those might work with compilers other than gc, they
won't work with the way that gccgo runs its testsuite (which happens
independently of the go command).
For #43252

The general policy for the current state of js/wasm is that it only
has to support tests that are also supported by nacl.
The test nilptr3.go makes assumptions about which nil checks can be
removed. Since WebAssembly does not signal on reading a null pointer,
all nil checks have to be explicit.
