The download page says "OS X 10.8 or later", but other pages said 10.7.
Say 10.8 everywhere.
Turns out Go doesn't even compile on OS X 10.7 (details in bug) and we
only run builders for OS X 10.8+, which is likely why 10.7
regressed. Until recently we only had OS X 10.10 builders, even.
We could run 10.7 builders, but there's basically no reason to do so,
especially with 10.12 coming out imminently.

Both compilers and also go/types don't permit duplicate types in

Furthermore, duplicate nils are not accepted by gccgo or go/types;
and more recently started causing a compiler error in gc. Permitting
them is inconsistent with the existing status quo.
Rather than making it an implementation restriction (as we have for
expression switches), this is a hard requirement since it was enforced
from the beginning (except for duplicate nils); it is also a well
specified requirement that does not pose a significant burden for
an implementation.

Consider this code:
func f(*int)
func g() {
p := new(int)
f(p)
}
where f is an assembly function.
In general liveness analysis assumes that during the call to f, p is dead
in this frame. If f has retained p, p will be found alive in f's frame and keep
the new(int) from being garbage collected. This is all correct and works.
We use the Go func declaration for f to give the assembly function
liveness information (the arguments are assumed live for the entire call).
Now consider this code:
func h1() {
p := new(int)
syscall.Syscall(1, 2, 3, uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(p)))
}
Here syscall.Syscall is taking the place of f, but because its arguments
are uintptr, the liveness analysis and the garbage collector ignore them.
Since p is no longer live in h once the call starts, if the garbage collector
scans the stack while the system call is blocked, it will find no reference
to the new(int) and reclaim it. If the kernel is going to write to *p once
the call finishes, reclaiming the memory is a mistake.
We can't change the arguments or the liveness information for
syscall.Syscall itself, both for compatibility and because sometimes the
arguments really are integers, and the garbage collector will get quite upset
if it finds an integer where it expects a pointer. The problem is that
these arguments are fundamentally untyped.
The solution we have taken in the syscall package's wrappers in past
releases is to insert a call to a dummy function named "use", to make
it look like the argument is live during the call to syscall.Syscall:
func h2() {
p := new(int)
syscall.Syscall(1, 2, 3, uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(p)))
use(unsafe.Pointer(p))
}
Keeping p alive during the call means that if the garbage collector
scans the stack during the system call now, it will find the reference to p.
Unfortunately, this approach is not available to users outside syscall,
because 'use' is unexported, and people also have to realize they need
to use it and do so. There is much existing code using syscall.Syscall
without a 'use'-like function. That code will fail very occasionally in
mysterious ways (see #13372).
This CL fixes all that existing code by making the compiler do the right
thing automatically, without any code modifications. That is, it takes h1
above, which is incorrect code today, and makes it correct code.
Specifically, if the compiler sees a foreign func definition (one
without a body) that has uintptr arguments, it marks those arguments
as "unsafe uintptrs". If it later sees the function being called
with uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(x)) as an argument, it arranges to mark x
as having escaped, and it makes sure to hold x in a live temporary
variable until the call returns, so that the garbage collector cannot
reclaim whatever heap memory x points to.
For now I am leaving the explicit calls to use in package syscall,
but they can be removed early in a future cycle (likely Go 1.7).
The rule has no effect on escape analysis, only on liveness analysis.
Fixes#13372.
