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.

At parse time we don't know if a[i] is an index expression or a

comma, a[i,] is either an instantiation or index expression.
Document that a trailing comma is permitted in the syntax for

For comparison, the same problem arises with conversions which
cannot be distinguished from function calls at parse time. The
spec also permits a trailing comma for conversions T(x,). The

Pre-1.18, as special cases, the built-in operations append and copy
accepted strings as second arguments if the first argument was a byte
slice. With Go 1.18, these two built-ins as well as slice expressions
rely on the notion of core types in their specification.
Because we want to permit slice expressions, append, and copy to
operate on (1st or 2nd operands) that are type parameters restricted
by []byte | string (and variations thereof), the simple notion of
core type is not sufficient for these three operations. (The compiler
already permits such more relaxed operations).
In the section on core types, add a paragraph and examples introducing
the (artificial) core type "bypestring", which describes the core type
of type sets whose underlying types are []byte or string. Adjust the
rules for slice expressions, append, and copy accordingly.
Also (unrelated): Adjust prose in the only paragraph where we used
personal speech ("we") to impersonal speech, to match the rest of
the spec.

The spec section on conversions uses the terms "slice of bytes" and
"slice of runes". While not obviously clear, what is meant are slice
types whose element types are byte or rune types; specifically the
underlying types of the slices' element types must be byte or rune.
Some of this was evident from the examples, but not all of it. Made
this clearer by adding more examples illustrating various permitted
conversions.
Note that the 1.17 compiler did not accept the following conversions:
string([]myByte{...})
string([]myRune{...})
myString([]myByte{...})
myString([]myRune{...})
(where myByte, myRune, and myString have underlying types of byte,
rune, and string respectively) - it reported an internal error.
But it did accept the inverse conversions:
[]myByte("...")
[]myRune("...")
[]myByte(myString("..."))
[]myRune(myString("..."))
The 1.18 compiler made those conversions symmetric and they are now
permitted in both directions.
The extra examples reflect this reality.

Specific types were introduced to explain rules for operands of
type parameter type. Specific types are really an implementation
mechanism to represent (possibly infinite) type sets in the machine;
they are not needed in the specification.
A specific type is either standing for a single named or unnamed
type, or it is the underlying (unnamed) type of an infinite set of
types. Each rule that applies to a type T of the set of specific
types must also apply to all types T' in the type set for which T
is a representative of. Thus, in the spec we can simply refer to
the type set directly, infinite or not.
Rather then excluding operands with empty type sets in each instance,
leave unspecified what happens when such an operand is used. Instead
give an implementation some leeway with an implementation restriction.
(The implementation restriction also needs to be formulated for types,
such as in conversions, which technically are not "operands". Left for
another CL.)
Minor: Remove the two uses of the word "concrete" to refer to non-
interface types; instead just say "non-interface type" for clarity.

in formatted form as opposed to html text.
Added a missing rule about the use of adjusted core types for
constraint type inference.
Adjusted rule for invalid embedding of interface types.

This change moves the relevant prose of the section on type parameters
into the section on type parameter lists and eliminates the former.
With this change, the section on types now exclusively describes all
Go composite types.
User-defined named types (defined types and type parameters) are
described with their declarations.

The outcome of type inference depends critically on when function
argument type inference stops processing arguments. Describe this
and explain an example with some detail.
Also: In the section on the built-in function delete, refer to the
value rather than the type of the second argument, as it may be an
untyped constant.
