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.

Brief background on "why heap allocate". Things can be
forced to the heap for the following reasons:
1) address published, hence lifetime unknown.
2) size unknown/too large, cannot be stack allocated
3) multiplicity unknown/too large, cannot be stack allocated
4) reachable from heap (not necessarily published)
The bug here is a case of failing to enforce 4) when an
object Y was reachable from a heap allocation X forced
because of 3). It was found in the case of a closure
allocated within a loop (X) and assigned to a variable
outside the loop (multiplicity unknown) where the closure
also captured a map (Y) declared outside the loop (reachable
from heap). Note the variable declared outside the loop (Y)
is not published, has known size, and known multiplicity
(one). The only reason for heap allocation is that it was
reached from a heap allocated item (X), but because that was
not forced by publication, it has to be tracked by loop
level, but escape-loop level was not tracked and thus a bug
results.
The fix is that when a heap allocation is newly discovered,
use its looplevel as the minimum loop level for downstream
escape flooding.
Every attempt to generalize this bug to X-in-loop-
references-Y-outside loop succeeded, so the fix was aimed
to be general. Anywhere that loop level forces heap
allocation, the loop level is tracked. This is not yet
tested for all possible X and Y, but it is correctness-
conservative and because it caused only one trivial
regression in the escape tests, it is probably also
performance-conservative.
The new test checks the following:
1) in the map case, that if fn escapes, so does the map.
2) in the map case, if fn does not escape, neither does the map.
3) in the &x case, that if fn escapes, so does &x.
4) in the &x case, if fn does not escape, neither does &x.
Fixes#13799.

Adding the evconst(n) call for OANDAND and OOROR in
golang.org/cl/18262 was originally just to parallel the above iscmp
branch, but upon further inspection it seemed odd that removing it
caused test/fixedbugs/issue6671.go's
var b mybool
// ...
b = bool(true) && true // ERROR "cannot use"
to start failing (i.e., by not emitting the expected "cannot use"
error).
The problem is that evconst(n)'s settrue and setfalse paths always
reset n.Type to idealbool, even for logical operators where n.Type
should preserve the operand type. Adding the evconst(n) call for
OANDAND/OOROR inadvertantly worked around this by turning the later
evconst(n) call at line 2167 into a noop, so the "n.Type = t"
assignment at line 739 would preserve the operand type.
However, that means evconst(n) was still clobbering n.Type for ONOT,
so declarations like:
const _ bool = !mybool(true)
were erroneously accepted.

The test for non-package main top-level inputs is done while parsing
the export data. Issue #13468 happened because we were not parsing
the export data when using compiler-generated archives
(that is, when using go tool compile -pack).
Fix this by parsing the export data even for archives.
However, that turns up a different problem: the export data check
reports (one assumes spurious) skew errors now, because it has
not been run since Go 1.2.
(Go 1.3 was the first release to use go tool compile -pack.)
Since the code hasn't run since Go 1.2, it can't be that important.
Since it doesn't work today, just delete it.
Figuring out how to make this code work with Robert's export
format was one of the largest remaining TODOs for that format.
Now we don't have to.

with better temporary names.
A few of the syntax tests were adjusted for slightly different
error messages (it is very difficult to match the yacc-based
error messages in all cases, and sometimes the new parser could
produce better errors).
The new parser is enabled by default.
To switch back to the yacc-based parser, set -oldparser.
To hardwire the switch back, uncomment "oldparser = 1" in lex.go.

happens part way through allocInterleaved, but then doesn't happen
after we start calling main.alloc, checkAllocations will see buckets
for the lines in main.alloc (which are created eagerly), but the
