Adds softfloat64 to generic runtime
(will be discarded by linker when unused)
and adds test for it. I used the test to check
the software code against amd64 hardware
and then check the software code against
the arm and its simulation of hardware.
The latter should have been a no-op (testing
against itself) but turned up a bug in 5c causing
the vlrt.c routines to miscompile.
These changes make the cmath, math,
and strconv tests pass without any special
accommodations for arm.

Remove wasn't nil'ing the *Element.id. This property was exploited
by MoveToFront and MoveToBack internally, so I renamed the existing
Remove to "remove", and created an exported wrapper "Remove" that does
the right thing for the user's sake.
Also, saved an allocation by using *List as the id rather than *byte.
Fixes#1224.

Remove err from the encoderState and decoderState types, so we're
not always copying to and from various copies of the error, and then
use panic/recover to eliminate lots of error checking.
another pass might take a crack at the same thing for the compilation phase.

The implemetation describes each value as a string identifying the
concrete type of the value, followed by the usual encoding of that
value. All types to be exchanged as contents of interface values
must be registered ahead of time with the new Register function.
Although this would not seem strictly necessary, the linker garbage
collects unused types so without some mechanism to guarantee
the type exists in the binary, there could be unpleasant surprises.
Moreover, the receiver needs a reflect.Type of the value to be
written in order to be able to save the data. A Register function
seems necessary.
The implementation may require defining types in the middle of
of sending a value. The old code never did this. Therefore there
has been some refactoring to make the encoder and decoder
work recursively.
This change changes the internal type IDs. Existing gob archives
will break with this change. Apologies for that. If this is a deal
breaker it should be possible to create a conversion tool.
Error handling is too complicated in this code. A subsequent
change should clean it up.

Giving them specific types has the benefit that
binary.BigEndian.Uint32(b) is now a direct call, not an
indirect via a mutable interface value, so it can potentially
be inlined.
Recent changes to the spec relaxed the rules for comparison,
so this code is still valid:
func isLittle(o binary.ByteOrder) { return o == binary.LittleEndian }
The change does break this potential idiom:
o := binary.BigEndian
if foo {
o = binary.LittleEndian
}
That must rewrite to give o an explicit binary.ByteOrder type.
On balance I think the benefit from the direct call and inlining
outweigh the cost of breaking that idiom.

Just enough to make mov instructions work,
which in turn is enough to make strconv work
when it avoids any floating point calculations.
That makes a bunch of other packages pass
their tests.
Should suffice until hardware floating point
is available.
Enable package tests that now pass
(some due to earlier fixes).
Looks like there is a new integer math bug
exposed in the fmt and json tests.

That is, move the pc/ln table and the symbol table
into the read-only data segment. This eliminates
the need for a special load command to map the
symbol table into memory, which makes the
information available on systems that couldn't handle
the magic load to 0x99000000, like NaCl and ARM QEMU
and Linux without config_highmem=y. It also
eliminates an #ifdef and some clumsy code to
find the symbol table on Windows.
The bad news is that the binary appears to be bigger
than it used to be. This is not actually the case, though:
the same amount of data is being mapped into memory
as before, and the tables are still read-only, so they're
still shared across multiple instances of the binary as
they were before. The difference is just that the tables
aren't squirreled away in some section that "size" doesn't
know to look at.
This is a checkpoint.
It probably breaks Windows and breaks NaCl more
than it used to be broken, but those will be fixed.
The logic involving -s needs to be revisited too.
Fixes#871.

No multiple processes/locks, managed to compile
and run a hello.go (with print not fmt). Also test/sieve.go
seems to run until 439 and stops with a
'throw: all goroutines are asleep - deadlock!'
- just like runtime/tiny.
based on Russ's suggestions at:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.plan9/browse_thread/thread/cfda8b82535d2d68/243777a597ec1612
Build instructions:
cd src/pkg/runtime
make clean && GOOS=plan9 make install
this will build and install the runtime.
When linking with 8l, you should pass -s to suppress symbol
generation in the a.out, otherwise the generated executable will not run.
This is runtime only, the porting of the toolchain has already
been done: http://code.google.com/p/go-plan9/source/browse

Because the SB is only good for 8k and Go programs
tend to have much more data than that, SB doesn't
save very much. A fmt.Printf-based hello world program
has 360 kB text segment. Removing SB makes the text
500 bytes (0.14%) longer.

* Maintain Sym* list for text with individual
prog lists instead of using one huge list and
overloading p->pcond.
* Comment what each file is for.
* Move some output code from span.c to asm.c.
* Move profiling into prof.c, symbol table into symtab.c.
* Move mkfwd to ld/lib.c.
* Throw away dhog dynamic loading code.
* Throw away Alef become.
* Fix printing of WORD instructions in 5l -a.
Goal here is to be able to handle each piece of text or data
as a separate piece, both to make it easier to load the
occasional .o file and also to make it possible to split the

New logging interface simplifies and generalizes.
1) Loggers now have only one output.
2) log.Stdout, Stderr, Crash and friends are gone.
Logging is now always to standard error by default.
3) log.Panic* replaces log.Crash*.
4) Exiting and panicking are not part of the logger's state; instead
the functions Exit* and Panic* simply call Exit or panic after
printing.
5) There is now one 'standard logger'. Instead of calling Stderr,
use Print etc. There are now triples, by analogy with fmt:
Print, Println, Printf
What was log.Stderr is now best represented by log.Println,
since there are now separate Print and Println functions
(and methods).
6) New functions SetOutput, SetFlags, and SetPrefix allow global
editing of the standard logger's properties. This is new
functionality. For instance, one can call
log.SetFlags(log.Lshortfile|log.Ltime|log.Lmicroseconds)
to get all logging output to show file name, line number, and
time stamp.
In short, for most purposes
log.Stderr -> log.Println or log.Print
log.Stderrf -> log.Printf
log.Crash -> log.Panicln or log.Panic
log.Crashf -> log.Panicf
log.Exit -> log.Exitln or log.Exit
log.Exitf -> log.Exitf (no change)
This has a slight breakage: since loggers now write only to one
output, existing calls to log.New() need to delete the second argument.
Also, custom loggers with exit or panic properties will need to be
reworked.
All package code updated to new interface.
The test has been reworked somewhat.
The old interface will be removed after the new release.
For now, its elements are marked 'deprecated' in their comments.
Fixes#1184.

Package iterable has outlived its utility.
It is an interesting demonstration, but it encourages

An exercise in reflection and an unusual tool.
From the usage message:
usage: gotry [packagedirectory] expression ...
Given one expression, gotry attempts to evaluate that expression.
Given multiple expressions, gotry treats them as a list of arguments
and result values and attempts to find a function in the package
that, given the first few expressions as arguments, evaluates to
the remaining expressions as results. If the first expression has
methods, it will also search for applicable methods.
If there are multiple expressions, a package directory must be
specified. If there is a package argument, the expressions are
evaluated in an environment that includes
import . "packagedirectory"
Examples:
gotry 3+4
# evaluates to 7
gotry strings '"abc"' '"c"' 7-5
# finds strings.Index etc.
gotry regexp 'MustCompile("^[0-9]+")' '"12345"' true
# finds Regexp.MatchString
