Currently, during walk we rewrite PAUTOHEAP uses into derefs of their
corresponding Heapaddr, but we can easily do this instead during SSA
construction. This does involve updating two test cases:
* nilptr3.go
This file had a test that we emit a "removed nil check" diagnostic for
the implicit dereference from accessing a PAUTOHEAP variable. This CL
removes this diagnostic, since it's not really useful to end users:
from the user's point of view, there's no pointer anyway, so they
needn't care about whether we check for nil or not. That's a purely
internal detail. And with the PAUTOHEAP dereference handled during SSA
construction, we can more robustly ensure this happens, rather than
relying on setting a flag in walk and hoping that SSA sees it.
* issue20780.go
Previously, when PAUTOHEAPs were dereferenced during walk, it had a
consequence that when they're passed as a function call argument, they
would first get copied to the stack before being copied to their
actual destination. Moving the dereferencing to SSA had a side-effect
of eliminating this unnecessary temporary, and copying directly to the
destination parameter.
The test is updated to instead call "g(h(), h())" where h() returns a
large value, as the first result will always need to be spilled
somewhere will calling the second function. Maybe eventually we're
smart enough to realize it can be spilled to the heap, but we don't do
that today.
Because I'm concerned that the direct copy-to-parameter optimization
could interfere with race-detector instrumentation (e.g., maybe the
copies were previously necessary to ensure they're not clobbered by
inserted raceread calls?), I've also added issue20780b.go to exercise
this in a few different ways.
