A function such as this:
func one() (x int) {
defer func() { recover() }()
x = 1
panic("return")
}
that combines named return parameters (NRPs) with deferred calls
that call recover, may return non-zero values despite the
fact it doesn't even contain a return statement. (!)
This requires a change to the SSA API: all functions'
control-flow graphs now have a second entry point, called
Recover, which is the block at which control flow resumes
after a recovered panic. The Recover block simply loads the
NRPs and returns them.
As an optimization, most functions don't need a Recover block,
so it is omitted. In fact it is only needed for functions that
have NRPs and defer a call to another function that _may_ call
recover.
Dataflow analysis of SSA now requires extra work, since every
may-panic instruction has an implicit control-flow edge to
the Recover block. The only dataflow analysis so far implemented
is SSA renaming, for which we make the following simplifying
assumption: the Recover block only loads the NRPs and returns.
This means we don't really need to analyze it, we can just
skip the "lifting" of such NRPs. We also special-case the Recover
block in the dominance computation.
Rejected alternative approaches:
- Specifying a Recover block for every defer instruction (like a
traditional exception handler).
This seemed like excessive generality, since Go programs
only need the same degenerate form of Recover block.
- Adding an instruction to set the Recover block immediately
after the named return values are set up, so that dominance
can be computed without special-casing.
This didn't seem worth the effort.
Interpreter:
- This CL completely reimplements the panic/recover/
defer logic in the interpreter. It's clearer and simpler
and closer to the model in the spec.
- Some runtime panic messages have been changed to be closer
to gc's, since tests depend on it.
- The interpreter now requires that the runtime.runtimeError
type be part of the SSA program. This requires that clients
import this package prior to invoking the interpreter.
This in turn requires (Importer).ImportPackage(path string),
which this CL adds.
- All $GOROOT/test/recover{,1,2,3}.go tests are now passing.
NB, the bug described in coverage.go (defer/recover in a concatenated
init function) remains. Will be fixed in a follow-up.

The $GOROOT/tests may print "BUG" on failure but do not
necessarily exit zero, so we must capture their output too.
Details:
- make plan9 use unix's valueToBytes function (now in externals.go)
- direct the target's syscall.Write and print/println built-ins to a new utility, write(). This may capture the output into a global variable.

- This change implements the correct type-based equivalence
relation for aggregate types. e.g. comparison of struct
types no longer compares the anonymous fields. We do
analogous things for hash().
- equals() and eqnil() have been separated: the former panics
for uncomparable types, the latter permits comparisons of
slice/map/func types against a literal nil and is intended
for use only by "static" ssa.BinOp(EQL), not "dynamic" slice
comparisons encountered during (e.g.) interface comparisons,
which should panic regardless of operand nilness.
- we use a (global) typemap.Hasher to compute type hashes;
hashing the Type.String() value was not sound.
+ tests.
NB, this change unearthed a bug in defer/recover within
init(); it will be fixed in a followup change.

Motivation: pointer analysis tools (like the oracle) want the
user to specify a set of initial packages, like 'go test'.
This change enables the user to specify a set of packages on
the command line using importer.LoadInitialPackages(args).
Each argument is interpreted as either:
- a comma-separated list of *.go source files together
comprising one non-importable ad-hoc package.
e.g. "src/pkg/net/http/triv.go" gives us [main].
- an import path, denoting both the imported package
and its non-importable external test package, if any.
e.g. "fmt" gives us [fmt, fmt_test].
Current type-checker limitations mean that only the first
import path may contribute tests: multiple packages augmented
by *_test.go files could create import cycles, which 'go test'
avoids by building a separate executable for each one.
That approach is less attractive for static analysis.
Details: (many files touched, but importer.go is the crux)
importer:
- PackageInfo.Importable boolean indicates whether
package is importable.
- un-expose Importer.Packages; expose AllPackages() instead.
- CreatePackageFromArgs has become LoadInitialPackages.
- imports() moved to util.go, renamed importsOf().
- InitialPackagesUsage usage message exported to clients.
- the package name for ad-hoc packages now comes from the
'package' decl, not "main".
ssa.Program:
- added CreatePackages() method
- PackagesByPath un-exposed, renamed 'imported'.
- expose AllPackages and ImportedPackage accessors.
oracle:
- describe: explain and workaround a go/types bug.
Misc:
- Removed various unnecessary error.Error() calls in Printf args.

1. ParseFiles (in util.go) parses each file in its own goroutine.
2. (*Importer).LoadPackage asynchronously prefetches the
import graph by scanning the imports of each loaded package
and calling LoadPackage on each one.
LoadPackage is now thread-safe and idempotent: it uses a
condition variable per package; the first goroutine to
request a package becomes responsible for loading it and
broadcasts to the others (waiting) when it becomes ready.
ssadump runs 34% faster when loading the oracle.
Also, refactorings:
- delete SourceLoader mechanism; just expose go/build.Context directly.
- CreateSourcePackage now also returns an error directly,
rather than via PackageInfo.Err, since every client wants that.

&x.f, &x[0], x[i:j], &*x all must panic if x==nil.
The first three are already addressed by the semantics of
FieldAddr, IndexAddr, Slice; updated docs to reflect this.
The final case requires generation of an additional dynamic check.
See golang.org/s/go12nil for details.

Package.CreateTestMainFunction() creates a function called
main and adds it to the package. This function calls
testing.Main in the Go library with the appropriate arguments:
slices of test, benchmark and example functions from the
package.
Tested by running the interpreter on the following tests:
- unicode/script_test.go
- unicode/digit_test.go
- hash/crc32/crc32_test.go
- path/path_test.go
It's also covered indirectly via the pointer analysis.

Details:
- builder is now un-exported and is now a per-package entity.
- Package.nTo1Vars is now part of builder, where it belongs.
- CREATE phase code split out into its own file, create.go
- Context type is gone; it had become trivial after the
Importer refactoring.
- importer.PackageInfo.Imports() now encapsulates iteration
over imports.
Typical usage is now:
prog := ssa.NewProgram(imp.Fset, mode)
prog.CreatePackages(imp)
prog.BuildAll()
Builder.BuildPackage(Package) is now Package.Build()
Builder.BuildAllPackages() is now Program.BuildAll()

- Program.Lookup() func replaces Builder.globals map.
- also: keep Package.info field around until end of BuildPackage.

- split NewBuilder up into NewProgram and Program.CreatePackages(...)
- move Builder.BuildAllPackages -> Program.BuildAll(Context)
- move Builder.BuildPackage -> Package.Build(Context)

PLEASE NOTE: the APIs for both "importer" and "ssa" packages
will continue to evolve and both need some polishing; the key
thing is that this CL splits them.
The go.types/importer package contains contains the Importer,
which takes care of the mechanics of loading a set of packages
and type-checking them. It exposes for each package a
PackageInfo containing:
- the package's ASTs (i.e. the input to the typechecker)
- the types.Package object
- the memoization of the typechecker callbacks for identifier
resolution, constant folding and expression type inference.
Method-set computation (and hence bridge-method creation) is
now moved to after creation of all packages: since they are no
longer created in topological order, we can't guarantee the
needed delegate methods exist yet.
ssa.Package no longer has public TypeOf, ObjectOf, ValueOf methods.
The private counterparts are valid only during the build phase.
Also:
- added to go/types an informative error (not crash) for an
importer() returning nil without error.
- removed Package.Name(), barely needed.
- changed Package.String() slightly.
- flag what looks like a bug in makeBridgeMethod. Will follow up.

Extracted Builder.findMethod function to handle
methodset/receiver logic common to
function calls (Builder.setCall) and
bound method closure creation (Builder.selector).
Capture: added explicit Name, Type fields to Capture instead
of relying on Outer field, which is now un-exported since its
only purpose is to let Builder.expr(case *ast.FuncLit) know
which values to put in the closure; it is nilled immediately
after.
Simplified Function.lookup() logic: there's no need to walk
the Outer chain each time to set Alloc.Heap=true, as it's
already set during creation of the outermost
Capture{outer:*Alloc}.
Added interp/testdata/boundmeth.go test.
Cosmetic changes:
- add support for bound method thunks to Function.FullName().
- Simplified {Literal,Global,Builtin,Function}.String()
- doc: Captures are no longer necessarily addresses.
- added yet another missing pair of "()" (go/types accessors).
- print "Synthetic" not "Declared at -" for synthetic functions.
- use '$' not center-dot in synthetic identifiers (easier to type).
