This recently added arm64 memmove codegen check:
func movesmall() {
// arm64:-"memmove"
x := [...]byte{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}
copy(x[1:], x[:])
}
is not correct, for two reasons:
1. regexps are matched from the start of the disasm line (excluding
line information). This mean that a negative -"memmove" check will
pass against a 'CALL runtime.memmove' line because the line does
not start with 'memmove' (its starts with CALL...).
The way to specify no 'memmove' match whatsoever on the line is
-".*memmove"
2. AFAIK comments on their own line are matched against the first
subsequent non-comment line. So the code above only verifies that
the x := ... line does not generate a memmove. The comment should
be moved near the copy() line, if it's that one we want to not
generate a memmove call.
The fact that the test above is not effective can be checked by
running `go run run.go -v codegen` in the toplevel test directory with
a go1.10 toolchain (that does not have the memmove-elision
optimization). The test will still pass (it shouldn't).
This change changes the regexp to -".*memmove" and moves it near the
line it needs to (not)match.
