Name of built-in function is not reserved word in Go, and you can
use it as variable name. "new" is often used as local variable, for
instance.
This patch is to apply font-lock-builtin-face only when built-in
function name is followed by '(', so that it doesn't highlight
non-function variable that happen to have the same name as built-in
function.

This is the same check we use during stack copying.
The check cannot be applied to C stack frames, even
though we do emit pointer bitmaps for the arguments,
because (1) the pointer bitmaps assume all arguments
are always live, not true of outputs during the prologue,
and (2) the pointer bitmaps encode interface values as
pointer pairs, not true of interfaces holding integers.
For the rest of the frames, however, we should hold ourselves
to the rule that a pointer marked live really is initialized.
The interface scanning already implicitly checks this
because it interprets the type word as a valid type pointer.
This may slow things down a little because of the extra loads.
Or it may speed things up because we don't bother enqueuing
nil pointers anymore. Enough of the rest of the system is slow
right now that we can't measure it meaningfully.
Enable for now, even if it is slow, to shake out bugs in the
liveness bitmaps, and then decide whether to turn it off
for the Go 1.3 release (issue 7650 reminds us to do this).
The new m->traceback field lets us force printing of fp=
values on all goroutine stack traces when we detect a
bad pointer. This makes it easier to understand exactly
where in the frame the bad pointer is, so that we can trace
it back to a specific variable and determine what is wrong.

1. On entry to a function, only zero the ambiguously live stack variables.
Before, we were zeroing all stack variables containing pointers.
The zeroing is pretty inefficient right now (issue 7624), but there are also
too many stack variables detected as ambiguously live (issue 7345),
and that must be addressed before deciding how to improve the zeroing code.
(Changes in 5g/ggen.c, 6g/ggen.c, 8g/ggen.c, gc/pgen.c)
Fixes#7647.
2. Make the regopt word-based liveness analysis preserve the
whole-variable liveness property expected by the garbage collection
bitmap liveness analysis. That is, if the regopt liveness decides that
one word in a struct needs to be preserved, make sure it preserves
the entire struct. This is particularly important for multiword values
such as strings, slices, and interfaces, in which all the words need
to be present in order to understand the meaning.
(Changes in 5g/reg.c, 6g/reg.c, 8g/reg.c.)
Fixes#7591.
3. Make the regopt word-based liveness analysis treat a variable
as having its address taken - which makes it preserved across
all future calls - whenever n->addrtaken is set, for consistency
with the gc bitmap liveness analysis, even if there is no machine
instruction actually taking the address. In this case n->addrtaken
is incorrect (a nicer way to put it is overconservative), and ideally
there would be no such cases, but they can happen and the two
analyses need to agree.
(Changes in 5g/reg.c, 6g/reg.c, 8g/reg.c; test in bug484.go.)
Fixes crashes found by turning off "zero everything" in step 1.
4. Remove spurious VARDEF annotations. As the comment in
gc/pgen.c explains, the VARDEF must immediately precede
the initialization. It cannot be too early, and it cannot be too late.
In particular, if a function call sits between the VARDEF and the
actual machine instructions doing the initialization, the variable
will be treated as live during that function call even though it is
uninitialized, leading to problems.
(Changes in gc/gen.c; test in live.go.)
Fixes crashes found by turning off "zero everything" in step 1.
5. Do not treat loading the address of a wide value as a signal
that the value must be initialized. Instead depend on the existence
of a VARDEF or the first actual read/write of a word in the value.
If the load is in order to pass the address to a function that does
the actual initialization, treating the load as an implicit VARDEF
causes the same problems as described in step 4.
The alternative is to arrange to zero every such value before
passing it to the real initialization function, but this is a much
easier and more efficient change.
(Changes in gc/plive.c.)
Fixes crashes found by turning off "zero everything" in step 1.
6. Treat wide input parameters with their address taken as
initialized on entry to the function. Otherwise they look
"ambiguously live" and we will try to emit code to zero them.
(Changes in gc/plive.c.)
Fixes crashes found by turning off "zero everything" in step 1.
7. An array of length 0 has no pointers, even if the element type does.
Without this change, the zeroing code complains when asked to
clear a 0-length array.

Zeroing the outputs makes sure that during function calls
in those functions we do not let the garbage collector
treat uninitialized values as pointers.
The garbage collector may still see uninitialized values
if a preemption occurs during the function prologue,
before the zeroing has had a chance to run.
This reduces the number of 'bad pointer' messages when
that runtime check is enabled, but it doesn't fix all of them,
so the check is still disabled.
It will also avoid leaks, although I doubt any of these were
particularly serious.

Fixes#7627.
CL 61970044 changed the order in which .a files are passed to gccgo's link phase. However by reversing the order it caused gccgo to complain if both internal (liba.a) and external (liba_test.a) versions of a package were presented as the former would not contain all the necessary symbols, and the latter would duplicate symbols already defined.
This change ensures that all 'fake' targets remain at the top of the final link order which should be fine as a package compiled as an external test is a superset of its internal sibling.
Looking at how gcToolchain links tests I think this change now accurately mirrors those actions which present $WORK/_test before $WORK in the link order.

Change two-bit stack map entries to encode:
0 = dead
1 = scalar
2 = pointer
3 = multiword
If multiword, the two-bit entry for the following word encodes:
0 = string
1 = slice
2 = iface
3 = eface
That way, during stack scanning we can check if a string
is zero length or a slice has zero capacity. We can avoid
following the contained pointer in those cases. It is safe
to do so because it can never be dereferenced, and it is
desirable to do so because it may cause false retention
of the following block in memory.

This the second part of making persistent HTTPS connections to
certain servers (notably Amazon) robust.
See the story in part 1: https://golang.org/cl/76400046/
This is the http Transport change that notes whether our
net.Conn.Read has ever seen an EOF. If it has, then we use
that as an additional signal to not re-use that connection (in
addition to the HTTP response headers)

Update #3514
An io.Reader is permitted to return either (n, nil)
or (n, io.EOF) on EOF or other error.
The tls package previously always returned (n, nil) for a read
of size n if n bytes were available, not surfacing errors at
the same time.
Amazon's HTTPS frontends like to hang up on clients without
sending the appropriate HTTP headers. (In their defense,
they're allowed to hang up any time, but generally a server
hangs up after a bit of inactivity, not immediately.) In any
case, the Go HTTP client tries to re-use connections by
looking at whether the response headers say to keep the
connection open, and because the connection looks okay, under
heavy load it's possible we'll reuse it immediately, writing
the next request, just as the Transport's always-reading
goroutine returns from tls.Conn.Read and sees (0, io.EOF).
But because Amazon does send an AlertCloseNotify record before
it hangs up on us, and the tls package does its own internal
buffering (up to 1024 bytes) of pending data, we have the
AlertCloseNotify in an unread buffer when our Conn.Read (to
the HTTP Transport code) reads its final bit of data in the
HTTP response body.
This change makes that final Read return (n, io.EOF) when
an AlertCloseNotify record is buffered right after, if we'd
otherwise return (n, nil).
A dependent change in the HTTP code then notes whether a
client connection has seen an io.EOF and uses that as an
additional signal to not reuse a HTTPS connection. With both
changes, the majority of Amazon request failures go
away. Without either one, 10-20 goroutines hitting the S3 API
leads to such an error rate that empirically up to 5 retries
are needed to complete an API call.

Structured Exception Handling (SEH) was the first way to handle
exceptions (memory faults, divides by zero) on Windows.
The S might as well stand for "stack-based": the implementation
interprets stack addresses in a few different ways, and it gets
subtly confused by Go's management of stacks. It's also something
that requires active maintenance during cgo switches, and we've
had bugs in that maintenance in the past.
We have recently come to believe that SEH cannot work with
Go's stack usage. See http://golang.org/issue/7325 for details.
Vectored Exception Handling (VEH) is more like a Unix signal
handler: you set it once for the whole process and forget about it.
This CL drops all the SEH code and replaces it with VEH code.
Many special cases and 7 #ifdefs disappear.
VEH was introduced in Windows XP, so Go on windows/386 will
now require Windows XP or later. The previous requirement was
Windows 2000 or later. Windows 2000 immediately preceded
Windows XP, so Windows 2000 is the only affected version.
Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 2000 in 2010.
