Currently, both asm and compile have a -symabis flag, but in asm it's
a boolean flag that means to generate a symbol ABIs file and in the
compiler its a string flag giving the path of the symbol ABIs file to
consume. I'm worried about this false symmetry biting us in the
future, so rename asm's flag to -gensymabis.

Because run.go doesn't pass the package being compiled to the compiler
via the -p flag, it can't match up the main·f symbol from the
assembler with the "func f" stub in Go, so it doesn't produce the
correct assembly stub.
Fix this by removing the package prefix from the assembly definition.
Alternatively, we could make run.go pass -p to the compiler, but it's
nicer to remove these package prefixes anyway.

of function ABIs in CL 147160.

We have an existing optimization that recognizes
memory moves of the form A -> B -> C and converts
them into A -> C, in the hopes that the store to
B will be end up being dead and thus eliminated.
However, when A, B, and C are large types,
the front end sometimes emits VarDef ops for the moves.
This change adds an optimization to match that pattern.
This required changing an old compiler test.
The test assumed that a temporary was required
to deal with a large return value.
With this optimization in place, that temporary
ended up being eliminated.

In cases like this:
func f() {

We'd really like to inline f into its callers. It can't hurt.
We implement this optimization by making calls a bit cheaper, enough
to afford a single call in the function body, but not 2.
The remaining budget allows for some argument modification, or perhaps
a wrapping conditional:
func f(x int) {
g(x, 0)
}
func f(x int) {
if x > 0 {
g()
}

This change re-introduces (temporarily) a work-around for recursive
alias type declarations, originally in https://golang.org/cl/35831/
(intended as fix for #18640). The work-around was removed later
for a more comprehensive cycle detection check. That check
contained a subtle error which made the code appear to work,
while in fact creating incorrect types internally. See #25838
for details.
By re-introducing the original work-around, we eliminate problems
with many simple recursive type declarations involving aliases;
specifically cases such as #27232 and #27267. However, the more
general problem remains.
This CL also fixes the subtle error (incorrect variable use when
analyzing a type cycle) mentioned above and now issues a fatal
error with a reference to the relevant issue (rather than crashing
later during the compilation). While not great, this is better
than the current status. The long-term solution will need to
address these cycles (see #25838).
As a consequence, several old test cases are not accepted anymore
by the compiler since they happened to work accidentally only.
This CL disables parts or all code of those test cases. The issues
are: #18640, #23823, and #24939.
One of the new test cases (fixedbugs/issue27232.go) exposed a
go/types issue. The test case is excluded from the go/types test
suite and an issue was filed (#28576).

This way, once the constant declarations are typechecked, all named
types are fully typechecked and have all of their methods added.
Usually this isn't important, as methods and interfaces cannot be used
in constant declarations. However, it can lead to confusing and
incorrect errors, such as:
$ cat f.go
package p
type I interface{ F() }
type T struct{}
const _ = I(T{})
func (T) F() {}
$ go build f.go
./f.go:6:12: cannot convert T literal (type T) to type I:
T does not implement I (missing F method)
The error is clearly wrong, as T does have an F method. If we ensure
that all funcs are typechecked before all constant declarations, we get
the correct error:
$ go build f2.go
# command-line-arguments
./f.go:6:7: const initializer I(T literal) is not a constant

In golang.org/cl/75310, the compiler's typechecker was changed so that
map key types were validated at a later stage, to make sure that all the
necessary type information was present.
This still worked for map type declarations, but caused a regression for
top-level map variable declarations. These now caused a fatal panic
instead of a typechecking error.
The cause was that checkMapKeys was run too early, before all
typechecking was done. In particular, top-level map variable
declarations are typechecked as external declarations, much later than
where checkMapKeys was run.
Add a test case for both exported and unexported top-level map
declarations, and add a second call to checkMapKeys at the actual end of
typechecking. Simply moving the one call isn't a good solution either;
the comments expand on that.

the OnesCount{64,32,16,8}, and TrailingZeros{64,32,16,8} math/bits
functions.

Ensure that we correctly type the stack temps for regular closures,
method function closures, and slice literals.
Then we don't need to override the dummy types later.
Furthermore, this allows order to reuse temporaries of these types.
OARRAYLIT doesn't need a temporary as far as I can tell, so I
removed that case from order.

Instead of allocating a new temporary each time one
is needed, keep a list of temporaries which are free
(have already been VARKILLed on every path) and use
one of them.
Should save a lot of stack space. In a function like this:
func main() {
fmt.Printf("%d %d\n", 2, 3)
fmt.Printf("%d %d\n", 4, 5)
fmt.Printf("%d %d\n", 6, 7)
}
The three [2]interface{} arrays used to hold the ... args
all use the same autotmp, instead of 3 different autotmps
as happened previous to this CL.

When we pass these types by reference, we usually have to allocate
temporaries on the stack, initialize them, then pass their address
to the conversion functions. It's simpler to pass these types
directly by value.
This particularly applies to conversions needed for fmt.Printf
(to interface{} for constructing a [...]interface{}).
func f(a, b, c string) {
fmt.Printf("%s %s\n", a, b)
fmt.Printf("%s %s\n", b, c)
}
This function's stack frame shrinks from 200 to 136 bytes, and
its code shrinks from 535 to 453 bytes.
The go binary shrinks 0.3%.
Update #24286
Aside: for this function f, we don't really need to allocate
temporaries for the convT2E function. We could use the address
of a, b, and c directly. That might get similar (or maybe better?)
improvements. I investigated a bit, but it seemed complicated
to do it safely. This change was much easier.
