dist is short for distribution. This is the new Go distribution tool.
The plan is to replace the Makefiles with what amounts to
'go tool dist bootstrap', although it cannot be invoked like
that since it is in charge of getting us to the point where we
can build the go command.
It will also add additional commands to replace bash scripts
like test/run (go tool dist testrun), eventually eliminating our
dependence on not just bash but all the Unix tools and all
of cygwin.
This is strong enough to build (cc *.c) and run (a.out bootstrap)
to build not just the C libraries and tools but also the basic
Go packages up to the bootstrap form of the go command
(go_bootstrap). I've run it successfully on both Linux and Windows.
This means that once we've switched to this tool in the build,
we can delete the buildscripts.
This tool is not nearly as nice as the go tool. There are many
special cases that turn into simple if statements or tables in
the code. Please forgive that. C does not enjoy the benefits
that we designed into Go.
I was planning to wait to do this until after Go 1, but the
Windows builders are both broken due to a bug in either
make or bash or both involving the parsing of quoted command
arguments. Make thinks it is invoking
quietgcc -fno-common -I"c:/go/include" -ggdb -O2 -c foo.c
but bash (quietgcc is a bash script) thinks it is being invoked as
quietgcc -fno-common '-Ic:/go/include -ggdb' -O2 -c foo.c
which obviously does not have the desired effect. Rather than fight
these clumsy ports, I accelerated the schedule for the new tool.
We should be completely off cygwin (using just the mingw gcc port,
which is much more standalone) before Go 1.
It is big for a single CL, and for that I apologize. I can cut it into
separate CLs along file boundaries if people would prefer that.

The change to -m is the only one necessary
to close the issue. The others are useful
to know about when debugging but shouldn't
be in the usage message since they may go
away or change at any time.

This patch adds a function to get the current cpu ticks. This is
deemed to be 'sufficiently random' to use to seed fastrand to mitigate
the algorithmic complexity attacks on the hash table implementation.
On AMD64 we use the RDTSC instruction. For 386, this instruction,
while valid, is not recognized by 8a so I've inserted the opcode by
hand. For ARM, this routine is currently stubbed to return a constant
0 value.
Future work: update 8a to recognize RDTSC.
Fixes#2630.

- Unified bounary conditions for NFC and NFD and removed some indirections.
This enforces boundaries at the character level, which is typically what
the user expects. (NFD allows a boundary between 'a' and '`', for example,
which may give unexpected results for collation. The current implementation
is already stricter than the standard, so nothing much changes. This change
just formalizes it.
- Moved methods of qcflags to runeInfo.
- Swapped YesC and YesMaybe bits in qcFlags. This is to aid future changes.
- runeInfo return values use named fields in preperation for struct change.
- Replaced some left-over uint32s with rune.

Without this change, fd3 can be collected by the garbage
collector and finalized, which causes the file descriptor to
be closed, which causes the call to os.Open to return 3 rather
than the expected descriptor number.

This is a minimal API extension, it makes it possible
to implement missing Int functionality externally w/o
compromising efficiency. It is the hope that this will
reduce the number of feature requests going directly
into the big package.
Also: Fixed some naming inconsistencies: The receiver
is only called z when it is also the result.

This will add the temporary object directory into the lookup
path so that cgo-exported function declarations may be
included from C files.
This was previously applied by CL 5600043, and apparently
removed by mistake on CL 5598045.

Plan 9's tr(1) doesn't accept the C-style escapes
for tab and newline characters. I was going to use
the \xFF hexadecimal escapes but GNU tr(1) doesn't
accept those. It seems octal is the least common
denominator.

Previously, I had made available a tarball of
the modified system headers that were necessary
to build on Plan 9 but that was only a stopgap.
I think this method is much better since no
files outside of $GOROOT will have to be added
or modified during the build process.
Also, this is just the first step. I'll change
the build to reference these files in another CL
(that also contains a few more Makefile changes).

Print all the syntax errors. Fixes issue 2811.
Change Windows binary removal strategy.
This should keep the temporary files closer to
the binaries they are for, which will make it
more likely that the rename is not cross-device
and also make it easier to clean them up.
Fixes#2604 (as much as we can).
The standard build does not use the go command
to install the go command anymore, so issue 2604
is less of a concern than it originally was.
(It uses the go_bootstrap command to install
the go command.)
