reflect.Values may point to tagged objects with
interface type, e.g. x := reflect.ValueOf(new(interface{})).Elem().
We failed to consider this when implementing Elem.
Also, (reflect.Value).Interface() must do one "unboxing"
when it encounters such tagged objects.
i.e., x.Elem().Interface() and x.Interface() are equivalent
in that case.
Also:
- add example of tagged object with interface type.
- untabify (Label).String docstring.
- added tests.

The blog code is quite generic and with the replacement of template and
static files, it can be re-used. But the atom feed title is hard-coded
into the code. This patch adds a field to set the atom feed title to
the Config structure and uses it in the code where the title was
previously hard-coded.
A CL sent separately will set this Config field in the main package in
the go.blog sub-repository. (See CL 16850043 for that other patch).

A DebugRef associates a source expression E with an ssa.Value
V, but until now did not record whether V was the value or the
address of E. So, we would guess from the "pointerness" of
the Value, leading to confusion in some cases, e.g.
type N *N
var n N
n = &n // lvalue and rvalue are both pointers
Now we explicitly record 'IsAddress bool' in DebugRef, and
plumb this everywhere: through (*Function).ValueForExpr and
(*Program).VarValue, all the way to forming the pointer
analysis query.
Also:
- VarValue now treats each reference to a global distinctly,
just like it does for other vars. So:
var g int
func f() {
g = 1 // VarValue(g) == Const(1:int), !isAddress
print(g) // VarValue(g) == Global(g), isAddress
}
- DebugRefs are not emitted for references to predeclared
identifiers (nil, built-in).
- DebugRefs no longer prevent lifting of an Alloc var into a
register; now we update or discard the debug info.
- TestValueForExpr: improve coverage of ssa.EnclosingFunction
by putting expectations in methods and init funcs, not just
normal funcs.
- oracle: fix golden file broken by recent
(*types.Var).IsField change.

The spec does not exclude blank _ method names in interfaces
from the uniqueness criteria; i.e., at most one blank method
may appear in an interface type.
Arguably the spec is vague (and possibly incorrect) here.

compiler error.

Motivation:
Previously, we assumed that the set of types for which a
complete method set (containing all synthesized wrapper
functions) is required at runtime was the set of types
used as operands to some *ssa.MakeInterface instruction.
In fact, this is an underapproximation because types can
be derived from other ones via reflection, and some of
these may need methods. The reflect.Type API allows *T to
be derived from T, and these may have different method
sets. Reflection also allows almost any subcomponent of a
type to be accessed (with one exception: given T, defined
'type T struct{S}', you can reach S but not struct{S}).
As a result, the pointer analysis was unable to generate
all necessary constraints before running the solver,
causing a crash when reflection derives types whose
methods are unavailable. (A similar problem would afflict
an ahead-of-time compiler based on ssa. The ssa/interp
interpreter was immune only because it does not require
all wrapper methods to be created before execution
begins.)
Description:
This change causes the SSA builder to record, for each
package, the set of all types with non-empty method sets that
are referenced within that package. This set is accessed via
Packages.TypesWithMethodSets(). Program.TypesWithMethodSets()
returns its union across all packages.
The set of references that matter are:
- types of operands to some MakeInterface instruction (as before)
- types of all exported package members
- all subcomponents of the above, recursively.
This is a conservative approximation to the set of types
whose methods may be called dynamically.
We define the owning package of a type as follows:
- the owner of a named type is the package in which it is defined;
- the owner of a pointer-to-named type is the owner of that named type;
- the owner of all other types is nil.
A package must include the method sets for all types that it
owns, and all subcomponents of that type that are not owned by
another package, recursively. Types with an owner appear in
exactly one package; types with no owner (such as struct{T})
may appear within multiple packages.
(A typical Go compiler would emit multiple copies of these
methods as weak symbols; a typical linker would eliminate
duplicates.)
Also:
- go/types/typemap: implement hash function for *Tuple.
- pointer: generate nodes/constraints for all of
ssa.Program.TypesWithMethodSets().
Add rtti.go regression test.
- Add API test of Package.TypesWithMethodSets().
- Set Function.Pkg to nil (again) for wrapper functions,
since these may be shared by many packages.
- Remove a redundant logging statement.
- Document that ssa CREATE phase is in fact sequential.

Details:
- analysis locates ssa.Functions for (reflect.Value).Call
and runtime.SetFinalizer during startup to that it can
special-case them during genCall. ('Call' is forthcoming.)
- The callsite.targets mechanism is only used for dynamic
calls now. For static calls we call callEdge during constraint
generation; this is a minor optimisation.
- Static calls to SetFinalizer are inlined so that the call
appears to go direct to the finalizer. (We'll use the same
trick for (reflect.Value).Call.)
- runtime.FuncForPC: treat as a no-op.
- Fixed pointer_test to properly deal with expectations
that are multi-sets.
- Inlined rtypeMethodByNameConstraint.addMethod.

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.

Before, we would concatenate all the init() blocks together,
resulting in incorrect treatment of a recovered panic in one
init block: the implicit return would cause the subsequent ones
to be skipped.
The result is simpler, and closer to what gc does.
The additional functions are visible in the call graph,
so some tests required updating.

Various reflect operations permit assignability conversions,
i.e. their internals behave unlike y=x.(T) which unpacks only
those interface values in x that are identical to T.
We split typeAssertConstraint y=x.(T) into two constraints:
1) typeFilter, for when T is an interface type and no
representation change occurs.
2) unpack, for when T is a concrete type and the payload of the
tagged object is extracted. This constraint has an 'exact'
parameter indicating whether to use the predicate
IsIdentical (for type assertions) or
IsAssignable (for reflect operators).
