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: func(any, ...interface{}).
After: func(any, ...any)
They are no longer variadic, so you can't write print(x, y...).
(Recall that print(1) and print(interface{}(1)) behave
differently and that this is useful.)

The $GOROOT/tests may print "BUG" on failure but do not
necessarily exit zero, so we must capture their output too.
Details:
- make plan9 use unix's valueToBytes function (now in externals.go)
- direct the target's syscall.Write and print/println built-ins to a new utility, write(). This may capture the output into a global variable.

- This change implements the correct type-based equivalence
relation for aggregate types. e.g. comparison of struct
types no longer compares the anonymous fields. We do
analogous things for hash().
- equals() and eqnil() have been separated: the former panics
for uncomparable types, the latter permits comparisons of
slice/map/func types against a literal nil and is intended
for use only by "static" ssa.BinOp(EQL), not "dynamic" slice
comparisons encountered during (e.g.) interface comparisons,
which should panic regardless of operand nilness.
- we use a (global) typemap.Hasher to compute type hashes;
hashing the Type.String() value was not sound.
+ tests.
NB, this change unearthed a bug in defer/recover within
init(); it will be fixed in a followup change.

Running the interpreter on (most of) the tests package in
"encoding" unearthed a couple of ssa.builder bugs, already
fixed. This CL contains the interpreter fixes that were
required. (The "encoding" tests aren't added to the suite
since they're slow.)
Added intrinsics for:
math.Exp
math.Min
hash/crc32.haveSSE42
(reflect.Type).Field
(reflect.Type).NumField
(reflect.Type).NumMethod
reflect.New
(reflect.Value).NumMethod
syscall.RawSyscall (returns ENOSYS)
reflect.Set (a no-op)
Treat unsafe.Pointer -> *T conversions by returning new(T).
This is incorrect but at least preserves type-safety,
which is sufficient for these tests.
hashmap: treat nil *hashmap as an empty map.

methprom.go covers method promotion.
Found bug: receiver() requires a following load under some
circumstances.
ifaceconv.go covers interface conversion.
Found bug: confusion about infallible and fallible conversions
led to use of TypeAssert in emitConv, which should never fail.
Changed semantics of ChangeInterface to make it infallible
and made some simplifications.
Also in this CL:
- SelectState.Pos now records the position of the
the '<-' operator for sends/receives done by a Select.

- removed a number of obsolete TODO(gri) comments.
- bring ssa.DefaultType back into sync with types.defaultType.
- re-enable types.Package.Path()!="" assertion.
- use Path() (not reflect pointer) in sort routine.
- make interp.checkInterface use types.MissingMethod.
- un-export ssa.MakeId function.
- inline pointer() into all callers, and delete.
- enable two more interp_tests: $GOROOT/test/{method3,cmp}.go
- add links to bugs to other interp_tests.
- add runtime.NumCPU to ssa/interp/externals.go

Details:
- reintroduce interp.asUint64: it's not sound to use only the
low 32 bits of y, which is what asInt gives us, when GOARCH=386.
- instead, emit a uint64 conversion when y is not unsigned
(i.e. a signed var, or an untyped constant).
Tested on 386 & x86-64.

Before, all values received on some channel by Select would
flow to an empty interface, creating a spurious confluence for
flow analyses. Now, the tuple returned by Select has one
component for each 'receive' case.
Also, fixes:
- Removed workarounds for now-fixed typechecker bug in FuncLit+TypeAssert.
- sanity check that all Value Instructions have non-nil Type().
- Convert: document and sanity-check that at least one of the types is basic.
Also, other things to help clients:
- Define CallInstruction interface: common parts of Call, Go, Defer.
- Add CallCommon.Signature() method.
- Literal.Pos() is now populated.
