The VARDEF placement must be before the initialization
but after any final use. If you have something like s = ... using s ...
the rhs must be evaluated, then the VARDEF, then the lhs
assigned.
There is a large comment in pgen.c on gvardef explaining
this in more detail.
This CL also includes Ian's suggestions from earlier CLs,
namely commenting the use of mode in link.h and fixing
the precedence of the ~r check in dcl.c.
This CL enables the check that if liveness analysis decides
a variable is live on entry to the function, that variable must
be a function parameter (not a result, and not a local variable).
If this check fails, it indicates a bug in the liveness analysis or
in the generated code being analyzed.
The race detector generates invalid code for append(x, y...).
The code declares a temporary t and then uses cap(t) before
initializing t. The new liveness check catches this bug and
stops the compiler from writing out the buggy code.
Consequently, this CL disables the race detector tests in
run.bash until the race detector bug can be fixed
(golang.org/issue/7334).
Except for the race detector bug, the liveness analysis check
does not detect any problems (this CL and the previous CLs
fixed all the detected problems).
The net test still fails with GOGC=0 but the rest of the tests
now pass or time out (because GOGC=0 is so slow).

We now use the %A, %D, %P, and %R routines from liblink
across the board.
Fixes#7178.

rsc suggested that we split the whole linker changes into three parts.
This is the first one, mostly dealing with adding Hsolaris.

Many calls to symgrow pass a vlong value. Change the function
to not implicitly truncate, and to instead give an error if
the value is too large.

- new object file reader/writer (liblink/objfile.c)
- remove old object file writing routines
- add pcdata iterator
- remove all trace of "line number stack" and "path fragments" from
object files, linker (!!!)
- dwarf now writes a single "compilation unit" instead of one per package
This CL disables the check for chains of no-split functions that
could overflow the stack red zone. A future CL will attack the problem
of reenabling that check (issue 6931).
This CL is just the liblink and cmd/ld changes.
There are minor associated adjustments in CL 37030045.
Each depends on the other.

There is an enormous amount of code moving around in this CL,
but the code is the same, and it is invoked in the same ways.
This CL is preparation for the new linker structure, not the new
structure itself.
The new library's definition is in include/link.h.
The main change is the use of a Link structure to hold all the
linker-relevant state, replacing the smattering of global variables.
The Link structure should both make it clearer which state must
be carried around and make it possible to parallelize more easily
later.
The main body of the linker has moved into the architecture-independent
cmd/ld directory. That includes the list of known header types, so the
distinction between Hplan9x32 and Hplan9x64 is removed (no other
header type distinguished 32- and 64-bit formats), and code for unused
formats such as ipaq kernels has been deleted.
The code being deleted from 5l, 6l, and 8l reappears in liblink or in ld.
Because multiple files are being merged in the liblink directory,
it is not possible to show the diffs nicely in hg.
The Prog and Addr structures have been unified into an
architecture-independent form and moved to link.h, where they will
be shared by all tools: the assemblers, the compilers, and the linkers.
The unification makes it possible to write architecture-independent
traversal of Prog lists, among other benefits.
The Sym structures cannot be unified: they are too fundamentally
different between the linker and the compilers. Instead, liblink defines
an LSym - a linker Sym - to be used in the Prog and Addr structures,
and the linker now refers exclusively to LSyms. The compilers will
keep using their own syms but will fill out the corresponding LSyms in
the Prog and Addr structures.
Although code from 5l, 6l, and 8l is now in a single library, the
code has been arranged so that only one architecture needs to
be linked into a particular program: 5l will not contain the code
needed for x86 instruction layout, for example.
The object file writing code in liblink/obj.c is from cmd/gc/obj.c.
Preparation for golang.org/s/go13linker work.
This CL does not build by itself. It depends on 35740044
and will be submitted at the same time.
