Compound AUTO types weren't named previously. That was because live
variable analysis (plive.go) doesn't handle spilling to compound types.
It can't handle them because there is no valid place to put VARDEFs when
regalloc is spilling compound types.
compound types = multiword builtin types: complex, string, slice, and
interface.
Instead, we split named AUTOs into individual one-word variables. For
example, a string s gets split into a byte ptr s.ptr and an integer
s.len. Those two variables can be spilled to / restored from
independently. As a result, live variable analysis can handle them
because they are one-word objects.
This CL will change how AUTOs are described in DWARF information.
Consider the code:
func f(s string, i int) int {
x := s[i:i+5]
g()
return lookup(x)
}
The old compiler would spill x to two consecutive slots on the stack,
both named x (at offsets 0 and 8). The new compiler spills the pointer
of x to a slot named x.ptr. It doesn't spill x.len at all, as it is a
constant (5) and can be rematerialized for the call to lookup.
So compound objects may not be spilled in their entirety, and even if
they are they won't necessarily be contiguous. Such is the price of
optimization.
Re-enable live variable analysis tests. One test remains disabled, it
fails because of #14904.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

Binary Distribution Notes
If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.
For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:
export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
