This CL introduces the typeOff type and a lookup method of the same name that can turn a typeOff offset into an *rtype. In a typical Go binary (built with buildmode=exe, pie, c-archive, or c-shared), there is one moduledata and all typeOff values are offsets relative to firstmoduledata.types. This makes computing the pointer cheap in typical programs. With buildmode=shared (and one day, buildmode=plugin) there are multiple modules whose relative offset is determined at runtime. We identify a type in the general case by the pair of the original *rtype that references it and its typeOff value. We determine the module from the original pointer, and then use the typeOff from there to compute the final *rtype. To ensure there is only one *rtype representing each type, the runtime initializes a typemap for each module, using any identical type from an earlier module when resolving that offset. This means that types computed from an offset match the type mapped by the pointer dynamic relocations. A series of followup CLs will replace other *rtype values with typeOff (and name/*string with nameOff). For types created at runtime by reflect, type offsets are treated as global IDs and reference into a reflect offset map kept by the runtime. darwin/amd64: cmd/go: -57KB (0.6%) jujud: -557KB (0.8%) linux/amd64 PIE: cmd/go: -361KB (3.0%) jujud: -3.5MB (4.2%) For #6853.

The Go Programming Language
Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.
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.
