John Dethridge 8f65379f94 cmd/link: more efficient encoding of DWARF line number information
The (pc, line) deltas in the line number information are currently encoded
either with a special opcode, or with a triplet of DW_LNS_advance_pc,
DW_LNS_advance_line, and DW_LNS_copy instructions.  Instead of DW_LNS_copy,
this change always uses a special opcode, which can make DW_LNS_advance_pc or
DW_LNS_advance_line unnecessary, or make their operands take fewer bytes.  It
chooses the special opcode so that the encoding of the remaining deltas is as
small as possible.

Use DW_LNS_const_add_pc or DW_LNS_fixed_advance_pc instead of DW_LNS_advance_pc
for deltas where they save a byte.

Update LINE_BASE and LINE_RANGE constants to optimal values for this strategy.

This reduces line number information by about 35% and total size by about 2%
for a typical binary.

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.
