Josh Bleecher Snyder a0232ea0dd cmd/compile: allow deduplication of long strings
String symbols' names used to appear in the final binary.
Using a string's contents as it's symbol's name
was a thus a bad idea if the string's name was long.
Recent improvements by crawshaw have changed that.

Instead of placing long strings behind opaque names
in local packages, place them in the global string
package and make them content-addressable.
Symbol names still occur in the object files,
so use a hash to avoid needless length there.

Reduces the size of cmd/go by 30k.

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.
