Russ Cox d227d680ec cmd/gc: use 100x less memory for []byte("string")
[]byte("string") was simplifying to
[]byte{0: 0x73, 1: 0x74, 2: 0x72, 3: 0x69, 4: 0x6e, 5: 0x67},
but that latter form takes up much more memory in the compiler.
Preserve the string form and recognize it to turn global variables
initialized this way into linker-initialized data.

Reduces the compiler memory footprint for a large []byte initialized
this way from approximately 10 kB/B to under 100 B/B.

See also issue 6643.

This is the source code repository for the Go programming language.  

For documentation about how to install and use Go,
visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html
in your web browser.

After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted
doc/install-source.html by running godoc --http=:6060
and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install/source.

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 README).  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.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 doc/install.html for more details.
