Russ Cox d447279927 cmd/internal/gc: optimize slice + write barrier
The code generated for a slice x[i:j] or x[i:j:k] computes the entire
new slice (base, len, cap) and then uses it as the evaluation of the
slice expression.

If the slice is part of an update x = x[i:j] or x = x[i:j:k], there are
opportunities to avoid computing some of these fields.

For x = x[0:i], we know that only the len is changing;
base can be ignored completely, and cap can be left unmodified.

For x = x[0:i:j], we know that only len and cap are changing;
base can be ignored completely.

For x = x[i:i], we know that the resulting cap is zero, and we don't
adjust the base during a slice producing a zero-cap result,
so again base can be ignored completely.

No write to base, no write barrier.

The old slice code was trying to work at a Go syntax level, mainly
because that was how you wrote code just once instead of once
per architecture. Now the compiler is factored a bit better and we
can implement slice during code generation but still have one copy
of the code. So the new code is working at that lower level.
(It must, to update only parts of the result.)

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.
