Josh Bleecher Snyder e85265e8c2 cmd/compile: optimize bool to int conversion
This CL teaches SSA to recognize code of the form

// b is a boolean value, i is an int of some flavor
if b {
	i = 1
} else {
	i = 0
}

and use b's underlying 0/1 representation for i
instead of generating jumps.

Unfortunately, it does not work on the obvious code:

func bool2int(b bool) int {
	if b {
		return 1
	}
	return 0
}

This is left for future work.
Note that the existing phiopt optimizations also don't work for:

func neg(b bool) bool {
	if b {
		return false
	}
	return true
}

In the meantime, runtime authors and the like can use:

func bool2int(b bool) int {
	var i int
	if b {
		i = 1
	} else {
		i = 0
	}
	return i
}

This compiles to:

"".bool2int t=1 size=16 args=0x10 locals=0x0
	0x0000 00000 (x.go:25)	TEXT	"".bool2int(SB), $0-16
	0x0000 00000 (x.go:25)	FUNCDATA	$0, gclocals·23e8278e2b69a3a75fa59b23c49ed6ad(SB)
	0x0000 00000 (x.go:25)	FUNCDATA	$1, gclocals·33cdeccccebe80329f1fdbee7f5874cb(SB)
	0x0000 00000 (x.go:32)	MOVBLZX	"".b+8(FP), AX
	0x0005 00005 (x.go:32)	MOVBQZX	AL, AX
	0x0008 00008 (x.go:32)	MOVQ	AX, "".~r1+16(FP)
	0x000d 00013 (x.go:32)	RET

The extraneous MOVBQZX is #15300.

This optimization also helps range and slice.
The compiler must protect against pointers pointing
to the end of a slice/string. It does this by increasing
a pointer by either 0 or 1 * elemsize, based on a condition.
This CL optimizes away a jump in that code.

This CL triggers 382 times while compiling the standard library.

Updating code to utilize this optimization is left for future CLs.

Updates #6011

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.
