Josh Bleecher Snyder 8607b2e825 cmd/compile: optimize A->B->C Moves that include VarDefs
We have an existing optimization that recognizes
memory moves of the form A -> B -> C and converts
them into A -> C, in the hopes that the store to
B will be end up being dead and thus eliminated.

However, when A, B, and C are large types,
the front end sometimes emits VarDef ops for the moves.
This change adds an optimization to match that pattern.

This required changing an old compiler test.
The test assumed that a temporary was required
to deal with a large return value.
With this optimization in place, that temporary
ended up being eliminated.

Triggers 649 times during 'go build -a std cmd'.

Cuts 16k off cmd/go.

The test directory contains tests of the Go tool chain and runtime. It includes black box tests, regression tests, and error output tests. They are run as part of all.bash.

To run just these tests, execute:

../bin/go run run.go

Standard library tests should be written as regular Go tests in the appropriate package.

The tool chain and runtime also have regular Go tests in their packages. The main reasons to add a new test to this directory are:

  • it is most naturally expressed using the test runner; or
  • it is also applicable to gccgo and other Go tool chains.
