Austin Clements fa9b57bb1d runtime: make next_gc ^0 when GC is disabled
When GC is disabled, we set gcpercent to -1. However, we still use
gcpercent to compute several values, such as next_gc and gc_trigger.
These calculations are meaningless when gcpercent is -1 and result in
meaningless values. This is okay in a sense because we also never use
these values if gcpercent is -1, but they're confusing when exposed to
the user, for example via MemStats or the execution trace. It's
particularly unfortunate in the execution trace because it attempts to
plot the underflowed value of next_gc, which scales all useful
information in the heap row into oblivion.

Fix this by making next_gc ^0 when gcpercent < 0. This has the
advantage of being true in a way: next_gc is effectively infinite when
gcpercent < 0. We can also detect this special value when updating the
execution trace and report next_gc as 0 so it doesn't blow up the
display of the heap line.

The Go Programming Language

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

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

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!

To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Note that we do not accept pull requests and that we use the issue tracker for bug reports and proposals only. Please ask questions on https://forum.golangbridge.org or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts.

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.
