Global variable initializers like
var myErr error = &myError{"msg"}
have been converted to statically initialized data
from the earliest days of Go: there is no init-time
execution or allocation for that line of code.
But if the expression is moved into an inlinable function,
the static initialization no longer happens.
That is, this code has always executed and allocated
at init time, even after we added inlining to the compiler,
which should in theory make this code equivalent to
the original:
func NewError(s string) error { return &myError{s} }
var myErr2 = NewError("msg")
This CL makes the static initialization rewriter understand
inlined functions consisting of a single return statement,
like in this example, so that myErr2 can be implemented as
statically initialized data too, just like myErr, with no init-time
execution or allocation.
A real example of code that benefits from this rewrite is
all globally declared errors created with errors.New, like
package io
var EOF = errors.New("EOF")
Package io no longer has to allocate and initialize EOF each
time a program starts.
Another example of code that benefits is any globally declared
godebug setting (using the API from CL 449504), like
package http
var http2server = godebug.New("http2server")
These are no longer allocated and initialized at program startup either.
The list of functions that are inlined into static initializers when
compiling std and cmd (along with how many times each occurs) is:
cmd/compile/internal/ssa.StringToAux (3)
cmd/compile/internal/walk.mkmapnames (4)
errors.New (360)
go/ast.NewIdent (1)
go/constant.MakeBool (4)
go/constant.MakeInt64 (3)
image.NewUniform (4)
image/color.ModelFunc (11)
internal/godebug.New (12)
vendor/golang.org/x/text/unicode/bidi.newBidiTrie (1)
vendor/golang.org/x/text/unicode/norm.newNfcTrie (1)
vendor/golang.org/x/text/unicode/norm.newNfkcTrie (1)
For the cmd/go binary, this CL cuts the number of init-time
allocations from about 1920 to about 1620 (a 15% reduction).
The total executable code footprint of init functions is reduced
by 24kB, from 137kB to 113kB (an 18% reduction).
The overall binary size is reduced by 45kB,
from 15.335MB to 15.290MB (a 0.3% reduction).
(The binary size savings is larger than the executable code savings
because every byte of executable code also requires corresponding
runtime tables for unwinding, source-line mapping, and so on.)
Also merge test/sinit_run.go, which had stopped testing anything
at all as of CL 161337 (Feb 2019) and initempty.go into a new test
noinit.go.
Fixes#30820.

staticcopy of a struct or array should recursively call itself, not
staticassign.
This fixes an issue where a struct with a slice in it is copied during
static initialization. In this case, the backing array for the slice
is duplicated, and each copy of the slice refers to a different
backing array, which is incorrect. That issue has existed since at
least Go 1.2.
I'm not sure why this was never noticed. It seems like a pretty
obvious bug if anyone modifies the resulting slice.
In any case, we started to notice when the optimization in CL 140301
landed. Here is basically what happens in issue29013b.go:
1) The error above happens, so we get two backing stores for what
should be the same slice.
2) The code for initializing those backing stores is reused.
But not duplicated: they are the same Node structure.
3) The order pass allocates temporaries for the map operations.
For the first instance, things work fine and two temporaries are
allocated and stored in the OKEY nodes. For the second instance,
the order pass decides new temporaries aren't needed, because
the OKEY nodes already have temporaries in them.
But the order pass also puts a VARKILL of the temporaries between
the two instance initializations.
4) In this state, the code is technically incorrect. But before
CL 140301 it happens to work because the temporaries are still
correctly initialized when they are used for the second time. But then...
5) The new CL 140301 sees the VARKILLs and decides to reuse the
temporary for instance 1 map 2 to initialize the instance 2 map 1
map. Because the keys aren't re-initialized, instance 2 map 1
gets the wrong key inserted into it.

This avoids both a write barrier and then dynamic initialization
globals of the form
var x something
var xp = unsafe.Pointer(&x)
Using static initialization avoids emitting a relocation for &x,
which helps cgo.
Fixes#9411.

One failing case this removes is:
var bytes = []byte("hello, world")
var copy_bytes = bytes
We could handle this in the compiler, but it requires special
case for a variable that is initialized to the value of a
variable that is initialized to a string literal converted to
[]byte. This seems an unlikely case--it never occurs in the
standrd library--and it seems unnecessary to write the code to
handle it.
If we do want to support this case, one approach is
https://golang.org/cl/171840043.
The other failing cases are of the form
var bx bool
var copy_bx = bx
The compiler used to initialize copy_bx to false. However,
that led to issue 7665, since bx may be initialized in non-Go
code. The compiler no longer assumes that bx must be false,
so copy_bx can not be statically initialized.
We can fix these with https://golang.org/cl/169040043
if we also pass -complete to the compiler as part of this
test. This is OK but it's too late in the release cycle.
Fixes#8746.

Today, if run.go doesn't understand a test header line it just ignores
the test, making it too easy to write or edit tests that are not actually
being run.
- expand errorcheck to accept flags, so that bounds.go and escape*.go can run.
- create a whitelist of skippable tests in run.go; skipping others is an error.
- mark all skipped tests at top of file.
Update #4139.

Does as much as possible in data layout instead
of during the init function.
Handles var x = y; var y = z as a special case too,
because it is so prevalent in package unicode
(var Greek = _Greek; var _Greek = []...).
Introduces InitPlan description of initialized data
so that it can be traversed multiple times (for example,
in the copy handler).
Cuts package unicode's init function size by 8x.
All that remains there is map initialization, which
is on the chopping block too.
Fixes sinit.go test case.
Aggregate DATA instructions at end of object file.
