Josh Bleecher Snyder b92d39ef69 cmd/compile/internal/obj/x86: eliminate some function prologues
The standard sort swap method

func (t T) Swap(i, j int) {
  t[i], t[j] = t[j], t[i]
}

uses no stack space on architectures for which
FixedFrameSize == 0, currently 386 and amd64.

Nevertheless, we insert a stack check prologue.
This is because it contains a call to
runtime.panicindex.

However, for a few common runtime functions,
we know at compile time that they require
no arguments. Allow them to pass unnoticed.

Triggers for 380 functions during make.bash.
Cuts 4k off cmd/go.

The Go Programming Language

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

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.
