Keith Randall 7eaa8efbe4 cmd/compile: don't let spills clobber arguments 
The compiler allows code to have multiple differently-typed views of a
single argument. For instance, if we have

func f(x float64) {
   y := *(*int64)(unsafe.Pointer(&x))
   ...
}

Then in SSA we get two OpArg ops, one with float64 type and one with
int64 type.

The compiler will try to reuse argument slots for spill slots. It
checks that the argument slot is dead by consulting an interference
graph.

When building the interference graph, we normally ignore cross-type
edges because the values on either end of that edge can't be allocated
to the same slot. (This is just a space-saving optimization.) This
rule breaks down when one of the values is an argument, because of the
multiple views described above. If we're spilling a float64, it is not
enough that the float64 version of x is dead; the int64 version of x
has to be dead also.

Remove the optimization of not recording interference edges if types
don't match. That optimization is incorrect if one of the values
connected by the edge is an argument.

Fixes #23522

README.md

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:

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.
