Commit Message

Ian Lance Taylor May 16, 2019, 4:35 a.m. UTC
This patch to the Go frontend by Cherry Zhang improves escape analysis
on interface conversions.

If an interface does not escape, it doesn't need a heap allocation to
hold the data (for non-direct interface type).  This CL improves the
escape analysis to track interface conversions, and reduces these
allocations.

Implicit interface conversions were mostly added late in the
compilation pipeline, after the escape analysis.  For the escape
analysis to see them, we move the introduction of these conversions
earlier, right before the escape analysis.

Now that the compiler can generate interface conversions inlined,
gcc/testsuite/go.test/test/nilptr2.go needs to be adjusted as in
golang.org/cl/176579, so the use function does an actual use.

Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.  Committed
to mainline.

* go.test/test/nilptr2.go: Change use function to actually do
something.
