Alexander Musman 16a6b71f18 cmd/compile: improve store-to-load forwarding with compatible types
Improve the compiler's store-to-load forwarding optimization by relaxing the
type comparison condition. Instead of requiring exact type equality (CMPeq),
we now use copyCompatibleType which allows forwarding between compatible
types where safe.

Fix several size comparison bugs in the nested store patterns. Previously,
we were comparing the size of the outer store with the load type,
rather than comparing with the size of the actual store being forwarded
from.

Skip OpConvert in dead store elimination to help get rid of dead stores such
as zeroing slices. OpConvert, like OpInlMark, doesn't really use the memory.

This optimization is particularly beneficial for code that creates slices with
computed pointers, such as the runtime's heapBitsSlice function, where
intermediate calculations were previously causing the compiler to miss
store-to-load forwarding opportunities.

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:

../bin/go test cmd/internal/testdir

To run just tests from specified files in this directory, execute:

../bin/go test cmd/internal/testdir -run='Test/(file1.go|file2.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.
