The cast is proceeded by a bounds check. If the bounds check passes
then we know the pointer in the slice is non-nil.
... except casts to pointers of 0-sized arrays. They are strange, as
the bounds check can pass for a nil input.

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 internal/testdir
To run just tests from specified files in this directory, execute:
../bin/go test 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.
