I committed a patch to libgo to update the library to the first release candidate of the upcoming Go 1.8 release. This is a big update, mostly a straight copy of the code in the master Go library.
I made the following changes to the Go frontend to correspond to changes in the runtime library: * Change map assignment to use mapassign and assign value directly. * Change string iteration to use decoderune, faster for ASCII strings. * Change makeslice to take int, and use makeslice64 for larger values. * Add new noverflow field to hmap struct used for maps. There are two known problems that I simply commented out of test code until they can be fixed: * Commented out test in go/types/sizes_test.go that doesn't compile. * Commented out reflect.TestStructOf test for padding after zero-sized field. As usual with these sorts of updates the patch is too large to send to the mailing list. I've appended the changes to the gccgo-specific parts of the code. Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. I would not be terribly surprised if this breaks Solaris. I'll try to check that out shortly. Ian gotools/ChangeLog: 2017-01-13 Ian Lance Taylor <i...@golang.org> Updates for Go 1.8rc1. * Makefile.am (go_cmd_go_files): Add bug.go. (s-zdefaultcc): Write defaultPkgConfig.
