This patch to the Go frontend and libgo by Cherry Zhang optimizes string concatenations. runtime.concatstring{2,3,4,5} are just wrappers of concatstrings. These wrappers don't provide any benefit, at least in the C calling convention we use, where passing arrays by value isn't an efficient thing. Change it to always use concatstrings.
Also, the cap field of the slice passed to concatstrings is not necessary. So change it to pass a pointer and a length directly, which is more efficient than passing a slice header by value. Bootstrapped and tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. Committed to mainline. Ian
