The Go language was changed to permit omitting &T in composite literals, as in
var v = []*S{ &S{0}, &S{1} } This can now be written as var v = []*S{ {0}, {1} } This patch implements this change in the gccgo frontend. Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. Committed to mainline. Ian
