This CL reworks walkcompare for clarity and concision. It also makes one significant functional change. (The functional change is hard to separate cleanly from the cleanup, so I just did them together.) When inlining and unrolling an equality comparison for a small struct or array, compare the elements like: a[0] == b[0] && a[1] == b[1] rather than pa := &a pb := &b pa[0] == pb[0] && pa[1] == pb[1] The result is the same, but taking the address and working through the indirect forces the backends to generate less efficient code. This is only an improvement with the SSA backend. However, every port but s390x now has a working SSA backend, and switching to the SSA backend by default everywhere is a priority for Go 1.8. It thus seems reasonable to start to prioritize SSA performance over the old backend. Updates #15303 Sample code: type T struct { a, b int8 } func g(a T) bool { return a == T{1, 2} } SSA before: "".g t=1 size=80 args=0x10 locals=0x8 0x0000 00000 (badeq.go:7) TEXT "".g(SB), $8-16 0x0000 00000 (badeq.go:7) SUBQ $8, SP 0x0004 00004 (badeq.go:7) FUNCDATA $0, gclocals·23e8278e2b69a3a75fa59b23c49ed6ad(SB) 0x0004 00004 (badeq.go:7) FUNCDATA $1, gclocals·33cdeccccebe80329f1fdbee7f5874cb(SB) 0x0004 00004 (badeq.go:8) MOVBLZX "".a+16(FP), AX 0x0009 00009 (badeq.go:8) MOVB AL, "".autotmp_0+6(SP) 0x000d 00013 (badeq.go:8) MOVBLZX "".a+17(FP), AX 0x0012 00018 (badeq.go:8) MOVB AL, "".autotmp_0+7(SP) 0x0016 00022 (badeq.go:8) MOVB $0, "".autotmp_1+4(SP) 0x001b 00027 (badeq.go:8) MOVB $1, "".autotmp_1+4(SP) 0x0020 00032 (badeq.go:8) MOVB $2, "".autotmp_1+5(SP) 0x0025 00037 (badeq.go:8) MOVBLZX "".autotmp_0+6(SP), AX 0x002a 00042 (badeq.go:8) MOVBLZX "".autotmp_1+4(SP), CX 0x002f 00047 (badeq.go:8) CMPB AL, CL 0x0031 00049 (badeq.go:8) JNE 70 0x0033 00051 (badeq.go:8) MOVBLZX "".autotmp_0+7(SP), AX 0x0038 00056 (badeq.go:8) CMPB AL, $2 0x003a 00058 (badeq.go:8) SETEQ AL 0x003d 00061 (badeq.go:8) MOVB AL, "".~r1+24(FP) 0x0041 00065 (badeq.go:8) ADDQ $8, SP 0x0045 00069 (badeq.go:8) RET 0x0046 00070 (badeq.go:8) MOVB $0, AL 0x0048 00072 (badeq.go:8) JMP 61 SSA after: "".g t=1 size=32 args=0x10 locals=0x0 0x0000 00000 (badeq.go:7) TEXT "".g(SB), $0-16 0x0000 00000 (badeq.go:7) NOP 0x0000 00000 (badeq.go:7) NOP 0x0000 00000 (badeq.go:7) FUNCDATA $0, gclocals·23e8278e2b69a3a75fa59b23c49ed6ad(SB) 0x0000 00000 (badeq.go:7) FUNCDATA $1, gclocals·33cdeccccebe80329f1fdbee7f5874cb(SB) 0x0000 00000 (badeq.go:8) MOVBLZX "".a+8(FP), AX 0x0005 00005 (badeq.go:8) CMPB AL, $1 0x0007 00007 (badeq.go:8) JNE 25 0x0009 00009 (badeq.go:8) MOVBLZX "".a+9(FP), CX 0x000e 00014 (badeq.go:8) CMPB CL, $2 0x0011 00017 (badeq.go:8) SETEQ AL 0x0014 00020 (badeq.go:8) MOVB AL, "".~r1+16(FP) 0x0018 00024 (badeq.go:8) RET 0x0019 00025 (badeq.go:8) MOVB $0, AL 0x001b 00027 (badeq.go:8) JMP 20 Change-Id: I120185d58012b7bbcdb1ec01225b5b08d0855d86 Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/22277 Run-TryBot: Josh Bleecher Snyder <josharian@gmail.com> TryBot-Result: Gobot Gobot <gobot@golang.org> Reviewed-by: Matthew Dempsky <mdempsky@google.com>
