    cmd/compile: when inlining ==, don’t take the address of the values · 0bc94a88

    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}
    }
