    cmd/compile: fix nilcheck for AIX · 9fe9853a
    Clément Chigot authored
    This commit adapts compile tool to create correct nilchecks for AIX.
    
    AIX allows to load a nil pointer. Therefore, the default nilcheck
    which issues a load must be replaced by a CMP instruction followed by a
    store at 0x0 if the value is nil. The store will trigger a SIGSEGV as on
    others OS.
    
    The nilcheck algorithm must be adapted to do not remove nilcheck if it's
    only a read. Stores are detected with v.Type.IsMemory().
    
    Tests related to nilptr must be adapted to the previous changements.
    nilptr.go cannot be used as it's because the AIX address space starts at
    1<<32.
