Do []byte(string) conversions more efficiently when the string is a constant. Instead of calling stringtobyteslice, allocate just the space we need and encode the initialization directly. []byte("foo") rewrites to the following pseudocode: var s [3]byte // on heap or stack, depending on whether b escapes s = *(*[3]byte)(&"foo"[0]) // initialize s from the string b = s[:] which generates this assembly: 0x001d 00029 (tmp1.go:9) LEAQ type.[3]uint8(SB), AX 0x0024 00036 (tmp1.go:9) MOVQ AX, (SP) 0x0028 00040 (tmp1.go:9) CALL runtime.newobject(SB) 0x002d 00045 (tmp1.go:9) MOVQ 8(SP), AX 0x0032 00050 (tmp1.go:9) MOVBLZX go.string."foo"+2(SB), CX 0x0039 00057 (tmp1.go:9) MOVWLZX go.string."foo"(SB), DX 0x0040 00064 (tmp1.go:9) MOVW DX, (AX) 0x0043 00067 (tmp1.go:9) MOVB CL, 2(AX) // Then the slice is b = {AX, 3, 3} The generated code is still not optimal, as it still does load/store from read-only memory instead of constant stores.
