    cmd/compile: avoid string allocations when map key is struct or array literal · a0f57c3f
    Martin Möhrmann authored
    x = map[string(byteslice)] is already optimized by the compiler to avoid a
    string allocation. This CL generalizes this optimization to:
    
    x = map[T1{ ... Tn{..., string(byteslice), ...} ... }]
    where T1 to Tn is a nesting of struct and array literals.
    
    Found in a hot code path that used a struct of strings made from []byte
    slices to make a map lookup.
    
    There are no uses of the more generalized optimization in the standard library.
    Passes toolstash -cmp.
