In order to generate accurate tracebacks, the runtime needs to know the inlined call stack for a given PC. This creates two tables per function for this purpose. The first table is the inlining tree (stored in the function's funcdata), which has a node containing the file, line, and function name for every inlined call. The second table is a PC-value table that maps each PC to a node in the inlining tree (or -1 if the PC is not the result of inlining). To give the appearance that inlining hasn't happened, the runtime also needs the original source position information of inlined AST nodes. Previously the compiler plastered over the line numbers of inlined AST nodes with the line number of the call. This meant that the PC-line table mapped each PC to line number of the outermost call in its inlined call stack, with no way to access the innermost line number. Now the compiler retains line numbers of inlined AST nodes and writes the innermost source position information to the PC-line and PC-file tables. Some tools and tests expect to see outermost line numbers, so we provide the OutermostLine function for displaying line info. To keep track of the inlined call stack for an AST node, we extend the src.PosBase type with an index into a global inlining tree. Every time the compiler inlines a call, it creates a node in the global inlining tree for the call, and writes its index to the PosBase of every inlined AST node. The parent of this node is the inlining tree index of the call. -1 signifies no parent. For each function, the compiler creates a local inlining tree and a PC-value table mapping each PC to an index in the local tree. These are written to an object file, which is read by the linker. The linker re-encodes these tables compactly by deduplicating function names and file names. This change increases the size of binaries by 4-5%. For example, this is how the go1 benchmark binary is impacted by this change: section old bytes new bytes delta .text 3.49M ± 0% 3.49M ± 0% +0.06% .rodata 1.12M ± 0% 1.21M ± 0% +8.21% .gopclntab 1.50M ± 0% 1.68M ± 0% +11.89% .debug_line 338k ± 0% 435k ± 0% +28.78% Total 9.21M ± 0% 9.58M ± 0% +4.01% Updates #19348.
