With this change, code like h := sha1.New() h.Write(buf) sum := h.Sum() gets compiled into static calls rather than interface calls, because the compiler is able to prove that 'h' is really a *sha1.digest. The InterCall re-write rule hits a few dozen times during make.bash, and hundreds of times during all.bash. The most common pattern identified by the compiler is a constructor like func New() Interface { return &impl{...} } where the constructor gets inlined into the caller, and the result is used immediately. Examples include {sha1,md5,crc32,crc64,...}.New, base64.NewEncoder, base64.NewDecoder, errors.New, net.Pipe, and so on. Some existing benchmarks that change on darwin/amd64: Crc64/ISO4KB-8 2.67µs ± 1% 2.66µs ± 0% -0.36% (p=0.015 n=10+10) Crc64/ISO1KB-8 694ns ± 0% 690ns ± 1% -0.59% (p=0.001 n=10+10) Adler32KB-8 473ns ± 1% 471ns ± 0% -0.39% (p=0.010 n=10+9) On architectures like amd64, the reduction in code size appears to contribute more to benchmark improvements than just removing the indirect call, since that branch gets predicted accurately when called in a loop.
