    cmd/compile: do not use "oaslit" for global · 160914e3
    Cherry Zhang authored
    The compiler did not emit write barrier for assigning global with
    struct literal, like global = T{} where T contains pointer.
    
    The relevant code path is:
    walkexpr OAS var_ OSTRUCTLIT
        oaslit
            anylit OSTRUCTLIT
                walkexpr OAS var_ nil
                return without adding write barrier
        return true
    break (without adding write barrier)
    
    This CL makes oaslit not apply to globals. See also CL
    https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/36355/ for an alternative
    fix.
    
    The downside of this is that it generates static data for zeroing
    struct now. Also this only covers global. If there is any lurking
    bug with implicit zeroing other than globals, this doesn't fix.
    
    Fixes #18956.
