    cmd/gc: emit write barriers · fcb4cabb
    Russ Cox authored
    A write *p = x that needs a write barrier (not all do)
    now turns into runtime.writebarrierptr(p, x)
    or one of the other variants.
    
    The write barrier implementations are trivial.
    The goal here is to emit the calls in the correct places
    and to incur the cost of those function calls in the Go 1.4 cycle.
    
    Performance on the Go 1 benchmark suite below.
    Remember, the goal is to slow things down (and be correct).
    
    We will look into optimizations in separate CLs, as part of
    the process of comparing Go 1.3 against tip in order to make
    sure Go 1.4 runs at least as fast as Go 1.3.
