runtime: do not print runtime panic frame at top of user stack
The expected default behavior (no explicit GOTRACEBACK setting) is for the stack trace to start in user code, eliding unnecessary runtime frames that led up to the actual trace printing code. The idea was that the first line number printed was the one that crashed. For #5832 we added code to show 'panic' frames so that if code panics and then starts running defers and then we trace from there, the panic frame can help explain why the code seems to have made a call not present in the code. But that's only needed for panics between two different call frames, not the panic at the very top of the stack trace. Fix the fix to again elide the runtime code at the very top of the stack trace. Simple panic: package main func main() { var x []int println(x[1]) } Before this CL: panic: runtime error: index out of range goroutine 1 [running]: panic(0x1056980, 0x1091bf0) /Users/rsc/go/src/runtime/panic.go:531 +0x1cf main.main() /tmp/x.go:5 +0x5 After this CL: panic: runtime error: index out of range goroutine 1 [running]: main.main() /tmp/x.go:5 +0x5 Panic inside defer triggered by panic: package main func main() { var x []int defer func() { println(x[1]) }() println(x[2]) } Before this CL: panic: runtime error: index out of range panic: runtime error: index out of range goroutine 1 [running]: panic(0x1056aa0, 0x1091bf0) /Users/rsc/go/src/runtime/panic.go:531 +0x1cf main.main.func1(0x0, 0x0, 0x0) /tmp/y.go:6 +0x62 panic(0x1056aa0, 0x1091bf0) /Users/rsc/go/src/runtime/panic.go:489 +0x2cf main.main() /tmp/y.go:8 +0x59 The middle panic is important: it explains why main.main ended up calling main.main.func1 on a line that looks like a call to println. The top panic is noise. After this CL: panic: runtime error: index out of range panic: runtime error: index out of range goroutine 1 [running]: main.main.func1(0x0, 0x0, 0x0) /tmp/y.go:6 +0x62 panic(0x1056ac0, 0x1091bf0) /Users/rsc/go/src/runtime/panic.go:489 +0x2cf main.main() /tmp/y.go:8 +0x59 Fixes #17901.
