Archreloc had this signature: func(*Link, *sym.Reloc, *sym.Symbol, *int64) bool The last *int64 argument is used as out parameter. Passed valus could be allocated on stack, but escape analysis fails here, leading to high number of unwanted allocs. If instead 4th arg is passed by value, and modified values is returned, no problems with allocations arise: func(*Link, *sym.Reloc, *sym.Symbol, int64) (int64, bool) There are 2 benefits: 1. code becomes more readable. 2. less allocations. For linking "hello world" example from net/http: name old time/op new time/op delta Linker-4 530ms ± 2% 520ms ± 2% -1.83% (p=0.001 n=17+16) It's top 1 in alloc_objects from memprofile: flat flat% sum% cum cum% 229379 33.05% 33.05% 229379 33.05% cmd/link/internal/ld.relocsym ... list relocsym: 229379 229379 (flat, cum) 33.05% of Total 229379 229379 183: var o int64 After the patch, ~230k of int64 allocs (~ 1.75mb) removed. Passes toolshash-check (toolstash cmp).
