    runtime: drop chan circular linked list in favor of circular buffer · 507df959
    Russ Cox authored
    The list elements are already being allocated out of a
    single memory buffer.  We can drop the Link* pointer
    following and the memory it requires, replacing it with
    index operations.
    
    The change also keeps a channel from containing a pointer
    back into its own allocation block, which would create a
    cycle.  Blocks involved in cycles are not guaranteed to be
    finalized properly, and channels depend on finalizers to
    free OS-level locks on some systems.  The self-reference
    was keeping channels from being garbage collected.
    
    runtime-gdb.py will need to be updated in order to dump
    the content of buffered channels with the new data structure.
    
    Fixes #1676.
