    cmd/compile: separate data and function LSyms · a2e79571
    Austin Clements authored
    Currently, obj.Ctxt's symbol table does not distinguish between ABI0
    and ABIInternal symbols. This is *almost* okay, since a given symbol
    name in the final object file is only going to belong to one ABI or
    the other, but it requires that the compiler mark a Sym as being a
    function symbol before it retrieves its LSym. If it retrieves the LSym
    first, that LSym will be created as ABI0, and later marking the Sym as
    a function symbol won't change the LSym's ABI.
    
    Marking a Sym as a function symbol before looking up its LSym sounds
    easy, except Syms have a dual purpose: they are used just as interned
    strings (every function, variable, parameter, etc with the same
    textual name shares a Sym), and *also* to store state for whatever
    package global has that name. As a result, it's easy to slip up and
    look up an LSym when a Sym is serving as the name of a local variable,
    and then later mark it as a function when it's serving as the global
    with the name.
    
    In general, we were careful to avoid this, but #29610 demonstrates one
    case where we messed up. Because of on-demand importing from indexed
    export data, it's possible to compile a method wrapper for a type
    imported from another package before importing an init function from
    that package. If the argument of the method is named "init", the
    "init" LSym will be created as a data symbol when compiling the
    wrapper, before it gets marked as a function symbol.
    
    To fix this, we separate obj.Ctxt's symbol tables for ABI0 and
    ABIInternal symbols. This way, the compiler will simply get a
    different LSym once the Sym takes on its package-global meaning as a
    function.
    
    This fixes the above ordering issue, and means we no longer need to go
    out of our way to create the "init" function early and mark it as a
    function symbol.
    
    Fixes #29610.
    Updates #27539.
