    cmd/gc: allocate buffers for non-escaped strings on stack · e6fac081
    Dmitry Vyukov authored
    Currently we always allocate string buffers in heap.
    For example, in the following code we allocate a temp string
    just for comparison:
    
    	if string(byteSlice) == "abc" { ... }
    
    This change extends escape analysis to cover []byte->string
    conversions and string concatenation. If the result of operations
    does not escape, compiler allocates a small buffer
    on stack and passes it to slicebytetostring and concatstrings.
    Then runtime uses the buffer if the result fits into it.
    
    Size of the buffer is 32 bytes. There is no fundamental theory
    behind this number. Just an observation that on std lib
    tests/benchmarks frequency of string allocation is inversely
    proportional to string length; and there is significant number
    of allocations up to length 32.
