<!-- CLs 653856, 657937, 663795, TBD 664299 -->
The compiler can now allocate the backing store for slices on the
stack in more situations, which improves performance. This change has
the potential to amplify the effects of incorrect
[unsafe.Pointer](/pkg/unsafe#Pointer) usage, see for example [issue
73199](/issue/73199). In order to track down these problems, the
[bisect tool](https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/bisect) can be
used to find the allocation causing trouble using the
`-compile=variablemake` flag. All such new stack allocations can also
be turned off using `-gcflags=all=-d=variablemakehash=n`.
