The obj library's flag functions are (mostly) light wrappers
around the standard library flag package. Use the flag package
directly where possible.
Most uses of the 'count'-type flags (except for -v) only check
against 0, so they can safely be replaced by bools. Only -v
and the flagfns haven't been replaced.
Debug has been turned into a slice of bools rather than ints.
There was a copy of the -v verbosity in ctxt.Debugvlog, so don't use
Debug['v'] and just use ctxt.Debugvlog.

This CL introduces the typeOff type and a lookup method of the same
name that can turn a typeOff offset into an *rtype.
In a typical Go binary (built with buildmode=exe, pie, c-archive, or
c-shared), there is one moduledata and all typeOff values are offsets
relative to firstmoduledata.types. This makes computing the pointer
cheap in typical programs.
With buildmode=shared (and one day, buildmode=plugin) there are
multiple modules whose relative offset is determined at runtime.
We identify a type in the general case by the pair of the original
*rtype that references it and its typeOff value. We determine
the module from the original pointer, and then use the typeOff from
there to compute the final *rtype.
To ensure there is only one *rtype representing each type, the
runtime initializes a typemap for each module, using any identical
type from an earlier module when resolving that offset. This means
that types computed from an offset match the type mapped by the
pointer dynamic relocations.
A series of followup CLs will replace other *rtype values with typeOff
(and name/*string with nameOff).
For types created at runtime by reflect, type offsets are treated as
global IDs and reference into a reflect offset map kept by the runtime.

scattered around the source tree. Instead consolidate the basic

Also, introduce new sys.I386, sys.AMD64, etc. names for the constants
'8', '6', etc. and replace most uses of the latter. The notable
exceptions are a couple of error messages that still refer to the old
char-based toolchain names and function reltype in cmd/link.

The type information for a method includes two variants: a func
without the receiver, and a func with the receiver as the first
parameter. The former is used as part of the dynamic interface
checks, but the latter is only returned as a type in the
reflect.Method struct.
Instead of computing it at compile time, construct it at run time
with reflect.FuncOf.

Remove method type information for pruned methods from any program

unexported methods. That would shrink cmd/go by 2% and jujud by 2.6%

In addition to reflect.Value.Call, exported methods can be invoked
by the Func value in the reflect.Method struct. This CL has the
compiler track what functions get access to a legitimate reflect.Method
struct by looking for interface calls to either of:
Method(int) reflect.Method
MethodByName(string) (reflect.Method, bool)
This is a little overly conservative. If a user implements a type
with one of these methods without using the underlying calls on
reflect.Type, the linker will assume the worst and include all
exported methods. But it's cheap.
No change to any of the binary sizes reported in cl/20483.

Today the linker keeps all methods of reachable types. This is
necessary if a program uses reflect.Value.Call. But while use of
reflection is widespread in Go for encoders and decoders, using
it to call a method is rare.
This CL looks for the use of reflect.Value.Call in a program, and
if it is absent, adopts a (reasonably conservative) method pruning
strategy as part of dead code elimination. Any method that is
directly called is kept, and any method that matches a used
interface's method signature is kept.
Whether or not a method body is kept is determined by the relocation
from its receiver's *rtype to its *rtype. A small change in the
compiler marks these relocations as R_METHOD so they can be easily
collected and manipulated by the linker.
As a bonus, this technique removes the text segment of methods that
have been inlined. Looking at the output of building cmd/objdump with
-ldflags=-v=2 shows that inlined methods like
runtime.(*traceAllocBlockPtr).ptr are removed from the program.
Relatively little work is necessary to do this. Linking two
examples, jujud and cmd/objdump show no more than +2% link time.
Binaries that do not use reflect.Call.Value drop 4 - 20% in size:
addr2line: -793KB (18%)
asm: -346KB (8%)
cgo: -490KB (10%)
compile: -564KB (4%)
dist: -736KB (17%)
fix: -404KB (12%)
link: -328KB (7%)
nm: -827KB (19%)
objdump: -712KB (16%)
pack: -327KB (14%)
yacc: -350KB (10%)
Binaries that do use reflect.Call.Value see a modest size decrease
of 2 - 6% thanks to pruning of unexported methods:
api: -151KB (3%)
cover: -222KB (4%)
doc: -106KB (2.5%)
pprof: -314KB (3%)
trace: -357KB (4%)
vet: -187KB (2.7%)
jujud: -4.4MB (5.8%)
cmd/go: -384KB (3.4%)
The trivial Hello example program goes from 2MB to 1.68MB:
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Println("Hello, 世界")
}
Method pruning also helps when building small binaries with
"-ldflags=-s -w". The above program goes from 1.43MB to 1.2MB.
Unfortunately the linker can only tell if reflect.Value.Call has been
statically linked, not if it is dynamically used. And while use is
rare, it is linked into a very common standard library package,
text/template. The result is programs like cmd/go, which don't use
reflect.Value.Call, see limited benefit from this CL. If binary size
is important enough it may be possible to address this in future work.
