Panics don't usually happen nowadays, instead the compiler package
returns errors while compiling. If it still panics, this is usually from
within LLVM from where deferred functions are not run.
Undefined symbols will be shown by the embedder, for example when
running generated wasm files in a browser.
In the future, this should probably become a fixed list again. But for
experimenting it's easier now to just ignore undefined symbols and
expect the JS to provide them.
When doing a slice operation on a slice, use the capacity value instead
of the length. Of course, for strings and arrays, the slice operation
checks the length because there is no capacity. But according to the
spec, this check should be based on cap for slice instead of len:
> For slices, the upper index bound is the slice capacity cap(a) rather
> than the length.

Assume any external function won't let pointers live longer than the
call itself. This is true in the vast majority of cases (apparently
everywhere currently) but might not always be true.
TODO: add a //go:noescape (or maybe //go:escape) to handle this, instead
of this assumption.
It is stubbed out currently, but may be useful in the future.
Note that this function is implemented for a future change to the init
system, it is not yet useful.
The list of options passed to build/run/gdb/etc commands was getting
unwieldly and hard to add extra options to. Put all common build options
in a single build config struct so that these options are more
centralized.
A single *ssa.BasicBlock may be split in multiple LLVM basic blocks due
to typeassert instructions. This means the incoming block and outgoing
block are different. PHI nodes need to get the result from the outgoing
block, which was fixed before, but incoming branches need to branch to
the incoming block, not the outgoing block.
Branching to the outgoing block led to a LLVM verification error when
compiling the fmt package.
Originally found in (*fmt.pp).handleMethods.
This is a common operation:
freevar := ...
defer func() {
println("I am deferred:", freevar)
}()
The function is thus an immediately applied closure. Only this form is
currently supported, support for regular (fat) function pointers should
be trivial to add but is not currently implemented as it wasn't
necessary to get fmt to compile.
The Dockerfile was missing the part where we download
the dependencies into the vendor folder. It was of course
working locally because I had a vendor folder already.
A function on a type that is put in an interface must not be assumed to
not need a context pointer when it isn't directly put in a function
pointer, because the interface call side won't know this and pass an
extra parameter with that extra function pointer.
This is usually not a problem but WebAssembly has strict checks on
function signatures so this resulted in an error when running
src/examples/test/test.go.
It is allowed to index with an int64 even on a 32-bit platform, so we
have to handle that case. But make sure the normal case isn't penalized
by using 32-bit numbers when possible.
