[dev.unified] cmd/compile: start using runtime dictionaries
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This CL switches unified IR to start using runtime dictionaries,
rather than pure stenciling. In particular, for each instantiated
function `F[T]`, it now:

1. Generates a global variable `F[T]-dict` of type `[N]uintptr`, with
all of the `*runtime._type` values needed by `F[T]`.

2. Generates a function `F[T]-shaped`, with an extra
`.dict *[N]uintptr` parameter and indexing into that parameter for
derived types. (N.B., this function is not yet actually using shape
types.)

3. Changes `F[T]` to instead be a wrapper function that calls
`F[T]-shaped` passing `&F[T]-dict` as the `.dict` parameter.

This is done in one pass to make sure the overall wiring is all
working (especially, function literals and inlining).

Subsequent CLs will write more information into `F[T]-dict` and update
`F[T]-shaped` to use it instead of relying on `T`-derived information
itself. Once that's done, `F[T]-shaped` can be changed to
`F[shapify(T)]` (e.g., `F[go.shape.int]`) and deduplicated.
