Instead of generating an equality function for each type that
needs it, generate one per "signature". A "signature" is a
summary of the comparisons needed to check a type for equality.
For instance, the type
type S struct {
i int32
j uint32
s string
e error
}
Will have the signature "M8SI".
M8 = 8 bytes of regular memory
S = string
I = nonempty interface
This way, potentially many types that have the same signature
can share the same equality function.
The number of generated equality functions in the go binary
is reduced from 634 to 286. The go binary is ~1% smaller.
The generation of equality functions gets simpler (particularly, how
we do inlining of sub-types, unrolling, etc.) and the generated code
is probably a bit more efficient.
The new function names are kind of weird, but will seldom show up
for users. They will appear in cpu profiles, and in tracebacks in the
situation where comparisons panic because an interface somewhere in
the type being compared contains an uncomparable type (e.g. a slice).
Note that this CL only affects generated comparison functions. It does
not generally affect generated code for == (except when that code decides
to call a comparison function as a subtask). Maybe a TODO for the future.
