    cmd/compile: don't statically copy string-typed variables · c33d45a8
    Matthew Dempsky authored
    During package initialization, the compiler tries to optimize:
    
        var A = "foo"
        var B = A
    
    into
    
        var A = "foo"
        var B = "foo"
    
    so that we can statically initialize both A and B and skip emitting
    dynamic initialization code to assign "B = A".
    
    However, this isn't safe in the presence of cmd/link's -X flag, which
    might overwrite an initialized string-typed variable at link time. In
    particular, if cmd/link changes A's static initialization, it won't
    know it also needs to change B's static initialization.
    
    To address this, this CL disables this optimization for string-typed
    variables.
    
    Fixes #34675.
