      math: avoid assumption of denormalized math mode in Sincos · 4a8cb4a4
      Russ Cox authored
      The extra-clever code in Sincos is trying to do
      
              if v&2 == 0 {
                      mask = 0xffffffffffffffff
              } else {
                      mask = 0
              }
      
      It does this by turning v&2 into a float64 X0 and then using
      
              MOVSD $0.0, X3
              CMPSD X0, X3, 0
      
      That CMPSD is defined to behave like:
      
              if X0 == X3 {
                      X3 = 0xffffffffffffffff
              } else {
                      X3 = 0
              }
      
      which gives the desired mask in X3. The goal in using the
      CMPSD was to avoid a conditional branch.
      
      This code fails when called from a PortAudio callback.
      In particular, the failure behavior is exactly as if the
      CMPSD always chose the 'true' execution.
      
      Notice that the comparison X0 == X3 is comparing as
      floating point values the 64-bit pattern v&2 and the actual
      floating point value zero. The only possible values for v&2
      are 0x0000000000000000 (floating point zero)
      and 0x0000000000000002 (floating point 1e-323, a denormal).
      If they are both comparing equal to zero, I conclude that
      in a PortAudio callback (whatever that means), the processor
      is running in "denormals are zero" mode.
      
      I confirmed this by placing the processor into that mode
      and running the test case in the bug; it produces the
      incorrect output reported in the bug.
      
      In general, if a Go program changes the floating point math
      modes to something other than what Go expects, the math
      library is not going to work exactly as intended, so we might
      be justified in not fixing this at all.
      
      However, it seems reasonable that the client code might
      have expected "denormals are zero" mode to only affect
      actual processing of denormals. This code has produced
      what is in effect a gratuitous denormal by being extra clever.
      There is nothing about the computation being requested
      that fundamentally requires a denormal.
      
      It is also easy to do this computation in integer math instead:
      
              mask = ((v&2)>>1)-1
      
      Do that.
      
      For the record, the other math tests that fail if you put the
      processor in "denormals are zero" mode are the tests for
      Frexp, Ilogb, Ldexp, Logb, Log2, and FloatMinMax, but all
      fail processing denormal inputs. Sincos was the only function
      for which that mode causes incorrect behavior on non-denormal inputs.
      
      The existing tests check that the new assembly is correct.
      There is no test for behavior in "denormals are zero" mode,
      because I don't want to add assembly to change that.
      
      Fixes #8623.

      cmd/go: always build _test.go files and link into test · 754cd541
      Russ Cox authored
      go test's handling of _test.go files when the entire
      package's set of files has no Test functions has varied
      over the past few releases. There are a few interesting
      cases (all contain no Test functions):
              (1) x_test.go has syntax errors
              (2) x_test.go has type errors
              (3) x_test.go has runtime errors (say, a func init that panics)
      
      In Go 1.1, tests with (1) or (2) failed; (3) passed.
      In Go 1.2, tests with (1) or (2) failed; (3) passed.
      In Go 1.3, tests with (1) failed; (2) or (3) passed.
      After this CL, tests with (1), (2), or (3) all fail.
      
      This is clearly a corner case, but it seems to me that
      the behavior of the test should not change if you
      add or remove a line like
      
              func TestAlwaysPasses(t *testing.T) {}
      
      That implies that the _test.go files must always
      be built and always be imported into the test binary.
      Doing so means that (1), (2), and (3) must all fail.
      
      Fixes #8337.

      cmd/yacc: fix parsing of character tokens · bfebf9ea
      Russ Cox authored
      From issue 7967 I learned:
      
      1) yacc accepts either 'x' or "x" to mean token value 0x78
      2) yacc also accepts 'xyz' and "XYZ" to mean token value 0x78
      
      Use strconv.Unquote to simplify the handling of quoted
      strings and check that each has only one rune.
      
      Although this does clean things up, it makes 'x' and "x"
      treated as different internally (now they are stored as
      `'x'` and `"x"`; before they were both ` x`). Grammars that
      use both interchangeably will now die with an error
      similar to the one from issue 7967:
      
              yacc bug -- cannot have 2 different Ts with same value
                      "+" and '+'
      
      The echoing of the quotes should make clear what is going on.
      
      The other semantic change caused by using strconv.Unquote
      is that '\"' and "\'" are no longer valid. Like in Go, they must be
      spelled without the backslash: '"' and "'".
      
      On the other hand, now yacc and Go agree about what character
      and string literals mean.

      cmd/go: fix -a · 1bf18b42
      Russ Cox authored
      The one line that you can't test easily was broken.
      This manifested as a failure of a pre-existing test
      in test.bash but I didn't notice it (there are a few other
      long-standing failures that need to be fixed).

      cmd/go: make build -a skip standard packages in Go releases · 8c3005c4
      Russ Cox authored
      Today, 'go build -a my/pkg' and 'go install -a my/pkg'
      recompile not just my/pkg and all its dependencies that
      you wrote but also the standard library packages.
      Recompiling the standard library is problematic on
      some systems because the installed copy is not writable.
      
      The -a behavior means that you can't use 'go install -a all'
      or 'go install -a my/...' to rebuild everything after a Go
      release - the rebuild stops early when it cannot overwrite
      the installed standard library.
      
      During development work, however, you do want install -a
      to rebuild everything, because anything might have changed.
      
      Resolve the conflict by making the behavior of -a depend
      on whether we are using a released copy of Go or a devel copy.
      In the release copies, -a no longer applies to the standard library.
      In the devel copies, it still does.
      
      This is the latest in a long line of refinements to the
      "do I build this or not" logic. It is surely not the last.
      
      Fixes #8290.
