[譯]golang 1.8工具鍊改進

golang 1.8工具鍊改進

本文是關于1.8開發周期中Go工具鍊改進的進度報告。

現在已經是11月了，golang1.8隻剩最後的幾個修改清單，剩餘的會移到1.9釋出，1.8版本于2017年2月釋出。

對于本系列的更多内容，請閱讀我上一篇關于9月份的Go 1.8工具鍊改進的文章，以及我在1.7版對Go工具鍊改進的文章。

更快編譯

自從2015年8月釋出的Go 1.5以來，編譯時間顯着長于Go 1.4。 解決這種緩慢的工作開始于Go 1.7，并且仍在進行。

Robert Griesemer和Matthew Dempsky緻力于重寫一個更快的解析器，并删除了許多從以前版本遺留的基于yacc的解析器繼承的包級别的變量。 這個解析器産生一個新的抽象文法樹，而編譯器的其餘部分需先前的yacc文法樹。 對于1.8，新的解析器必須将其輸出轉換為先前的文法樹，以供編譯器的其餘部分使用。 即使使用這個額外的轉換步驟，新的解析器也不比以前的版本慢，并且計劃在Go 1.9中删除這個轉換過程。

Compile time for full build relative to Go 1.4.3

Go 1.8的目标是比1.7平均減少15%的編譯時間。 與兩個月前報告的3-5％的改進相比，還需要作出更多努力。

注意：jujud，kube-controller-manager和gogs的基準腳本線上。 請自己嘗試并報告您的發現。

代碼生成提速

go1.7周期的主要特點是64位Intel的新SSA後端。 在Go 1.8中，SSA後端已經推廣到Go支援的所有其他架構，并且舊的後端代碼已被删除。

amd64憑借是最受歡迎的生産架構，一直是新特性最快支援的。 正如我在幾個月前報道的，比較Go 1.8和Go 1.7在英特爾架構上的結果顯示，代碼生成，轉義分析和對std庫的優化有很大改進。

隻是重新編譯代碼就能有相當大的改進。

Defer and cgo的提升

如果，在go1.8，根據一些基準測試顯示，Austin将使用延遲的開銷減少了一半。

即使defer是否可用于熱代碼路徑的問題依然沒有完全解決，但是根據一些基準測試，在go1.8 Austin(開發者)将使用延遲的開銷減少了一半。

runtime包基準測試結果不太好。

name         old time/op  new time/op  delta
Defer-4       101ns ± 1%    66ns ± 0%  -34.73%  (p=0.000 n=20+20)

在最常見的情況下，defer提高了三分之一性能，其中語句關閉不超過一個單一的變量。

此外，David Crawshaw的一項優化降低了cgo代碼路徑近一半的開銷。
