Subject: runtime: don't assume that _ = *s will panic if s is nil
X-Git-Tag: upstream/12.2.0~38611
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c016fd32fe7da1a8c97f96f7e9767e4e300b3d28;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Fgcc.git

runtime: don't assume that _ = *s will panic if s is nil

    With the gc toolchain apparently
            var s *string
            _ = *s
    is enough to panic with a nil pointer dereference. The gccgo compiler
    will simply discard the dereference, which I think is a reasonable and
    acceptable optimization. Change the tests to use an exported variable
    instead. The tests are not currently run, but they will be with a
    later patch to gotools.
