Russ Cox 4224d81fae cmd/internal/gc: inline x := y.(*T) and x, ok := y.(*T)
These can be implemented with just a compare and a move instruction.
Do so, avoiding the overhead of a call into the runtime.

These assertions are a significant cost in Go code that uses interface{}
as a safe alternative to C's void* (or unsafe.Pointer), such as the
current version of the Go compiler.

*T here includes pointer to T but also any Go type represented as
a single pointer (chan, func, map). It does not include [1]*T or struct{*int}.
That requires more work in other parts of the compiler; there is a TODO.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
