There were a few cases left where a named type would cause a crash in
the compiler. While going through enough code would have found them
eventually, I specifically looked for the `Type().(` pattern: a Type()
call that is then used in a type assert. Most of those were indeed bugs,
although for some I couldn't come up with a reproducer so I left them
as-is.

Previously, a blocking select on a nil channel would result in a nil panic inside the channel runtime code.
This change fixes the nil checks so that the select works as intended.
|
|
This patch is a combination of two related changes:
1. The compiler now allows other types than `int` when specifying the
size of a channel in a make(chan ..., size) call.
2. The compiler now checks for maximum allowed channel sizes. Such
checks are trivially optimized out in the vast majority of cases as
channel sizes are usually constant.
I discovered this issue when trying out channels on AVR.

core: major improvements to blocking, including support for buffered channels.

This scheduler is intended to live along the (stackless) coroutine based
scheduler which is needed for WebAssembly and unsupported platforms. The
stack based scheduler is somewhat simpler in implementation as it does
not require full program transform passes and supports things like
function pointers and interface methods out of the box with no changes.
Code size is reduced in most cases, even in the case where no scheduler
scheduler is used at all. I'm not exactly sure why but these changes
likely allowed some further optimizations somewhere. Even RAM is
slightly reduced, perhaps some global was elminated in the process as
well.

Blocking selects are much more complicated, so let's do non-blocking
ones first.
|

Instead of storing the value to send/receive in the coroutine promise,
store only a pointer in the promise. This simplifies the code a lot and
allows larger value sizes to be sent across a channel.
Unfortunately, this new system has a code size impact. For example,
compiling testdata/channel.go for the BBC micro:bit, there is an
increase in code size from 4776 bytes to 4856 bytes. However, the
improved flexibility and simplicity of the code should be worth it. If
this becomes an issue, we can always refactor the code at a later time.

Implement two trivial uses of the select statement.
Always blocking:
select {}
No-op:
select {
default:
}
Go 1.12 added a `select {}` instruction to syscall/js, so this is needed
for Go 1.12 support. More complete support for select will be added in
the future.

Support for channels is not complete. The following pieces are missing:
* Channels with values bigger than int. An int in TinyGo can always
contain at least a pointer, so pointers are okay to send.
* Buffered channels.
* The select statement.
