cmd/compile: fix pos of typenames created during SSA construction
Prior to this CL, the function's position was used.
The dottype Node's position is clearly better.
I'm not thrilled about introducing a reference to
lineno in the middle of SSA construction;
I will have to remove it later.
My immediate goal is stability and correctness of positions,
though, since that aids refactoring, so this is an improvement.
An example from package io:
func (t *multiWriter) WriteString(s string) (n int, err error) {
var p []byte // lazily initialized if/when needed
for _, w := range t.writers {
if sw, ok := w.(stringWriter); ok {
n, err = sw.WriteString(s)
The w.(stringWriter) type assertion includes loading
the address of static type data for stringWriter:
LEAQ type."".stringWriter(SB), R10
Prior to this CL, this instruction was given the line number
of the function declaration.
After this CL, this instruction is given the line number
of the type assertion itself.
