Adding the evconst(n) call for OANDAND and OOROR in
golang.org/cl/18262 was originally just to parallel the above iscmp
branch, but upon further inspection it seemed odd that removing it
caused test/fixedbugs/issue6671.go's
var b mybool
// ...
b = bool(true) && true // ERROR "cannot use"
to start failing (i.e., by not emitting the expected "cannot use"
error).
The problem is that evconst(n)'s settrue and setfalse paths always
reset n.Type to idealbool, even for logical operators where n.Type
should preserve the operand type. Adding the evconst(n) call for
OANDAND/OOROR inadvertantly worked around this by turning the later
evconst(n) call at line 2167 into a noop, so the "n.Type = t"
assignment at line 739 would preserve the operand type.
However, that means evconst(n) was still clobbering n.Type for ONOT,
so declarations like:
