The compiler did not emit write barrier for assigning global with
struct literal, like global = T{} where T contains pointer.
The relevant code path is:
walkexpr OAS var_ OSTRUCTLIT
oaslit
anylit OSTRUCTLIT
walkexpr OAS var_ nil
return without adding write barrier
return true
break (without adding write barrier)
This CL makes oaslit not apply to globals. See also CL
https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/36355/ for an alternative
fix.
The downside of this is that it generates static data for zeroing
struct now. Also this only covers global. If there is any lurking
bug with implicit zeroing other than globals, this doesn't fix.
