There was some discussion leading up to the release about whether to merge the "SSA" branch, which seems to be a refactor that allows for easier compile time optimisations but also slows compile times for the time being.
Does anyone know if that was included in this release?
- nathany 11y agoThe SSA branch is for a future version of Go, possibly Go 1.7.
- zenlikethat 11y agoIIRC from the e-mail thread, the idea being discussed was to potentially merge the SSA branch immediately after the release (in order to have as much time as possible to test it), so I'd be surprised to find it in this release. There were concerns about the compiler slowdown but I didn't see the end result of the thread.
- dsymonds 11y agoThe SSA changes are not in Go 1.6. They're expected to be in Go 1.7.
