    reflect: keep makeFuncImpl live across makeFuncStub · 22689c44
    Austin Clements authored
    When traceback sees reflect.makeFuncStub (or reflect.methodValueCall)
    on the stack, it expects to be able to get the *reflect.makeFuncImpl
    (or *reflect.methodValue) for that call from the first outgoing
    argument slot of makeFuncStub/methodValueCall.
    
    However, currently this object isn't necessarily kept live across
    makeFuncStub. This means it may get garbage collected while in a
    reflect call and reused for something else. If we then try to
    traceback, the runtime will see a corrupted makeFuncImpl object and
    panic. This was not a problem in previous releases because we always
    kept arguments live across the whole function. This became a problem
    when we stopped doing this.
    
    Fix this by using reflect.KeepAlive to keep the
    makeFuncImpl/methodValue live across all of callReflect/callMethod,
    which in turn keeps it live as long as makeFuncStub/methodValueCall
    are on the stack.
    
    Fixes #18635.
