      cmd/compile: change ODOT and friends to use Sym, not Right · 5f525ca6
      Ian Lance Taylor authored
      The Node type ODOT and its variants all represent a selector, with a
      simple name to the right of the dot.  Before this change this was
      represented by using an ONAME Node in the Right field.  This ONAME node
      served no useful purpose.  This CL changes these Node types to store the
      symbol in the Sym field instead, thus not requiring allocating a Node
      for each selector.
      
      When compiling x/tools/go/types this CL eliminates nearly 5000 calls to
      newname and reduces the total number of Nodes allocated by about 6.6%.
      It seems to cut compilation time by 1 to 2 percent.
      
      Getting this right was somewhat subtle, and I added two dubious changes
      to produce the exact same output as before.  One is to ishairy in
      inl.go: the ONAME node increased the cost of ODOT and friends by 1, and
      I retained that, although really ODOT is not more expensive than any
      other node.  The other is to varexpr in walk.go: because the ONAME in
      the Right field of an ODOT has no class, varexpr would always return
      false for an ODOT, although in fact for some ODOT's it seemingly ought
      to return true; I added an && false for now.  I will send separate CLs,
      that will break toolstash -cmp, to clean these up.
      
      This CL passes toolstash -cmp.
