Ayke van Laethem 0a40219680 compiler: implement comparing channel values 2019-05-14 11:18:38 +02:00
Ayke van Laethem 9a54ee4241 compiler: allow larger-than-int values to be sent across a channel
Instead of storing the value to send/receive in the coroutine promise,
store only a pointer in the promise. This simplifies the code a lot and
allows larger value sizes to be sent across a channel.

Unfortunately, this new system has a code size impact. For example,
compiling testdata/channel.go for the BBC micro:bit, there is an
increase in code size from 4776 bytes to 4856 bytes. However, the
improved flexibility and simplicity of the code should be worth it. If
this becomes an issue, we can always refactor the code at a later time.

Ayke van Laethem ad7297a539 all: implement trivial select statements
Implement two trivial uses of the select statement.

Always blocking:
    select {}

No-op:
    select {
    default:
    }

Go 1.12 added a `select {}` instruction to syscall/js, so this is needed
for Go 1.12 support. More complete support for select will be added in
the future.

Ayke van Laethem 2e4dd09bbc compiler: add support for channel operations
Support for channels is not complete. The following pieces are missing:

  * Channels with values bigger than int. An int in TinyGo can always
    contain at least a pointer, so pointers are okay to send.
  * Buffered channels.
  * The select statement.
