The WebAssembly target is not yet considered stable in LLVM 7, but has
been enabled in the Debian builds so tests can run on Debian. However,
the Homebrew builds don't have it enabled which results in test
failures.
Temporarily run WebAssembly tests only on Linux to fix this. This can be
reverted after a switch to LLVM 8, which has WebAssembly enabled by
default.
The interp package does a much better job at interpretation, and is
implemented as a pass on the IR which makes it much easier to compose.
Also, the implementation works much better as it is based on LLVM IR
instead of Go SSA.
This interpreter currently complements the Go SSA level interpreter. It
may stay complementary or may be the only interpreter in the future.
This interpreter is experimental and not yet finished (there are known
bugs!) so it is disabled by default. It can be enabled by passing the
-initinterp flag.
The goal is to be able to run all initializations at compile time except
for the ones having side effects. This mostly works except perhaps for a
few edge cases.
In the future, this interpeter may be used to actually run regular Go
code, perhaps in a shell.
The list of options passed to build/run/gdb/etc commands was getting
unwieldly and hard to add extra options to. Put all common build options
in a single build config struct so that these options are more
centralized.
