It would be nice if the compiler optimized dynamic function calls into static ones when the callee is known. This would save ~2ns/call for calls to functions with no free variables, and ~3ns/call for functions that need a closure.

As of CL 65071 the compiler can inline f inside B
As of CL 72490 the compiler can inline f inside C

The more general problem of turning dynamic calls into static ones is still open though and will probably require some sort of copy propagation for function values. I'd like to take a stab at it at some point.

cmd/compile: inline closures with captures
c4b65fa 
When inlining a closure with captured variables, walk up the
param chain to find the one that is defined inside the scope
into which the function is being inlined, and map occurrences
of the captures to temporary inlvars, similarly to what is
done for function parameters.

No noticeable impact on compilation speed and binary size.

As of tip (go version devel +e96c4ace9c Mon Mar 18 10:50:57 2019 +0530 linux/amd64), the times are now -

name time/op
A-4 14.9ns ± 1%
B-4 16.5ns ± 1%
C-4 16.6ns ± 0%

So the differences are closing in. B-A is 1.6ns, C-A is 1.7ns

All of A, B, C now generate basically identical code.

A gets inlined into BenchmarkA, whereas B and C do not get inlined into BenchmarkB and BenchmarkC, respectively (I think we don't inline functions with closures in them). That makes BenchmarkA a bit faster, but that's not really what this issue is about.

But I'm calling this fixed. We do convert dynamic to static calls. If there are specific instances where this is not happening, we should probably use a new bug.
