While moving expressions around to preserve the specified order of evaluation, the Go frontend was duplicating call expressions with multiple results. This had no bad effect as the second instance generated no code for the backend. But, it's pointless and wasteful. This patch by Than McIntosh fixes the problem. This fixes https://golang.org/issue/17237. Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. Committed to mainline.
