Description
This PR implements unbuffered channel support for the Go ECE. For an unbuffered channel, the sender blocks until the receiver has received the value (https://go.dev/doc/effective_go#channels).
Implementation Details
An unbuffered channel in the Go ECE is represented using 2 words (
2*8 = 16
bytes) including the tagged pointer2^16
goroutines in totalUnbufferedChannel
implementation (i've left a bunch of comments to explain the behaviour)Unlike the actual implementation of channels in go (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yIAYmbvL3JxOKOjuCyon7JhW4cSv1wy5hC0ApeGMV9s/pub) that relies on mutexes, I opted to model channels as its own independent construct. This means that the unbuffered channel itself is responsible for signalling/blocking goroutines.
