Verified Production Fix
[golang/go] x/tools/go/ssa: load-before-call ordering in return operands diverges from cmd/compile observable behavior
GH-golang/go#77938 • Mar 07, 2026
The issue arises because the SSA generation loads the state before the method call, capturing the old value. To fix this, the SSA should load the state after the method call to reflect the updated value.
### ROOT CAUSE
The SSA incorrectly loads the state before the method call, resulting in the old value being returned instead of the updated one.
### CODE FIX
Modify the SSA generation to load the state after the method call, ensuring the updated state is returned.

func f() (state, int):
0: entry P:0 S:0
t0 = new state (x) *state
t1 = &t0.v [#0] *int
*t1 = 1:int
t2 = (*state).mutate(t0, 2:int) int
t3 = *t0 state
return t3, t2
