Better x86 Assembly Generation with Go
summary
Claim: generating Go assembly with a Go program makes libs smaller, safer, and reviewable. Uses AO to emit plan-like assembly, with a built-in register allocator, automatic stack and stub generation, and one function per x86 opcode. Demonstrated a sha1 implementation that drops roughly 1500→100 lines of unrolled asm into readable generator code and is used to produce working stdlib crypto primitives with fewer manual bugs.
