Better x86 Assembly Generation from Go

Explore the world of Go assembly and learn how to create high-performance, maintainable assembly functions in this 41-minute conference talk from GopherCon 2019. Discover the role of assembly language in the Go ecosystem and gain insights into best practices for assembly development. Learn about code generation tools, particularly the avo library for x86 assembly generation, and how they can simplify the process of writing assembly functions. Understand how to use Go control structures, automatic register allocation, and handle interactions with Go types in assembly code. Through practical examples, see how these techniques can help produce efficient and maintainable high-performance functions. Gain the confidence and knowledge needed to safely write lightning-fast assembly functions for Go, while avoiding common pitfalls and potential security vulnerabilities.
