High-level Golang x86 assembly generator. Inspired by [PeachPy](https://github.com/Maratyszcza/PeachPy). <p align="center">High-level Golang x86 Assembly Generator</p>
_Warning: `avo` is experimental. APIs are subject to change._ `avo` aims to make high-performance Go assembly easier to write, review and maintain. It's a Go package that presents a familiar assembly-like interface, together with features to simplify development without sacrificing performance:
* `avo` programs _are_ Go programs: use **control structures** for assembly generation
* **Register allocation**: write your kernels with **virtual registers** and `avo` assigns physical registers for you
* Automatic **parameter load/stores**: ensure memory offsets are always correct even for complex data structures
* Generation of **stub files** to interface with your Go package
Inspired by the [PeachPy](https://github.com/Maratyszcza/PeachPy) and [asmjit](https://github.com/asmjit/asmjit) projects.
_Note: `avo` is still in an experimental phase. APIs subject to change._
