<h3 id="symbols">Symbols</h3>

<p>
Some symbols, such as <code>R1</code> or <code>LR</code>,
are predefined and refer to registers.
The exact set depends on the architecture.
</p>

<p>
There are four predeclared symbols that refer to pseudo-registers.
These are not real registers, but rather virtual registers maintained by
the toolchain, such as a frame pointer.
The set of pseudo-registers is the same for all architectures:
</p>

// not as the type of a variable.
type comparable interface{ comparable }

// iota is a predeclared identifier representing the untyped integer ordinal
// number of the current const specification in a (usually parenthesized)
// const declaration. It is zero-indexed.
const iota = 0 // Untyped int.

// nil is a predeclared identifier representing the zero value for a
// pointer, channel, func, interface, map, or slice type.
