<h3 id="Slice_expressions">Slice expressions</h3>

<p>
Slice expressions construct a substring or slice from a string, array, pointer
to array, or slice. There are two variants: a simple form that specifies a low
and high bound, and a full form that also specifies a bound on the capacity.

<h4>Simple slice expressions</h4>

<p>
For a string, array, pointer to array, or slice <code>a</code>, the primary expression

</p>

<p>
Constants are of the form <code>const_<i>name</i></code>.
For example, given the Go declaration <code>const bufSize =
1024</code>, assembly code can refer to the value of this constant
as <code>const_bufSize</code>.
</p>

<p>
Field offsets are of the form <code><i>type</i>_<i>field</i></code>.
Struct sizes are of the form <code><i>type</i>__size</code>.

<p>
In their most general form, an interface element may also be an arbitrary type term
<code>T</code>, or a term of the form <code>~T</code> specifying the underlying type <code>T</code>,
or a union of terms <code>t<sub>1</sub>|t<sub>2</sub>|…|t<sub>n</sub></code>
