as C.stdout, or functions such as C.putchar.

If the import of "C" is immediately preceded by a comment, that
comment, called the preamble, is used as a header when compiling
the C parts of the package. For example:

	// #include <stdio.h>
	// #include <errno.h>
	import "C"

The preamble may contain any C code, including function and variable

	{"[X0,X3]", "register list: expected '-' after `[X0`, found ','"},
	{"[X0,X1,X2,X3]", "register list: expected '-' after `[X0`, found ','"},
	{"$foo<ABI0>", "ABI selector only permitted when compiling runtime, reference was to \"foo\""},
}

var amd64BadOperandRuntimeTests = []badOperandTest{
	{"$foo<bletch>", "malformed ABI selector \"bletch\" in reference to \"foo\""},
}

the value in the form of a `Handle[T]`.
Two `Handle[T]` are equal if and only if the values used to produce the
handles are equal, allowing programs to deduplicate values and reduce
their memory footprint.
Comparing two `Handle[T]` values is efficient, reducing down to a simple

// A nil argument is equivalent to an empty slice.
func Equal(a, b []byte) bool {
	// Neither cmd/compile nor gccgo allocates for these string conversions.
	return string(a) == string(b)
}

// Compare returns an integer comparing two byte slices lexicographically.
// The result will be 0 if a == b, -1 if a < b, and +1 if a > b.
// A nil argument is equivalent to an empty slice.

	return bytealg.Compare(a, b)
