which the .s files can then <code>#include</code>.
The file contains symbolic <code>#define</code> constants for the
offsets of Go struct fields, the sizes of Go struct types, and most
Go <code>const</code> declarations defined in the current package.
Go assembly should avoid making assumptions about the layout of Go
types and instead use these constants.
This improves the readability of assembly code, and keeps it robust to
