<p>
Constant expressions are always evaluated exactly; intermediate values and the
constants themselves may require precision significantly larger than supported
by any predeclared type in the language. The following are legal declarations:
</p>

<pre>
const Huge = 1 &lt;&lt; 100         // Huge == 1267650600228229401496703205376  (untyped integer constant)

<p>
The <code>PCALIGN</code> pseudo-instruction is used to indicate that the next instruction should be aligned
to a specified boundary by padding with no-op instructions.
</p>

<p>
It is currently supported on arm64, amd64, ppc64, loong64 and riscv64.

For example, the start of the <code>MOVD</code> instruction below is aligned to 32 bytes:
<pre>
PCALIGN $32
MOVD $2, R0
</pre>
</p>

<p>
A <i>type constraint</i> is an <a href="#Interface_types">interface</a> that defines the
set of permissible type arguments for the respective type parameter and controls the
operations supported by values of that type parameter
[<a href="#Go_1.18">Go 1.18</a>].
