This is the reference manual for the Go programming language as it was for
language version 1.17, in October 2021, before the introduction of generics.
It is provided for historical interest.
The current reference manual can be found <a href="/doc/go_spec.html">here</a>.

	//	$sym±offset(SB)(reg)(index*scale)
	// Exceptions are:
	//
	//	R1
	//	offset
	//	$offset
	// Every piece is optional, so we scan left to right and what
	// we discover tells us where we are.

	// Prefix: $.
	var prefix rune
	switch tok := p.peek(); tok {
	case '$', '*':
		prefix = rune(tok)
		p.next()
	}

	// Symbol: sym±offset(SB)
	tok := p.next()
