.TH GASM-AUDIT-INSTRUCTIONS 1 "2026-09-19" "gasm 0.33.0" "User Commands"
.SH NAME
gasm-audit-instructions \- diff the encoder against the Go toolchain, or measure a corpus
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B gasm audit\-instructions [\-\-corpus [\fIdir\fR]] [amd64|arm64|riscv64|loong64]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Compare the gasm encoder for the given architecture (default amd64)
against
.B go tool asm
and print the diff: superset encodings (gasm-only, shippable via
.BR "gasm asm \-\-format goobj" ),
known-but-unencodable names (the backlog) and go-only names (feature
gaps). The Go side is probed black-box with a battery of bare
mnemonics, so the audit tracks whatever toolchain
.B go env GOROOT
provides.
.PP
With
.BR \-\-corpus ,
the audit changes shape: it assembles every
.I .s
file under the given directory (default GOROOT/src) with the gasm
encoder only, no toolchain probing. A file whose name carries a
recognisable _arch suffix is attempted for that architecture; a file
without one is attempted for all four, exactly as a GOARCH build would
compile it. The report gives the headline number (files that assemble
for every target architecture), the per-architecture pass rates and the
most common failure reasons, which drive the encodability backlog by
frequency rather than by table order. A run over GOROOT takes under a
second.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-\-corpus [\fIdir\fR]
Assemble a corpus of .s files and report pass rates and failure
reasons.
.SH EXIT STATUS
The mnemonic-diff mode reports through its output and exits 0; a failed
probe or an unknown architecture exits non-zero.
.SH EXAMPLES
.nf
gasm audit\-instructions amd64
gasm audit\-instructions \-\-corpus
gasm audit\-instructions \-\-corpus "$(go env GOROOT)/src/crypto"
