What did you do?

Tried to access internal contants in the cpu package with synax like

MOVB internal\cpu·S390X·HasVE1(SB), R7

but the just gives me synax errors like:

expected '(', found \

I believe this works in amd64 assembly

What did you expect to see?

correct assembly

What did you see instead?

synax error

There are 3 usual pitfalls with these asm statements accessing fields in a variable in another package:
Have you tried "internal∕cpu·S390X+constant" where '∕' should be a unicode '∕' (U+2215) easily mistaken on some terminals with ASCII '/', using a '+' before the constant offset to the field in the variable and the constant offset has to be defined in the package the asm file is in not in internal/cpu?

e.g. offsets used in internal/bytealg assembly for amd64 are defined in:
bytealg.go: offsetX86HasAVX2 = unsafe.Offsetof(cpu.X86.HasAVX2)

Thanks for the tips :-) Another thing I found is that I seem to need to include go_asm.h, otherwise the whole constant offset syntax isn't recognized. I haven't seen this documented.

Ok, I have this working now. Thanks.
