Description

Every time I regenerate the assembly for https://github.com/dgryski/go-highway with python3, some of the labels change. This makes it difficult to isolate a small change in the source file with a small change in the output.

Research direction

Reproduce assembly generation for go-highway with python3 and compare outputs from repeated runs, focusing on the changing labels. Trace the assembly-generation entry point and determine what causes label names to vary; done means identical source produces identical labels and output across runs.
