+// The XXX lines assemble on Go 1.4, 1.5 and 1.7, but not 1.6, due to a
+// Go toolchain regression. See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/15426 and

-// This is https://github.com/golang/snappy/issues/29
+// As a workaround, the package was built with a known good assembler, and
+// those instructions were disassembled by "objdump -d" to yield the
+// 4e 0f b7 7c 5c 78 movzwq 0x78(%rsp,%r11,2),%r15
+// style comments, in AT&T asm syntax. Note that rsp here is a physical
+// register, not Go/asm's SP pseudo-register (see https://golang.org/doc/asm).
+// The instructions were then encoded as "BYTE $0x.." sequences, which assemble
+// fine on Go 1.6.
// The asm code generally follows the pure Go code in encode_other.go, except
// where marked with a "!!!".
