    cmd/internal/obj/x86: make function prologue more predictable · f4b48de3
    Josh Bleecher Snyder authored
    Static branch prediction guesses that forward branches aren't taken.
    Since stacks are rarely grown, make the forward branch mean grow.
    
    Sample disassembly for
    
    func f() {
    	_ = [128]byte{}
    }
