Gopls already supports navigating from Go source to assembly files (use "Go to definition" on a func declaration with no body), but it wouldn't be hard for it to support navigation within assembly files, and from assembly files to Go files. The necessary parts are:

  • a new file.Kind for Asm (see https://go.dev/cl/649461 for sketch) and go.s LanguageID.
  • a basic parser for assembly files that can extract symbol names and control labels reliably.
  • recording of parsed assembly files in cache.Package, analogous to CompiledGoFiles.
  • augmentation of the xrefs index to include cross-package references from assembly files.
  • new implementations of the Definitions and References queries for file.Asm.
  • bonus: an implementation of Hover for assembly could provide all kinds of helpful information to make reading easier.
  • bonus: DocumentHighlight could show, for a given register, its def/use chains by making them temporarily bold.
  • go.s languageID support in eglot, vscode-go, neovim.

This is obviously not a high priority, but it's a fun little project.

gopls/internal/goasm: support Definition in Go *.s assembly
f0af81c 
This CL provides a minimal implementation of the
Definition query within Go assembly files, plus a test.
For now it only works for references to package-level
symbols in the same package or a dependency.

Details:
- add file.Kind Asm and protocol.LanguageKind "go.s".
- include .s files in metadata.Graph.IDs mapping.
- set LanguageKind correctly in gopls CLI.

Also:
- add String() method to file.Handle.
- add convenient forward deps iterator to Graph.
- internal/extract: extract notes from .s files too.

Updates golang/go#71754

gopls/internal/util/asm: better assembly parsing
d81d6fc 
This CL adds a rudimentary parser for symbols in Go .s files.
It is a placeholder for a more principled implementation,
but it is sufficient to make Definition support control labels
(also in this CL) and for a cross-references index (future work).

+ test of Definition on control label
+ test of asm.Parse
