## What it is
c2goasm is a command-line tool that converts assembly generated by C/C++ compilers (such as GCC or Clang) into Go (Plan 9 style) assembly. It is designed to be used together with asm2plan9s to create pure Go wrappers around C/C++ functions, e.g. those using SIMD intrinsics.

## Use cases
- convert C compiler-generated assembly into Go assembly
- wrap C/C++ SIMD intrinsic functions for use in Go
- generate Go assembly wrappers for performance-critical C functions
- port individual C functions to Go assembly on a case-by-case basis
- combine with asm2plan9s to auto-generate pure Go assembly code

## When to choose
- you need to call compiler-optimized C/C++ (e.g. AVX2 SIMD) code from Go without cgo
- you want to generate Plan 9 Go assembly automatically from compiler output

## When to avoid
- you want to port an entire C/C++ project in one step
- you need a general-purpose C to Go source translator
- you are not comfortable writing accompanying Go wrapper code manually
