Thanks for the hints, I could finally have a look at it and found that a
uint64 value was escaping regardless of the actual function code path. I
can reproduce it with this dummy function example:
func foo(cond bool, v int) *int {
if cond {
return &v
}
return nil
}
The comp
That looks like something escaped to the heap.
If you pass the -S option to the compiler, the assembly output will have
the symbolic name of the type being allocated (at the LEAQ 2 instructions
before the call to newobject).
If you pass the -m option to the compiler, it will tell you what escaped

I think the function prolog consists of the first three assembler
