what does asm.NewBuilder("amd64", 64).Assemble() do?

what does asm.NewBuilder("amd64", 64).Assemble() do? Does it compile down to machine code? if not, how do I compile the assemble code generated by this library into machine code programatically?

This library doesn't generate assembly code, it generates machine code from series of calls like b.AddInstruction(...), where each call to AddInstruction is an assembly instruction.

asm.NewBuilder("amd64", 64).Assemble() specifically generates nothing as you did not call any methods on the builder to add instructions for it to emit.
