How go code is being compiled to assembler code

https://go.godbolt.org/z/31FyJ3 I was interested in comparing line 15 vs line 17 of the following code:

package main

import "fmt"

type kv struct {
	key   []byte
	value []byte
}

type sliceMap []kv

func (sm *sliceMap) Add(k, v []byte) {
	kvs := *sm
	if cap(kvs) > len(kvs) {
		kvs = kvs[:len(kvs)+1]
	} else {
		kvs = append(kvs, kv{})
	}
	kv := &kvs[len(kvs)-1]
	kv.key = append(kv.key[:0], k...)
	kv.value = append(kv.value[:0], v...)
	*sm = kvs
}

func main() {
	sm := sliceMap{}
	sm.Add([]byte("foo"), []byte("bar"))
	fmt.Println(sm)
}

package main

import "fmt"

type kv struct {

key []byte

value []byte

}

type sliceMap []kv

func (sm *sliceMap) Add(k, v []byte) {

kvs := *sm

if cap(kvs) > len(kvs) {

kvs = kvs[:len(kvs)+1]

} else {

kvs = append(kvs, kv{})

}

kv := &kvs[len(kvs)-1]

kv.key = append(kv.key[:0], k...)

kv.value = append(kv.value[:0], v...)

*sm = kvs

}

func main() {

sm := sliceMap{}

sm.Add([]byte("foo"), []byte("bar"))

fmt.Println(sm)

}
