@ -87,6 +87,23 @@ by making copies of the data. In pseudo-Go definitions:
// C pointer, length to Go []byte
func C.GoBytes(unsafe.Pointer, C.int) []byte
Go functions can be exported for use by C code in the following way:
//export MyFunction
func MyFunction(arg1, arg2 int, arg3 string) int64 {...}
//export MyFunction2
func MyFunction2(arg1, arg2 int, arg3 string) (int64, C.char*) {...}
They will be available in the C code as:
extern int64 MyFunction(int arg1, int arg2, GoString arg3);
extern struct MyFunction2_return MyFunction2(int arg1, int arg2, GoString arg3);
found in _cgo_export.h generated header. Functions with multiple
return values are mapped to functions returning a struct.
Not all Go types can be mapped to C types in a useful way.
Cgo transforms the input file into four output files: two Go source
files, a C file for 6c (or 8c or 5c), and a C file for gcc.
