Compiler errors now show the exact line and line byte offset (sometimes
called "column") of where an error occured. For `go tool compile x.go`:
package p
const c int = false
//line foo.go:123
type t intg
reports
x.go:2:7: cannot convert false to type int
foo.go:123[x.go:4:8]: undefined: intg
(Some errors use the "wrong" position for the error message; arguably
the byte offset for the first error should be 15, the position of 'false',
rathen than 7, the position of 'c'. But that is an indepedent issue.)
The byte offset (column) values are measured in bytes; they start at 1,
matching the convention used by editors and IDEs.
Positions modified by //line directives show the line offset only for the
actual source location (in square brackets), not for the "virtual" file and
line number because that code is likely generated and the //line directive
only provides line information.
Because the new format might break existing tools or scripts, printing
of line offsets can be disabled with the new compiler flag -C. We plan
to remove this flag eventually.
Fixes#10324.

The pointer checking code needs to know the exact type of the parameter
expected by the C function, so that it can use a type assertion to
convert the empty interface returned by cgoCheckPointer to the correct
type. Previously this was done by using a type conversion, but that
meant that the code accepted arguments that were convertible to the
parameter type, rather than arguments that were assignable as in a
normal function call. In other words, some code that should not have
passed type checking was accepted.
This CL changes cgo to always use a function literal for pointer
checking. Now the argument is passed to the function literal, which has
the correct argument type, so type checking is performed just as for a
function call as it should be.
Since we now always use a function literal, simplify the checking code
to run as a statement by itself. It now no longer needs to return a
value, and we no longer need a type assertion.
This does have the cost of introducing another function call into any
call to a C function that requires pointer checking, but the cost of the
additional call should be minimal compared to the cost of pointer
checking.
Fixes#16591.

When cgo writes a _cgoCheckPointerN function to handle unsafe.Pointer,
use the function's argument type rather than interface{}. This permits
type errors to be detected at build time rather than run time.

This implements part of the proposal in issue 12416 by adding dynamic
checks for passing pointers from Go to C. This code is intended to be
on at all times. It does not try to catch every case. It does not
implement checks on calling Go functions from C.
The new cgo checks may be disabled using GODEBUG=cgocheck=0.
