In external link mode the linker explicitly adds the string
constant "runtime/cgo". It adds the string constant using the
same symbol name as the compiler, but a different format. The
compiler assumes that the string data immediately follows the
string header, but the linker puts the two in different
sections. The result is bad string data when the compiler
sees "runtime/cgo" used as a string constant.
The compiler assumption is in datastring in [568]g/gobj.c.
The linker layout is in addstrdata in ld/data.c. The compiler
assumption is valid for string literals. The linker is not
creating a string literal, so its assumption is also valid.
There are a few ways to avoid this problem. This patch fixes
it by only doing the fake import of runtime/cgo if necessary,
and by only creating the string symbol if necessary.
Fixes#7234.

NPTL uses SIGRTMIN (signal 32) to effect thread cancellation.
Go's runtime replaces NPTL's signal handler with its own, and
ends up aborting if a C library that ends up calling
pthread_cancel is used.
This patch prevents runtime from replacing NPTL's handler.
Fixes#6997.

Clang does not record the "size" field for pointer types,
so we must insert the size ourselves. We were already
doing this, but only for the case of pointer types.
For an array of pointer types, the setting of the size for
the nested pointer type was happening after the computation
of the size of the array type, meaning that the array type
was always computed as 0 bytes. Delay the size computation.
This bug happens on all Clang systems, not just FreeBSD.
Our test checked that cgo wrote something, not that it was correct.
FreeBSD's default clang rejects array[0] as a C struct field,
so it noticed the incorrect sizes. But the sizes were incorrect
everywhere.
Update testcdefs to check the output has the right semantics.
Fixes#6292.

The old approach to determining whether "name" was a type, constant,
or expression was to compile the C program
name;
and scan the errors and warnings generated by the compiler.
This requires looking for specific substrings in the errors and warnings,
which ties the implementation to specific compiler versions.
As compilers change their errors or drop warnings, cgo breaks.
This happens slowly but it does happen.
Clang in particular (now required on OS X) has a significant churn rate.
The new approach compiles a slightly more complex program
that is either valid C or not valid C depending on what kind of
thing "name" is. It uses only the presence or absence of an error
message on a particular line, not the error text itself. The program is:
// error if and only if name is undeclared
void f1(void) { typeof(name) *x; }
// error if and only if name is not a type
void f2(void) { name *x; }
// error if and only if name is not an integer constant
void f3(void) { enum { x = (name)*1 }; }
I had not been planning to do this until Go 1.3, because it is a
non-trivial change, but it fixes a real Xcode 5 problem in Go 1.2,
and the new code is easier to understand than the old code.
It should be significantly more robust.

The problem is that the cdecl() function in cmd/cgo/godefs.go isn't
properly translating the Go array type to a C array type when an
asterisk follows the [] in the array type declaration (it is perfectly
legal to put the asterisk on either side of the [] in go syntax,
depending on how you set up your pointers).
That said, the cdefs tool is only designed to translate from Go types
generated using the cgo *godefs* tool -- where the godefs tool is
designed to translate gcc-style C types into Go types. In essence, the
cdefs tool translates from gcc-style C types to Go types (via the godefs
tool), then back to kenc-style C types. Because of this, cdefs does not
need to know how to translate arbitraty Go types into C, just the ones
produced by godefs.
The problem is that during this translation process, the logic is
slightly wrong when going from (e.g.):
char *array[10];
to:
array [10]*int8;
back to:
int8 *array[10];
In the current implementation of cdecl(), the translation from the Go
type declaration back to the kenc-style declaration looks for Go
types of the form:
name *[]type;
rather than the actual generated Go type declaration of:
name []*type;
Both are valid Go syntax, with slightly different semantics, but the
latter is the only one that can ever be generated by the godefs tools.
(The semantics of the former are not directly expressible in a
single C statement -- you would have to have to first typedef the array
type, then declare a pointer to that typedef'd type in a separate
statement).
This commit changes the logic of cdecl() to look properly for, and
translate, Go type declarations of the form:
name []*type;
Additionally, the original implementation only allowed for a single
asterisk and a single sized aray (i.e. only a single level of pointer
indirection, and only one set of []) on the type, whereas the patched
version allows for an arbitrary number of both.
Tests are included in misc/cgo/testcdefs and the all.bash script has been
updated to account for these.

The static func named thread in issue5337.go's C snippet
conflicts with the static func named thread in issue3350.go's C snippet.
I don't know why (they're both static) but I also don't care,
because -linkmode=internal only needs to be able to handle
the cgo in the standard library, and it does.
