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.

Nomemprof seems to be unneeded now, there is no recursion.
If the recursion will be re-introduced, it will break loudly by deadlocking.

New test added in CL 14611045 causes a deadlock when
running the tests with -cpu=n,n because the fakedb
driver always waits when opening a new connection after
running TestConnectionLeak. Reset its state after.

Please note the slight rewording for append: The spec now
requires that append reuses the underlying array if it is
sufficiently large. Per majority sentiment.
This is technically a language change but the current
implementation always worked this way.

CL 10726044 introduced a race condition which causes connections
to be leaked under certain circumstances. If SetMaxOpenConns is
used, the application eventually deadlocks. Otherwise, the number
of open connections just keep growing indefinitely.

Add a check at the end of every test to make sure
there are no leaked connections after running a test.
Avoid incorrectly decrementing the number of open connections
when the driver connection ends up it a bad state (numOpen was
decremented twice).
Prevent leaking a Rows struct (which ends up leaking a
connection) in Row.Scan() when a *RawBytes destination is
improperly used.
Close the Rows struct in TestRowsColumns.

The preamble may want to #define some special symbols
and then #include <sys/types.h> itself. The builtin prolog
also #includes <sys/types.h>, which would break such a
preamble (because the second #include will be a no-op).
The use of sys/types.h in the builtin prolog is new since Go 1.1,
so this should preserve the semantics of more existing cgo
code than we would otherwise.
It also fixes src/pkg/syscall/mkall.sh's use of go tool cgo -godefs
on some Linux systems.
Thanks to fullung@ for identifying the problem.
Fixes#6558.

At the moment, godoc expands the example in the link, but in
the past it has not. Add a waffle word to allow either possibility.
Also change the order of cases in the switch in Compare to
be consistent with the other switch in the function.
