The cgo tool used to simply ignore C type qualifiers. To avoid problems
when a C function expected a qualifier that was not present, cgo emitted
a cast to void* around all pointer arguments. Unfortunately, that broke
code that contains both a function declaration and a macro, when the
macro required the argument to have the right type. To fix this problem,
don't ignore qualifiers. They are easy enough to handle for the limited
set of cases that matter for cgo, in which we don't care about array or
function types.
Fixes#17537.

cmd/go links mingwex and mingw32 libraries to every package it builds.
This breaks when 2 different packages call same gcc standard library
function pow. gcc linker appends pow implementation to the compiled
package, and names that function "pow". But when these 2 compiled
packages are linked together into the final executable, linker
complains, because it finds two "pow" functions with the same name.
This CL stops linking of mingwex and mingw32 during package build -
that leaves pow function reference unresolved. pow reference gets
resolved as final executable is built, by having both internal and
external linker use mingwex and mingw32 libraries.

Change the linker to use a copy of the C compiler support library,

undefined symbols referenced by host objects.
Change the dist tool to copy the support library into a new directory
tree under GOROOT/pkg/libgcc. This ensures that libgcc is available

C compiler is required when building the Go installation in the first

In order to fix issue #9401 the compiler was changed to add a padding
byte to any non-empty Go struct that ends in a zero-sized field. That
causes the Go version of such a C struct to have a different size than
the C struct, which can considerable confusion. Change cgo so that it
discards any such zero-sized fields, so that the Go and C structs are
the same size.
This is a change from previous releases, in that it used to be
possible to refer to a zero-sized trailing field (by taking its
address), and with this change it no longer is. That is unfortunate,
but something has to change. It seems better to visibly break
programs that do this rather than to silently break programs that rely
on the struct sizes being the same.
Update #9401.

During a cgo call, the stack can be copied. This copy invalidates
the pointer that cgo has into the return value area. To fix this
problem, pass the address of the location containing the stack
top value (which is in the G struct). For cgo functions which
return values, read the stktop before and after the cgo call to
compute the adjustment necessary to write the return value.

Normally, the caller to runtime.entersyscall() must not return before
calling runtime.exitsyscall(), lest g->syscallsp become a dangling
pointer. runtime.cgocallbackg() violates this constraint. To work around
this, save g->syscallsp and g->syscallpc around cgo->Go callbacks, then
restore them after calling runtime.entersyscall(), which restores the
syscall stack frame pointer saved by cgocall. This allows the GC to
correctly trace a goroutine that is currently returning from a
Go->cgo->Go chain.
This also adds a check to proc.c that panics if g->syscallsp is clearly
invalid. It is not 100% foolproof, as it will not catch a case where the
stack was popped then pushed back beyond g->syscallsp, but it does catch
the present cgo issue and makes existing tests fail without the bugfix.

If you write:
var x = 3
then the compiler arranges for x to be initialized in the linker
with an actual 3 from the data segment, rather than putting
x in the bss and emitting init-time "x = 3" assignment code.
If you write:
var y = x
var x = 3
then the compiler is clever and treats this the same as if
the code said 'y = 3': they both end up in the data segment
with no init-time assignments.
If you write
var y = x
var x int
then the compiler was treating this the same as if the
code said 'x = 0', making both x and y zero and avoiding
any init-time assignment.
This copying optimization to avoid init-time assignment of y
is incorrect if 'var x int' doesn't mean 'x = 0' but instead means
'x is initialized in C or assembly code'. The program ends up
with 'y = 0' instead of 'y = the value specified for x in that other code'.
Disable the propagation if there is no initializer for x.
This comes up in some uses of cgo, because cgo generates
Go globals that are initialized in accompanying C files.

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.
