For incomplete struct S, C.T and C.struct_S were interchangeable in Go 1.2
and earlier, because all incomplete types were interchangeable
(even C.struct_S1 and C.struct_S2).
CL 76450043, which fixed issue 7409, made different incomplete types
different from Go's point of view, so that they were no longer completely
interchangeable.
However, imprecision about C.T and C.struct_S - really the same
underlying C type - is the one behavior enabled by the bug that
is most likely to be depended on by existing cgo code.
Explicitly allow it, to keep that code working.

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.

Cgo writes C function declarations pretending every arg is a pointer.
If the C function is deferred, it does not inhibit stack copying on split.
The stack copying code believes the C declaration, possibly misinterpreting
integers as pointers.
Probably the right fix for Go 1.3 is to make deferred C functions inhibit
stack copying.
For Go 1.4 and beyond we probably need to make cgo generate Go code
for 6g here, not C code for 6c.

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.

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.

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.

This CL was written by rsc. I just tweaked 8l.
This CL adds TLS relocation to the ELF .o file we write during external linking,
so that the host linker (gcc) can decide the final location of m and g.
Similar relocations are not necessary on OS X because we use an alternate
program start-time mechanism to acquire thread-local storage.
Similar relocations are not necessary on ARM or Plan 9 or Windows
because external linking mode is not yet supported on those systems.
On almost all ELF systems, the references we use are like %fs:-0x4 or %gs:-0x4,
which we write in 6a/8a as -0x4(FS) or -0x4(GS). On Linux/ELF, however,
Xen's lack of support for this mode forced us long ago to use a two-instruction
sequence: first we load %gs:0x0 into a register r, and then we use -0x4(r).
(The ELF program loader arranges that %gs:0x0 contains a regular pointer to
that same memory location.) In order to relocate those -0x4(r) references,
the linker must know where they are. This CL adds the equivalent notation
-0x4(r)(GS*1) for this purpose: it assembles to the same encoding as -0x4(r)
but the (GS*1) indicates to the linker that this is one of those thread-local
references that needs relocation.
Thanks to Elias Naur for reminding me about this missing piece and
also for writing the test.
