confuse the Go garbage collector; they are sometimes not really
pointers but data structures encoded in a pointer type. All operations
on these types must happen in C. The proper constant to initialize an
empty such reference is 0, not nil.

These special cases were introduced in Go 1.10. For auto-updating code
from Go 1.9 and earlier, use the cftype or jni rewrites in the Go fix tool:

	File          []*File
	Comment       string
	decompressors map[uint16]Decompressor

	// Some JAR files are zip files with a prefix that is a bash script.
	// The baseOffset field is the start of the zip file proper.
	baseOffset int64

	// fileList is a list of files sorted by ename,
	// for use by the Open method.
	fileListOnce sync.Once
	fileList     []fileListEntry
}

			// This is wrong and leads to an output file that mangles the
			// atime and ctime fields, which are often left unused.
			//
			// In order to continue reading tar files created by former, buggy
			// versions of Go, we skeptically parse the atime and ctime fields.
			// If we are unable to parse them and the prefix field looks like
			// an ASCII string, then we fallback on the pre-Go1.8 behavior
