pre-#defined macros. This is certainly possible to do, but it is an
enormous amount of work.

Cgo takes a different approach. It determines the meaning of C
identifiers not by parsing C code but by feeding carefully constructed
programs into the system C compiler and interpreting the generated
error messages, debug information, and object files. In practice,
parsing these is significantly less work and more robust than parsing
C source.

// not a value, and the value returned is a pointer to a newly
// allocated zero value of that type.
func new(Type) *Type

// The complex built-in function constructs a complex value from two
// floating-point values. The real and imaginary parts must be of the same
// size, either float32 or float64 (or assignable to them), and the return

	// limit (8KB), we stop growing the source string once the limit
	// is reached and keep reusing the same source string - that
	// should therefore be always resident in the L1 cache - until we
	// have completed the construction of the result.
	// This yields significant speedups (up to +100%) in cases where
	// the result length is large (roughly, over L2 cache size).
	const chunkLimit = 8 * 1024
	chunkMax := n
	if chunkMax > chunkLimit {

That execution must be consistent with the <i>sequenced before</i> relation,
defined as the partial order requirements set out by the <a href="/ref/spec">Go language specification</a>
for Go's control flow constructs as well as the <a href="/ref/spec#Order_of_evaluation">order of evaluation for expressions</a>.

A Go <i>program execution</i> is modeled as a set of goroutine executions,

		flag = p.evalInteger("TEXT", operands[1])
		next++
	}

	// Issue an error if we see a function defined as ABIInternal
	// without NOSPLIT. In ABIInternal, obj needs to know the function
	// signature in order to construct the morestack path, so this
	// currently isn't supported for asm functions.
	if nameAddr.Sym.ABI() == obj.ABIInternal && flag&obj.NOSPLIT == 0 {
		p.errorf("TEXT %q: ABIInternal requires NOSPLIT", name)
	}
