The C type void* is represented by Go's unsafe.Pointer.
The C types __int128_t and __uint128_t are represented by [16]byte.

A few special C types which would normally be represented by a pointer
type in Go are instead represented by a uintptr.  See the Special
cases section below.

To access a struct, union, or enum type directly, prefix it with
struct_, union_, or enum_, as in C.struct_stat.
