<p>
The predeclared type <code>error</code> is defined as
</p>

<pre>

	Error() string
}
</pre>

For instance, a function to read data from a file might be defined:
</p>

<pre>

</p>

<p>

a struct with a <code>_size</code> field), <code>#include
"go_asm.h"</code> will fail with a "redefinition of macro" error.
