parsing these is significantly less work and more robust than parsing
C source.

Cgo first invokes gcc -E -dM on the preamble, in order to find out
about simple #defines for constants and the like. These are recorded
for later use.

Next, cgo needs to identify the kinds for each identifier. For the
identifiers C.foo, cgo generates this C program:

	<preamble>
	#line 1 "not-declared"

      label: "What is the URL of the page with the issue?"
    validations:
      required: true
  - type: input
    id: user-agent
    attributes:
      label: "What is your user agent?"
      description: "You can find your user agent here: https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+my+user+agent"
    validations:
      required: true
  - type: textarea
    id: screenshot
    attributes:
      label: "Screenshot"

	ast2 := parse(abspath, src, parser.SkipObjectResolution)

	f.Package = ast1.Name.Name
	f.Name = make(map[string]*Name)
	f.NamePos = make(map[*Name]token.Pos)

	// In ast1, find the import "C" line and get any extra C preamble.
	sawC := false
	for _, decl := range ast1.Decls {
		switch decl := decl.(type) {
		case *ast.GenDecl:
			for _, spec := range decl.Specs {

then fixing the bug will break that code.
New features can also have similar impacts:
enabling the HTTP/2 use by the HTTP client broke programs
connecting to servers with buggy HTTP/2 implementations.
These kinds of changes are unavoidable and
[permitted by the Go 1 compatibility rules](/doc/go1compat).
Even so, Go provides a mechanism called GODEBUG to
reduce the impact such changes have on Go developers
