variable. The default setting is GODEBUG=cgocheck=1, which implements
reasonably cheap dynamic checks. These checks may be disabled
entirely using GODEBUG=cgocheck=0. Complete checking of pointer
handling, at some cost in run time, is available by setting
GOEXPERIMENT=cgocheck2 at build time.

It is possible to defeat this enforcement by using the unsafe package,
and of course there is nothing stopping the C code from doing anything

Specific rules apply to (non-constant) conversions between numeric types or
to and from a string type.
These conversions may change the representation of <code>x</code>
and incur a run-time cost.
All other conversions only change the type but not the representation
of <code>x</code>.

There is no linguistic mechanism to convert between pointers and integers.
