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

The size of any C type T is available as C.sizeof_T, as in
C.sizeof_struct_stat.

A C function may be declared in the Go file with a parameter type of
the special name _GoString_. This function may be called with an

There are no runtime metrics for this change,
This setting may be removed in a future release, Go 1.27 at the earliest.

Go 1.23 changed the mode bits reported by [`os.Lstat`](/pkg/os#Lstat) and [`os.Stat`](/pkg/os#Stat)
for reparse points, which can be controlled with the `winsymlink` setting.
As of Go 1.23 (`winsymlink=1`), mount points no longer have [`os.ModeSymlink`](/pkg/os#ModeSymlink)
