constant. It can do this by reading object files. If cgo has decided
that t1 is a type, v2 and v3 are variables or functions, and i4, i5
are integer constants, u6 is an unsigned integer constant, and f7 and f8
are float constants, and s9 and s10 are string constants, it generates:

	__typeof__(t1) *__cgo__1;
