CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, FFLAGS and LDFLAGS may be defined with pseudo
#cgo directives within these comments to tweak the behavior of the C, C++
or Fortran compiler. Values defined in multiple directives are concatenated
together. The directive can include a list of build constraints limiting its
effect to systems satisfying one of the constraints
(see https://golang.org/pkg/go/build/#hdr-Build_Constraints for details about the constraint syntax).
For example:

		File: []ZipTestFile{
			{
				Name:    "世界",
				Content: []byte{},
				Mode:    0644,
				// Name is valid UTF-8, but format does not have UTF-8 flag set.
				// We don't do UTF-8 detection for multi-byte runes due to
				// false-positives with other encodings (e.g., Shift-JIS).
				// Format says encoding is not UTF-8, so we trust it.
				NonUTF8:  true,

Continuing the `panicnil` example, if the module or workspace is updated
to say `go` `1.21`, the program can opt back into the old `panic(nil)`
behavior by including this directive:

	//go:debug panicnil=1

Starting in Go 1.21, the Go toolchain treats a `//go:debug` directive
with an unrecognized GODEBUG setting as an invalid program.
Programs with more than one `//go:debug` line for a given setting
are also treated as invalid.

analyzer, which flags references to symbols that are too new for the version
of Go in effect in the referring file. (The effective version is determined
by the `go` directive in the file's enclosing `go.mod` file, and
by any [`//go:build` constraints](https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/go#hdr-Build_constraints)
in the file.)
