a full C parser and type checker that was also aware of any extensions
known to the system compiler (for example, all the GNU C extensions) as
well as the system-specific header locations and system-specific
pre-#defined macros. This is certainly possible to do, but it is an
enormous amount of work.

Cgo takes a different approach. It determines the meaning of C
identifiers not by parsing C code but by feeding carefully constructed

		includes:        append([]string{filepath.Dir(name)}, flags.I...),
		beginningOfLine: true,
		macros:          predefine(flags.D),
	}
}

// predefine installs the macros set by the -D flag on the command line.
func predefine(defines flags.MultiFlag) map[string]*Macro {
	macros := make(map[string]*Macro)
	for _, name := range defines {
		value := "1"
		i := strings.IndexRune(name, '=')
		if i > 0 {
