What version of Go are you using (go version)?

go version go1.10 darwin/amd64

and

go version devel +dc3a92edaa Mon Mar 26 19:42:08 2018 +0000 darwin/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes

What did you do?

Trying to compile CGO code on darwin that makes calls to C functions, it would compile correctly on go 1.9.2 but now fails to build on go 1.10

What did you expect to see?

A successful build

What did you see instead?

# command-line-arguments
./main.go:150: cannot use *_Cvar_kCFRunLoopDefaultMode (type _Ctype_CFStringRef) as type *_Ctype_struct___CFString in argument to func literal
./main.go:157: cannot use *_Cvar_kCFRunLoopDefaultMode (type _Ctype_CFStringRef) as type *_Ctype_struct___CFString in argument to func literal

More information

I understand in go 1.10 there where changes made to how CGO is handled for darwin platforms, I did update some other parts of my code to comply with the new nil variable setting (val =0 vs val = nil) but this error doesn't seem to make sense.

The function being called is CFRunLoopRemoveSource who's third parameter accepts a type of CFRunLoopMode which is just a typedef of CFStringRef.

For the third parameter I am passing kCFRunLoopDefaultMode which should comply with the type matching as it has a type of CFRunLoopMode.

To add to this, when a dummy function is specified in Go code with the name signature it compiles without a complaint.

func CFRunLoopRemoveSource(rl C.CFRunLoopRef, source C.CFRunLoopSourceRef, mode C.CFRunLoopMode)

The C signature is defined in the CoreFoundation library in this file https://opensource.apple.com/source/CF/CF-744/CFRunLoop.h on line 81

@randall77 Would be nice to fix this for 1.11 if possible. I hope that you have more state on this stuff than I do.
