What did you do?

Run the following snippet : https://play.golang.org/p/hQMcxNvQ29Y

What did you expect to see?

$ go run /tmp/repro.go
Each line should display: works
1: works
2: works

Each line should display: works too
3: works too
4: works too

Works with 1.9, 1.10, 1.11 but fails since 1.12

What did you see instead?

$ go run /tmp/repro.go
Each line should display: works
1: 
2: works

Each line should display: works too
3: works
4: works too

Looks like something weird is going on with cgo.

The anonymous function created for the first C.memcpy call makes a copy of the config array, and then uses that as the destination of the copy.

func() _cgo_unsafe.Pointer{
	_cgoIndex0 := /*line :15:27*/config
	_cgo0 := /*line :15:11*/unsafe.Pointer(&_cgoIndex0[0])
	_cgo1 := func() _cgo_unsafe.Pointer{
		_cgo0 := /*line :15:48*/d
		_cgoCheckPointer(_cgo0)
		return _Cfunc_CBytes(_cgo0)
	}()
	_cgo2 := /*line :15:52*/l
	_cgoCheckPointer(_cgo0, _cgoIndex0)
	_cgoCheckPointer(_cgo1)
	return _Cfunc_memcpy(_cgo0, _cgo1, _cgo2)
}()

That doesn't look right. Go 1.11 did:

func(_cgo0 _cgo_unsafe.Pointer, _cgo1 _cgo_unsafe.Pointer, _cgo2 _Ctype_size_t) _cgo_unsafe.Pointer {
	_cgoCheckPointer(_cgo0, config)
        _cgoCheckPointer(_cgo1)
        return (_Cfunc_memcpy)(_cgo0, _cgo1, _cgo2)
}(unsafe.Pointer(&config[0]), func(_cgo0 []byte) _cgo_unsafe.Pointer {
	_cgoCheckPointer(_cgo0)
        return (_Cfunc_CBytes)(_cgo0)
}(d), l)

Which looks correct.
