What did you do?

I worked on my task related to ast processing.I faced unexpected behaviour in the AST for code compiled with cgo.
I wrote some simplified test function to represent the bug.
package pg

// typedef int (*intFunc) ();
//
// char* strarg = "";
//
// int func_with_char(char* arg, void* dummy)
// {return 5;}

import "C"
import "unsafe"

var (
	checkedPointer            = []byte{1}
)

func TestSingleArgumentCast() C.int {
	retcode := C.func_with_char((*C.char)(unsafe.Pointer(&checkedPointer[0])), unsafe.Pointer(C.strarg))
	return retcode
}

What did you expect to see?

checkedPointer first symbol has 56 column.
When I set second parameter to nil the result ast is correct

func TestSingleArgumentCastOk() C.int {
   retcode := C.func_with_char((*C.char)(unsafe.Pointer(&checkedPointer[0])), nil) // position of “checkedPointer” is 56 column as in code as in ast
   return retcode
}

What did you see instead?

checkedPointer first symbol has 61 column in ast.

I’ve made a little investigation:

func TestSingleArgumentCast() C.int {
   retcode := C.func_with_char((*C.char)(unsafe.Pointer(&checkedPointer[0])), unsafe.Pointer(C.strarg))
   return retcode
}
 
func TestSingleArgumentCastOk() C.int {
   retcode := C.func_with_char((*C.char)(unsafe.Pointer(&checkedPointer[0])), nil)
   return retcode
}

Passing this snippet to cgo and comparing the result I've noticed that there is no information about the end of original type identifier in type cast expression.

 
func TestSingleArgumentCast()  /*line :21:31*/_Ctype_int /*line :21:36*/ {
   retcode := func() _Ctype_int{ var _cgo0 *_Ctype_char = /*line :22:30*/(*_Ctype_char)(unsafe.Pointer(&checkedPointer[0])); _cgo1 := /*line :22:77*/unsafe.Pointer(*_Cvar_strarg); _cgoCheckPointer(_cgo1, nil); return _Cfunc_func_with_char(_cgo0, _cgo1); }()
   return retcode
}

func TestSingleArgumentCastOk()  /*line :21:31*/_Ctype_int /*line :21:36*/ {
   retcode := ( /*line :22:13*/_Cfunc_func_with_char /*line :22:28*/)((* /*line :22:32*/_Ctype_char /*line :22:38*/)(unsafe.Pointer(&checkedPointer[0])), nil)
   return retcode
}

There should be another one “line” comment to fix the identifier position in the first case .

func TestSingleArgumentCast()  /*line :21:31*/_Ctype_int /*line :21:36*/ {
   retcode := func() _Ctype_int{ var _cgo0 *_Ctype_char = /*line :22:30*/(*_Ctype_char /*line :22:38*/)(unsafe.Pointer(&checkedPointer[0])); _cgo1 := /*line :22:77*/unsafe.Pointer(*_Cvar_strarg /*line :22:100*/); _cgoCheckPointer(_cgo1, nil); return _Cfunc_func_with_char(_cgo0, _cgo1); }()
   return retcode
}
