For some reason I am getting a build error using cgo with GLEW, I am running linux 64
bit version and 

go version devel +811f060da18a Thu Mar 28 15:04:25 2013 -0700 linux/amd64

with GCC 4.8

I get build errors such as these when trying to install GLEW

# gl
In file included from buffer.go:4:0:
gl.h:4:25: error: enumerator value for '__cgo_enum__8' is not an integer constant
 #define GLEW_GET_FUN(x) (*x)
                         ^
/usr/include/GL/glew.h:1685:22: note: in expansion of macro 'GLEW_GET_FUN'
 #define glGenBuffers GLEW_GET_FUN(__glewGenBuffers)
                      ^
gl.h:4:25: error: enumerator value for '__cgo_enum__9' is not an integer constant
 #define GLEW_GET_FUN(x) (*x)
                         ^
/usr/include/GL/glew.h:1679:22: note: in expansion of macro 'GLEW_GET_FUN'
 #define glBindBuffer GLEW_GET_FUN(__glewBindBuffer)
                      ^
gl.h:4:25: error: enumerator value for '__cgo_enum__10' is not an integer constant
 #define GLEW_GET_FUN(x) (*x)
                         ^
the errors continue from here but they are mostly the same. 

The GLEW header file does 
#define GLEW_GET_FUN(x) (x)
but it needed 
#define GLEW_GET_FUN(x) (*x)
to compile properly when cgo was still working, or else one would get the error:
  could not determine kind of name for C.glDeleteBuffers
and so on.

I have attached my GL bindings to test with glew.

Comment 1:

Did it work when using GCC 4.7 ?

Comment 2 by qeed.quan:

I don't have GCC 4.7 to test, but I assume yes. I tested it today with clang (CC=clang
go install gl) and it works, I am using clang version 3.2 (tags/RELEASE_32/final)

Comment 3:

GCC 4.8 macro expansion tracking modifies the output. cgo parses the output of GCC on a
specially crafted file to classify identifiers.
See issue #5118 for a workaround to disable the macro expansion tracking.

Labels changed: added cgo.
