What steps will reproduce the problem?
`go run` with the following program: http://play.golang.org/p/ftVTmkOKfH


What is the expected output?
{0} (OK on 1.1.2)

What do you see instead?
cgo fails to compile with
# command-line-arguments
./sndfilebug.go:16: s.loops undefined (type *_Ctype_SF_INSTRUMENT has no field or method
loops)

Which compiler are you using (5g, 6g, 8g, gccgo)?
6g

Which operating system are you using?
OS X 10.8
Darwin HOSTNAME 12.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 12.5.0: Mon Jul 29 16:33:49 PDT 2013;
root:xnu-2050.48.11~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

Which version are you using?  (run 'go version')
go version devel +ec7b58d6a977 Mon Sep 23 14:15:20 2013 -0700 darwin/amd64

Please provide any additional information below.
This does indeed work on 10.7 (using llvm-gcc 4.2.1) while 10.8 is using Apple LLVM
version 4.2 (clang-425.0.28) (based on LLVM 3.2svn)

Here are the commands from the ill-fated machine:

Comment 1:

FYI, as a workaround until it's fixed proper you can set the environment variable CC=gcc:
20:50 /tmp $ go run sndfile.go
# command-line-arguments
./sndfile.go:16: s.loops undefined (type *_Ctype_SF_INSTRUMENT has no field or method
loops)
20:50 /tmp $ CC=gcc go run sndfile.go
{0}
20:50 /tmp $

Comment 4:

This is a problem with LLVM. Setting`CC=gcc` doesn't work because gcc on OS X is a gcc
front-end backed by LLVM.
For now you can avoid LLVM and use plain GNU gcc by installing it with homebrew `brew
install gcc48`, then use it by prefixing your build command `CC=gcc-4.9 go build`. For
C++ code do `CXX=g++-4.8 go build` instead.
When building go you can set the default C compiler like this `CC=gcc-4.8 ./all.bash`.
Since revision 1607e9e9e6de you can also set the default C++ compiler: `CC=gcc-4.8
CXX=g++-4.8 ./all.bash`.

Setting "CC=gcc" works fine on 10.8.

> This is a problem with LLVM.
I disagree, it's a problem with clang, not LLVM. My paste from above was running on my
MBP with the "regular" OS X llvm backed gcc, no need to involve homebrew. Just to be
verbose:

This is (of course) clang's fault. Here is an interesting dump:
g% cat x.c
typedef struct s1 {
    struct s2 {
        int mode;
    } loops[16];

typedef struct s3 {

    } loops[16];
} s3;

s3 y;

The named version (s1/s2) is fine: s1 is at 0x54...0x6b and s2 is at 0x2d...0x44. The
unnamed version (s3) contains the anonymous inner struct definition at offsets
0xa1...0xb4 nested *inside* the outer struct definition at 0x99...0xc4. Despite this,
the array of 16 of those structs has a type outside the outer struct (0x8d...0x98). We
could argue about whether it's even valid to place the inner struct where it is, but we
can handle it now that we know to expect it.
Sigh.
