What does 'go version' print?
go version go1.3beta2 +1af13552a260 Sun Jun 01 13:57:46 2014 -0400 linux/amd64

What steps reproduce the problem?
If possible, include a link to a program on play.golang.org.

The p1 repo doesn't compile while the p2 repo does. The only difference is that p1 uses
multiple source files while p2 only uses a single source file.

1. go get github.com/mewmew/playground/p1
2. Prints the cgo error "inconsistent definitions for C.sfColor"

3. go get github.com/mewmew/playground/p2
4. Compiles without any errors.

The following files are present in the p1 repo:
* "a.go": http://play.golang.org/p/zQLkeed3id
* "b.go": http://play.golang.org/p/Uj09NA58LZ
* "Color.h": http://play.golang.org/p/fBghn23MNw

The following files are present in the p1 repo:
* "ab.go": http://play.golang.org/p/_nlL3rP6JB
* "Color.h": http://play.golang.org/p/fBghn23MNw

What happened?
p1 fails to compile, while p2 succeeds.

What should have happened instead?
Both p1 and p2 should compile without any errors.

Please provide any additional information below.
This issue may have been introduced recently, and if so most likely by rev
177ed19da89fc68391d6e2411163ffe777180637.

Comment 1:

Just noticed a minor copy-paste typo.
"p1" should be "p2" in the following paragraph:
The following files are present in the p1 repo:
* "ab.go": http://play.golang.org/p/_nlL3rP6JB
* "Color.h": http://play.golang.org/p/fBghn23MNw

Comment 2:

I'm not sure whether this is a bug or not.  In any case, the workaround seems
straightforward: don't import "C" in two different files in the same package.

Labels changed: added repo-main, release-go1.4.

summary:     cmd/cgo: given typedef struct S T, make C.T and C.struct_S interchangeable
This is obviously a bug.

Comment 4:

I believe the problem here is specifically with a C .h file that does a typedef of an
untagged struct.  If the Go package has more than one file that import "C" and #include
that .h file, then we get this error from cgo.
In cgo terms, the problem is that the typedef has been given the Go name of the struct. 
Since the structs are untagged, they get Go names like _Ctype_struct___INDEX, where
INDEX differs.  So we appears to have the same typedef referring to two different
structs.

Thanks for fixing this Ian. It was more complicated than I thought.

cmd/cgo: use same Go type for typedef to anonymous struct

If we see a typedef to an anonymous struct more than once,
presumably in two different Go files that import "C", use the
same Go type name.

Fixes #8133.
