Next, cgo needs to identify the kinds for each identifier. For the
identifiers C.foo and C.bar, cgo generates this C program:

Next, cgo must learn the details of each type, variable, function, or
constant. It can do this by reading object files. If cgo has decided
that t1 is a type, v2 and v3 are variables or functions, and c4, c5,
and c6 are constants, it generates:

and again invokes the system C compiler, to produce an object file
containing debug information. Cgo parses the DWARF debug information
for __cgo__N to learn the type of each identifier. (The types also
distinguish functions from global variables.) If using a standard gcc,
cgo can parse the DWARF debug information for the __cgo_enum__N to
learn the identifier's value. The LLVM-based gcc on OS X emits
incomplete DWARF information for enums; in that case cgo reads the
constant values from the __cgo_debug_data from the object file's data
segment.

values from the __cgodebug_* from the object file's data segment.
At this point cgo knows the meaning of each C.xxx well enough to start
the translation process.
