That said, I have to agree that defining methods on types defined by cgo is never necessary and can only cause confusion. And cgo could report an error when it sees it. So please consider opening an issue to change cmd/cgo to issue an error for an attempt to define a method on a type defined in the C pseudo-package. Thanks.
