What did you do?

I am writing an application that uses cgo. For this reason, I want to compile with all warnings as errors.

Here is a minimal reproducer of the issue.

package main

/*
#cgo CFLAGS: -Werror -Wunused-parameter
*/
import "C"

func main() {

}

//export foo
func foo() {

}

What did you see happen?

$ go build
# command-line-arguments
cgo-generated-wrappers:1:37: error: unused parameter 'p' [-Werror,-Wunused-parameter]

I believe it is referring to _cgo_main.c, which looks like this:

#include <stddef.h>
int main() { return 0; }
void crosscall2(void(*fn)(void*) __attribute__((unused)), void *a __attribute__((unused)), int c __attribute__((unused)), size_t ctxt __attribute__((unused))) { }
size_t _cgo_wait_runtime_init_done(void) { return 0; }
void _cgo_release_context(size_t ctxt __attribute__((unused))) { }
char* _cgo_topofstack(void) { return (char*)0; }
void _cgo_allocate(void *a __attribute__((unused)), int c __attribute__((unused))) { }
void _cgo_panic(void *a __attribute__((unused)), int c __attribute__((unused))) { }
void _cgo_reginit(void) { }
#line 1 "cgo-generated-wrappers"
void _cgoexp_d15c4901095e_foo(void* p){}

What did you expect to see?

No errors.
