从Visual Studio 2019中的C项目访问Golang代码

Question

I have a C project in Visual Studio 2019 and I would like to use certain functions written in Go within it.

I have a test file called ctest.go which has the following contents:

package main

import (
    "C"
    "fmt"
)

//export printInt
func printInt(x int) {
    fmt.Printf("Hello from go: %d", x)
}

func main() {}

I'm generating a static library with this command:

go build -buildmode=c-archive ctest.go

I end up with two files, ctest.a and ctest.h which I include in my VS project. I include ctest.h in my code and immediately get these errors:

identifier "__SIZE_TYPE__" is undefined
expected a ';'
expected a ';'

The generated header file contains the following lines which caused it:

typedef __SIZE_TYPE__ GoUintptr;
typedef float _Complex GoComplex64;
typedef double _Complex GoComplex128;

I replaced __SIZE_TYPE__ by size_t and just commented out the _Complex lines to stop the errors.

Now my VS project compiles while including the header file. But as soon as I try to use my go function like this:

printInt(5);

I get 2 warnings followed by 6 errors:

Warning LNK4078 multiple '.text' sections found with different attributes (60600060)    AWO F:\AWO\AWO\ctest.a(go.o)

Error   LNK1120 2 unresolved externals  AWO F:\AWO\Debug\AWO.exe    1   

This is where I'm stuck. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or should be doing differently to properly use the library generated with go.
