Dean,
Command cgo
https://golang.org/cmd/cgo/#hdr-Go_references_to_C
In C, a function argument written as a fixed size array actually requires a
pointer to the first element of the array. C compilers are aware of this
calling convention and adjust the call accordingly, but Go cannot. In Go,
you must pass the pointer to the first element explicitly: C.f(&C.x[0]).
