c - Why doesn't CGo recognize my struct declared in a header file? -

i getting error "./test.h:10:3: error: unknown type name 'process'" when include header file test.h has struct definition process part of c go lang application. code compiles in c no problems imagine i'm doing simple incorrectly...

package main  // #include <sys/mman.h> // #include <errno.h> // #include <inttypes.h> // #include <stdlib.h> // #include "test.h" import "c"  import (     "fmt"     _"unsafe"   )   func main() {     fmt.println("retrieving process list");  } 

the contents of test.h below...

#include <sys/mman.h> #include <errno.h> #include <inttypes.h> #include <stdlib.h>  struct process {     char *name;     int os_type;     addr_t address;     process *next;      //fields care     unsigned int uid;     unsigned int gid;     unsigned int is_root;     unsigned int io_r;     unsigned int io_wr;     unsigned int io_sys_r;     unsigned int io_sys_wr;     unsigned int used_super;     unsigned int is_k_thread;     unsigned int cpus;     unsigned long hw_rss;     unsigned long vma_size;     unsigned long map_count;     unsigned long pages;     unsigned long total_map;     unsigned long min_flt;     unsigned long mm_usrs;     unsigned long nr_ptes;     unsigned long nvcsw;  }; 

in c, (unlike c++), struct keyword not declare type-name can used on own; needs qualification struct keyword. the type struct process not process:

struct process  {     char* name ;     int os_type ;     addr_t address ;     struct process* next ;   // struct keyword needed here     ...
