Go编写OpenVPN插件：cgo导出函数与C头文件定义冲突问题

问题背景 #

我尝试用Go开发OpenVPN插件，OpenVPN提供的C头文件中定义了核心接口函数：

int openvpn_plugin_open_v3(const int version, struct openvpn_plugin_args_open_in const *arguments, struct openvpn_plugin_args_open_return *retptr)

我不清楚如何在Go中正确实现带有const限定符的C函数，编写代码后编译出现类型冲突错误。

实现的Go代码 #

package main

/*
#define OPENVPN_WRAPPER_H
#include "./openvpn-plugin.h"
*/
import "C"
import (
    "fmt"
    "os"
)

const OPENVPN_PLUGIN_STRUCTVER_MIN = 5

//export openvpn_plugin_open_v3
func openvpn_plugin_open_v3(
    version C.int,
    arguments *C.struct_openvpn_plugin_args_open_in,
    retptr *C.struct_openvpn_plugin_args_open_return,
) C.int {
    if version < OPENVPN_PLUGIN_STRUCTVER_MIN {
        fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "%d: this plugin is incompatible with the running version of OpenVPN\n", OPENVPN_PLUGIN_STRUCTVER_MIN)
        return C.OPENVPN_PLUGIN_FUNC_ERROR
    }

    return C.OPENVPN_PLUGIN_FUNC_SUCCESS
}

func main() {}

如何在Go中正确实现带有C语言const限定符的OpenVPN插件函数，解决当前的类型冲突问题？
