bind: bad return type name in generated method if original returned type is pointer

[ryszard]

If I run go bind on the following code:

package pygo

type Bar struct{}

type Foo struct{}

func (Bar) Foo() *Foo {
    return &Foo{}
}

I get the following error:

2016/02/12 14:58:50 work: /var/folders/00/158q8000h01000cxqpysvccm004n2x/T/gopy-437831770

/var/folders/00/158q8000h01000cxqpysvccm004n2x/T/gopy-437831770/pygo.go:182:54: unrecognized Go type cgo_type_Foo
2016/02/12 14:58:51 error dispatching command: exit status 1

In the generated source, the method looks like

//export cgo_func_pygo_Bar_Foo
func cgo_func_pygo_Bar_Foo(self cgo_type_pygo_Bar) ( cgo_type_Foo) {
    _gopy_000 := (*pygo.Bar)(unsafe.Pointer(self)).Foo()
    cgopy_incref(unsafe.Pointer(&_gopy_000))
    return cgo_type_Foo(unsafe.Pointer(&_gopy_000))
}

The returned type is cgo_type_Foo, while it should actually be cgo_type_pygo_Foo (which is defined later in the generated file).

The fact that it's a pointer to Foo is important:

func (Bar) Foo() Foo {
    return Foo{}
}

is generated fine.

Oh, and there's no problem if it's a function that returns the pointer.
